HI!
I have the same data in table:
DATE | NUMBER | ID | SUM |
01.01.2018 | 1 | 1 | 550 |
01.01.2018 | 1 | 1011 | 1000 |
01.01.2018 | 2 | 4 | 1500 |
01.01.2018 | 3 | 3 | 200 |
02.01.2018 | 2 | 4 | 700 |
02.01.2018 | 2 | 204 | 600 |
03.01.2018 | 3 | 3 | 300 |
... | ... | ... | ... |
and I need to calculate the total sum for every NUMBER by DATE year ago. How i can do it?
I created column with _PREV_DATE and tried to use:
but it failed (blank), what am i doing wrong?
so i want something like this (may be it can be measure, not calculated column):
DATE | NUMBER | ID | SUM | SUM YEAR AGO |
01.01.2018 | 1 | 1 | 550 | 800 |
01.01.2018 | 1 | 1011 | 1000 | 800 |
01.01.2018 | 2 | 4 | 1500 | 600 |
01.01.2018 | 3 | 3 | 200 | 1500 |
02.01.2018 | 2 | 4 | 700 | 750 |
02.01.2018 | 2 | 204 | 600 | 750 |
03.01.2018 | 3 | 3 | 300 | 100 |

Hi @a1enas
You may create a measure like below:
Measure = VAR _pre = DATE ( YEAR ( MAX ( Table1[Date] ) ) - 1, MONTH ( MAX ( Table1[Date] ) ), DAY ( MAX ( Table1[Date] ) ) ) RETURN CALCULATE ( SUM ( Table1[SUM] ), FILTER ( ALL ( Table1 ), Table1[Date] = _pre && Table1[Number] = MAX ( Table1[Number] ) ) )

Hi,
Ensure that the entreis in the Date column are actual date entries (so replace . with /). Create a Calendar Table and build a relationship from the Date column of the Data Table with the Date column of the Calendar Table. In the Calendar Table, extract Year and Months using the following calculated column formulas. Year = Year(Calendar[Date]) and Month = FORMAT(Calendar[Date],"mmmm"). To your visual, drag Year and Month from the Calendar Table and Number, ID from the Data Table. Write the following measures
Total = SUM(Data[Sum])
Total LY = CALCULATE([Total],PREVIOUSYEAR(Calendar[Date])
Hope this helps.
