Sameperiodlastyear without dates in Fact Table

[mbuhary]

Hi All,

I have a fact table with only Year & month.
I have created a Date Table using these two columns via Calendar function using Min Year & month and Max Year & Month and marked it as a Date Table.

But When I try to create a measure for Previous Period Calculations the results appears without any filters for the whole available data.

Measure:

SalesValue = 
VAR SumValue=SUM(Daily_Sales[SalesValue])
VAR Result= CALCULATE(SumValue,SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR(d_Date[Date]))
Return Result

Any help is appreciated.

@mbuhary , You can then create date from year and month 

example 

date = date([year], [month],1) // I can suggest more ways 

MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD('Date'[Date]))
last MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,MONTH)))
last month Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),previousmonth('Date'[Date]))

YTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD('Date'[Date],"12/31"))
Last YTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year),"12/31"))
This year Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD(ENDOFYEAR('Date'[Date]),"12/31"))
Last year Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD(ENDOFYEAR(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year)),"12/31"))

Thank you, I was thinking on the same lines, and it solved the Issue.

I removed the additional Table d_Year/Month and now directly created relationship of the fact table with date table. So now all Time Intelligence functions are working.

e.g. for same period last year,

Thank you for your reply in detail.

So do you mean that I will not be able to use any Time Intellignce functions using the Date Table ?

@mbuhary , With help of d_yearmonth you can get data of the previous year

new column in d_yearmonth 

Month Rank = RANKX(all('d_yearmonth '),'Date'[YrMonth],,ASC,Dense)

example measure

This Month = CALCULATE(sum('daily_sales'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL('d_yearmonth '),'d_yearmonth '[Month Rank]=max('d_yearmonth '[Month Rank]))

Last Month = CALCULATE(sum('daily_sales'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL('d_yearmonth '),'d_yearmonth '[Month Rank]=max('d_yearmonth '[Month Rank])-1))

Last year Month = CALCULATE(sum('daily_sales'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL('d_yearmonth '),'d_yearmonth '[Month Rank]=max('d_yearmonth '[Month Rank])-12))

//Only year vs Year, not a level below

This Year = CALCULATE(sum('daily_sales'[Qty]),filter(ALL('d_yearmonth '),'Date'[Year]=max('d_yearmonth '[Year])))
Last Year = CALCULATE(sum('daily_sales'[Qty]),filter(ALL('d_yearmonth '),'Date'[Year]=max('d_yearmonth '[Year])-1))
