I am trying to calculate YOY but not working...
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @staycool
By my test, your formula is worked. You can have a try to the following steps to check your table.
1.Required the table about date is a calendar table , if you use a time intelligence function.
2.Choose Modeling -->Manage Relationships. The relationship of two tables is many-to-one.
3.In report view, choose Modeling --> New Measure
DATEADD() and SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR() are related to the date, you need to add the date in the calendar table.
total sales = sum('data'[Gross Sales])
last year = CALCULATE('data'[total sales],DATEADD('Table2'[DATE].[Date],-1,year))
last year2 = CALCULATE( [total sales], SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('Table 2'[Date].[Date]))
Different = IF( ISBLANK([last year2]),BLANK(),[last year2] -[total sales] )
YOY = [Different] / [last year2]
