 TotalVolume_CS = SUM(test_data[VOLUME_CS])

Current_MTD = CALCULATE([TotalVolume_CS],DATESMTD(DateTable[Date]))
Current_YTD = CALCULATE([TotalVolume_CS],DATESYTD(DateTable[Date]))
SPLY_MTD = CALCULATE([Current_MTD],SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR(DateTable[Date]))
SPLY_YTD = CALCULATE([Current_YTD],SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR(DateTable[Date]))

and make sure in the visualization you are using columns from the DateTable

@dilip_powebi when you are working with time intelligence, you should use a calendar table in your measure. You can check my YT videos on the time intelligence functions, understand the basics, and then everything should be fine. Learn basics of Time Intelligence DAX functions - Part 1 - YouTube
