the data per year is variety from 2.700 rows to 72.000 rows

Sales by date (every day)

We have already create chart from monthly to yearly summarized data using sum function.

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.
