YOY Measure returning incorrect value in matrix with Client as context
- Anonymous1 year ago
Hello olimilo,
Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum.
I tested your scenario in Power BI Desktop with sample data, and I was able to reproduce the issue you described where the YOY measure returned incorrect values when Client was added to the matrix.The root cause is that the original measure was not correctly maintaining the Client context when retrieving the prior-year values. After adjusting the DAX, the YOY values now calculate as expected both at the Year level and the Year + Client level.
Here are the corrected measures:
Total AU = SUM(AWF[AU]) Total MD = SUM(AWF[MD]) YOY AU = VAR _year = MAX(AWF[Year]) VAR _currval = [Total AU] VAR _prevval = CALCULATE ( [Total AU], FILTER ( ALL (AWF), AWF[Year] = _year - 1 && AWF[Client] = MAX(AWF[Client]) ) ) RETURN DIVIDE (_currval - _prevval, _prevval) YOY MD = VAR _year = MAX(AWF[Year]) VAR _currval = [Total MD] VAR _prevval = CALCULATE ( [Total MD], FILTER ( ALL (AWF), AWF[Year] = _year - 1 && AWF[Client] = MAX(AWF[Client]) ) ) RETURN DIVIDE (_currval - _prevval, _prevval)With these measures, the matrix now returns the correct YOY values per Client and per Year.
For example, with the sample dataset:
For your reference, I am attaching the .pbix file that demonstrates the corrected implementation.

Your YOY AU measure breaks when you add Client to the matrix because _prevval doesn’t inherit the Client filter. To fix it, update your measure like this
YOY AU =
VAR _year = MAX('AWF'[Year])
VAR _currval = COUNTROWS('AWF')
VAR _prevval =
CALCULATE(
COUNTROWS('AWF'),
'AWF'[Year] = _year - 1,
ALL('AWF'[Year]) -- Removes year filter, keeps Client
)
RETURN
DIVIDE(_currval - _prevval, _prevval)
