    Hi LisaB,

     

    I suppose that PostedSalesInvoice table is connected to the calendar table by posting date. You can either change the relationship by connecting to the order date or you can create a new inactive relationship between calendar date and order date.

    Then you can write a measure as below:

     

    OrderLY =
CALCULATE (
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( PostedSalesInvoices[Amount] ),
        USERELATIONSHIP ( PostedSalesInvoices[Order_Date], CalendarDate[Date] )
    )
        + SUM ( SalesOrderList[Amount] ),
    SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR ( CalendarDate[Date] ),
    CalendarDate[SameDayLY] = TRUE ()
)

    I hope you can solve now!

 Hi Anonymous and Anonymous,

 

Thank you for your replies.

 

I've got a calendar table.

 

With the first formula (rejendran) I get the value for the whole month last year. How can I add the filter on order date = samedayLY?

 

With the second formula I didn't get anything at all. :/

 

Worth to mention is that I have a report level filter date on this month.

 

Thanks!

 

Lisa

After calculate column samedayLY try this measure:

 

OrderLY= CALCULATE[OrderValue], SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR(CalendarDate[Date]), CalendarDate[samedayLY] = TRUE())

    Hi Anonymous,

     

    Thanks - that formula gives me a value now. However, not the value I'm looking for.

     

    In my PostedSalesInvoice table, I have two dates, posting date and order date. It might be that an invoice has been posted after the order date, i.e. order date = 2018-01-29 but posting date = 2018-01-31.

     

    I want to show the values filtered on order date = same date LY. Now it gives me the value of posting date = same date LY.

     

    Hope this makes sense.

        Hi @Chiara,,

        Thanks for your solution it helped me a lot in a similar case that needed SameDayLY calculated column but your way returned a true value for "2019-03-01" if Today date was a Leap day for example "2020-02-29" but that was a wrong behavior according to my business requirements so I handled it as follow:

        SameDayLY =
        var TodayDate = TODAY() // "2020-02-29"
        var TodayYear = YEAR(TodayDate)
        var LastYear = YEAR(TodayDate)-1
        var LastMonth = MONTH(TodayDate)
        var LastDay = DAY(TodayDate)
        return
        IF ( MOD(TodayYear,4) = 0 && LastMonth = 2 && LastDay =29 , FALSE() , 'Calendar'[Date]= DATE(LastYear,LastMonth,LastDay))

        Regards;
