Sameperiodlastyear

Hi mates
I have dataset of sales for 2 years. FY starts from Aug to Jul.
I have a slicer for FY.
I am trying to get Sales from YTD(Aug to Dec current FY) but data set has future dates which is fine. And also need to get last year sales for the sameperiod(2018 Aug to Dec current date).
I have created measure to get current YTD revenue as
Sales YTD = SUMX(Filter(table, salesdate <= today()), salesvalue)

How do I get last year sales value(DAX expression)?

Regards

    Hi rajanimaddala ,

    Your YTD looks a little weird. Do you want a measure similar to the following:

     

    Sales YTD =
VAR _lastdate =
    DATE ( YEAR ( NOW () ) - 1, MONTH ( NOW () ), DAY ( NOW () - 1 ) )
RETURN
    SUMX ( FILTER ( table, salesdate <= _lastdate ), salesvalue )

     

    If it doesn't meet your requirement, kindly share your sample data and expected result if you don't have any Confidential Information. Please upload your files to One Drive and share the link here.

    Hi rajanimaddala ,

     

    In order to calculate last year sales you can use any measure out of below 4 mentioned:

    1. Last Year Sales  = CALCULATE(SUM([Total Sales]),DATEADD([Date]),-1,YEAR))

    2. Last Year Sales  = CALCULATE(SUM([Total Sales]),PREVIOUSYEAR([Date]))

    3. Last Year Sales  = CALCULATE(SUM([Total Sales]),PARALLELPERIOD([Date],-1,YEAR))

    4. Last Year Sales = CALCULATE([Total Sales], SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR(‘Calendar’ [Date]))
