    Hi powerbi56 ,

    According to your description, I create a sample.

    By your formula, get the same result as you described.

    Here's my solution, modify the formula like this:

    Last 12 before 12 =
IF (
    [Last 12] = BLANK (),
    BLANK (),
    CALCULATE ( 'Data'[Total], SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR ( Data[Month] ) )
)

    Get the expected result.

    I attach my sample below for reference.

//Date1 is independent Date table, Date is joined with Table
Last 12  =
var _max = maxx(allselected(Date1),Date1[Date])
var _min = eomonth(_max, -12) +1
return
calculate( sum(Table[Value]), filter('Date', 'Date'[Date] >=_min && 'Date'[Date] <=_max))

 

 

//Date1 is independent Date table, Date is joined with Table
Last 12 before 12 =
var _max = eomonth(maxx(allselected(Date1),Date1[Date]),-12)
var _min = eomonth(_max, -12) +1
return
calculate( sum(Table[Value]), filter('Date', 'Date'[Date] >=_min && 'Date'[Date] <=_max))

 

or

 

Last 12 before 12 = calculate([Last 12], dateadd(date[date],-1, year))

Thank you so much! It worked, but they are on two different areas, I wonder if there is a way to combine them. For example it looks like this right now. 

 

Is there a way to have them combined like this? 

 

 

Thank you!!
