See variance with previous year based on selections

[rpinxt]

This is the situation:

So I have a matrix where I now have selected (slicers not in picture) years 2023 and 2024. LBE1 and LBE2.

Addendum is the value (measure) of the matrix.

What I am trying to do it to make a measure variance (var) which for instance takes 2024 LBE2 and subtracts 2023 LBE2.

Did not succeed so I tried first getting the value of the year before.

But as you can see it only gives me the total.

Is there a way to get what I want?

@rpinxt , previousyear will the full value of last year, use sameperiodlastyear

example

Year behind Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year))
Year behind Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('Date'[Date]))

Ah thanks @amitchandak for pointing that out!

Makes sence that previousyear would be full year.

Thanks for pointing me to the sameperiodlastyear measure!

Works like a charm.
