sum complete last year (Year to Year -1)

Hey Guys, 

 

i need your help, please. 

 

I want to measure the Total amount of the last year (YTY-1).

But i have one restiiction: I am using a measure of the YTD. If I filter the month, I get the YTY-1 with filtered values too. But it should measure the total value of the last year

 

Best regards from Germany 🙂

 

my current measure:

Hi!

Do you have a Date table (Set and use date tables in Power BI Desktop - Power BI | Microsoft Learn)?
If so, PREVIOUSYEAR() should work, in the form of:

AA_Betrag_YTY-1 := 
CALCULATE(
    [korrigierter Betrag], //assuming this is the measure you want to calculate
    PREVIOUSYEAR(Dates[Date]) //date column from your date table
    )
