    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

Hello LaurenceSD 

You can simply create a measure as follows

Bookings CY = Calculate(DistinctCount(BookingsID),

,DATESBETWEEN(Ops_Dashboard[RouteDate],DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),1,1),TODAY()))

)

Other Measures should be good

Did I answer your question? If Yes Please mark this as solution

Hi Jay,

 

That doesn't seem to work, seems to reproduce the current year for every single year

 

 

What I'm ideally trying to show is the year on year variation with year going across the top and months down the side. And what I've done so far works fine for dates in the past, I just can't seem to find a way of stopping Feb 21 being compared to Feb 20, because Feb 21 hasn't happened yet.
