Hi @yamina ,

First of all I think the SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR function requires the Date data type, which is the reason for the wrong result you reported.

I create a table as you mentioned and make it as a matrix.

Then I create a measure and here is the DAX code you can refer.

YTD n-1 = 
CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Total]), 'Table'[Year] = 2023)

Best Regards
