YOY calculation - last year data not populating
- 3 years ago
Hi InsightsByV ,
The LY is blank because it is based on the current date. Because I lack the data.
So I create an sample table to explain it.
If I use the formula you give, it will show like this:
The data was calculated by the current year, not the last year.
So even if it has the true number, but in the wrong position.
You can try this method:
In my example, I set a date to separate the two fiscal year. I choose the Feb 1st, just an example, you can change it to what you need.
New measure LY:
LY = -- set the Feb 1st as the boundary of every fiscal year var _startdate = DATE(YEAR(TODAY()) - 1, 2,1) var _Current = DATE(YEAR(TODAY()), 2 ,1 ) return CALCULATE(SUM('sheet'[Actual Cost]), FILTER('sheet', 'sheet'[Invoice Date] >= _startdate && 'sheet'[Invoice Date] <= _Current))The result is:
Hope this helps you. Here is my PBIX file.
