Sum of a column

I have two columns, SumLast12Months and SumLast12Months2YearsAgo. 

SumLast12Months gives me the sum of the spend of visitors in the last 12 months and  SumLast12Months2YearsAgo gives ,e the sum of the spend over 12 months, 2 years ago.

 

SumLast12Months =
CALCULATE(
    SUM('NRR Data'[Value]),
    DATESINPERIOD('Dates'[Date], DATEADD(LASTDATE('Dates'[Date]), 0, YEAR), -12, MONTH)
)

SumLast12Months2YearsAgo =
CALCULATE(
    SUM('NRR Data'[Value]),
    DATESINPERIOD('Dates'[Date], DATEADD(LASTDATE('Dates'[Date]), -1, YEAR), -12, MONTH)
)

What I'm trying to do is create a measure/column that calculates for everyone who visted two years ago, how much did they spend last year.

I have the following measure which displays the right information in the table however, the sum on the column is not correct:

TestLogic = IF([SumLast12Months2YearsAgo] > 0, [SumLast12Months], 0)

Hi @MissBI_21 ,

 

You can create a new measure to place on the visual object to check if total is correct.

TestLogic = IF([SumLast12Months2YearsAgo] > 0, [SumLast12Months], 0)
Total_TestLogic = 
SUMX(
    SUMMARIZE(
        'Table',
        'Table'[ColumnName],//Your first column on the visual object (the column that determines the value of the measure that follows)
        "total",[TestLogic]
    ),
    [total]
)

Or:

Total_TestLogic = 
SUMX(VALUES('Table'[ColumnName]),[TestLogic]) 
//Your first column on the visual object (the column that determines the value of the measure that follows)

 

If the above one can't help you get the desired result, please provide some sample data in your tables (exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with backend logic and special examples. It is better if you can share a simplified pbix file. Thank you.
