Hi There ,
Hope you doing well,
I want to create an measure showing Year to Year Total sales in column chart however i want that calculation to pick automatically upcoming year data also e.g 2017,2018,2019,2020 and so on...
I am using this Dax:
Sales LY=calculate(Total[Sales],dateadd(dates(date),-1,Year))
but by this process i have to make each year measure ...So is there any formula where i can use single measure and all the years data will appear in one go
I really appreicate if anyone can help me in this.
Regards,
Ashish

Hi @Ashish_kumar12 ,
First I created a calendar table.
Table =
CALENDAR(
MIN(Sheet2[date]),
MAX(Sheet2[date])
)
Then I created table relationship.
Then I used your measure formula.
Sales LY =
CALCULATE(
SUM(Sheet2[Value]),
DATEADD( 'Table'[Date], -1, YEAR )
)

Look at the "Quick Measures" option in Power BI, it has templates for such a scenario.
Make sure that you have a proper calendar table, too.
