    Hi motyagi,

     

    Based on my test, we can get the values as you want the following steps.

    1. Enter the data as you shared and create the measure as below:

    VarianceLastYear = Calculate(SUM('Inventory Summary Data'[Total Production Variance]) ,SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('Inventory Summary Data'[Period]))
    VarianceLast2Year = TOTALYTD(SUM('Inventory Summary Data'[Total Production Variance]),DATEADD('Inventory Summary Data'[Period],-2,YEAR))
    YoYVariance = var
    P =SELECTEDVALUE('Inventory Summary Data'[Financial Year Identifier])
    return
    IF(P = "Current Period",[SumVariance]/[VarianceLastYear]-1)
    YoYVariance2 = var
    P =SELECTEDVALUE('Inventory Summary Data'[Financial Year Identifier])
    return
    IF(P = "Current Period",[SumVariance]/[VarianceLast2Year]-1)


    2. Then we can get the result as below.
