year over year problem

Hi, rikisax 

According to your description and sample picture, you want to get the Plants previous year based on the time period selected in the Slicer. I created some data based on your data and achieve this, you can take a look and find if it’s useful:

This is my test data:

1. Create a Calendar table and do not give them the relationship, because the value of [Plants previous year] will be filtered if the relationship is given:

Calendar = CALENDARAUTO()

2. Create two measures:

Plants perivous year =

var _mindate=MIN('Calendar'[Date])

var _maxdate=MAX('Calendar'[Date])

return

CALCULATE(SUM(BI_SpecieSettimaneOV[Plants]),

FILTER('BI_SpecieSettimaneOV',

[Date]>=DATE(YEAR(_mindate)-1,MONTH(_mindate),DAY(_mindate))&&

[Date]<=DATE(YEAR(_maxdate)-1,MONTH(_maxdate),DAY(_maxdate))))

Plants this year =

var _mindate=MIN('Calendar'[Date])

var _maxdate=MAX('Calendar'[Date])

return

CALCULATE(SUM(BI_SpecieSettimaneOV[Plants]),

FILTER('BI_SpecieSettimaneOV',

[Date]>=_mindate&&[Date]<=_maxdate))

3. Create a Slicer and place ‘Calendar’[Date], then a Matrix and place it like this:

And I guess this can roughly meet the requirement that you want.

If this result is not what you want, you can post some sample data(without sensitive data) and your expected result.
