Hi hasanpkb,

 

To be general, you should firstly achieve the total value in your previous company fiscal year and recent company fiscal year using measures. There're built-in dax functions in power bi like DATEADD()PREVIOUSYEAR(), SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR(), TOTALYTD() which can let you achieve the previous year value based on your senario.
