question about sameperiodlastyear
This is my original form sheet1
date quantity
2017/1/1 1
2017/1/2 1
2017/1/3 1
2017/3/25 1
2018/3/5 1
then i use calendar(FIRSTDATE('Sheet1)'[date]),LASTDATE('(Sheet1)'[date]))) to create a table, it has dates from 2017/1/1 to 2018/3/5
create a function
last year=CALCULATE(SUM('Sheet1'[quantity]),SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('表'[Date]))
for 2018,why it shows 4?
the max day is 2018/3/5,Its previous year's date is 2017/3/5 ,sameperiodlastyear should return dates before,it should return 2017/1/1,2017/1/2,2017/1/3
why the result is 4?not 3?
Hii toziu
In your scenario, you used the sameperiodlastyear function to calculate the quantity of the whole previous year, 2017.
sameperiodlastyear - It does not consider the date; it only considers the whole year.Thank you
