Advocate IIremove future dates from sameperiod last year calc
so i believe i've found a solution, which, I stumbled upon by accident which was removing the .date
So changing this
Bookings LY (Bk date) = CALCULATE(BOOKINGS[Bookings],SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('DATESBKGS&ENQS'[Dates-Bkg&Enq].[Date]))
to
Bookings LY (Bk date) = CALCULATE(BOOKINGS[Bookings],SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('DATESBKGS&ENQS'[Dates-Bkg&Enq]))
Seem to work, I'm guessing it must have something to do with the time intelligence function, but thought i'd post for anyone else who may have a similar querey
Community ChampionLaurenceSD Seems like you need to add a check of something like IF([Date]>TODAY(),BLANK(),...)

Also, see if my Time Intelligence the Hard Way provides a different way of accomplishing what you are going for.

LaurenceSDGreg_Deckler Yeah that was my thinking as well, I tried
Bookings LY (Bk date) = if(SELECTEDVALUE('DATESBKGS&ENQS'[Dates-Bkg&Enq].[Date])>TODAY(),BLANK(),CALCULATE(BOOKINGS[Bookings],SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('DATESBKGS&ENQS'[Dates-Bkg&Enq].[Date]))) & it doesn't seem to produce a result that's any different - any further thoughts on where I'm going wrong?
