9 years agoYesterday last year DAX formula
For today I'm using Today= DATE(YEAR(NOW()),MONTH(NOW()), DAY(NOW()) How would I display Today last year? I was thinking TodayPrevYear = DATE(YEAR(NOW()-1),MONTH(NOW()), DAY(NOW()) But...

Perhaps something like:
Measure = DATE(YEAR(NOW())-1,MONTH(NOW()), DAY(NOW()-1))

You have to subtract 1 from the result of the YEAR function not inside the argument!
If you do YEAR ( NOW()-1 ) as you you've done you are basically asking for the function to return the YEAR of NOW()-1
which would be yesterday this year - thats why you have to get the year first and then subtract 1
TodayPrevYear = DATE ( YEAR ( NOW () ) - 1, MONTH ( NOW () ), DAY ( NOW () ) )
And same if you want yesterday previous year
Obviously for Day it won't matter if you subtract 1 inside or not
YesterdayPrevYear = DATE ( YEAR ( NOW () ) - 1, MONTH ( NOW () ), DAY ( NOW () ) - 1 )
Hope this helps! :smileyhappy:

Hi, You can also obtain:
Today-inPreviousYear = EDATE(TODAY(),-12)
Yesterday-inPreviousYear = EDATE(TODAY(),-12)-1
