Using MMM-YY with a Year value

Hi,   I set up a Calendar table which includes all the columns I've needed (so far!). I mostly use the MMM-YY column which I then use extensively in pivot tables in Excel to see things at the month...

    I cannot make this work because (I think) my data is not arranged in the same way as the example.

     

    In the end, I came up with a cheat as follows:

     

    CALCULATE(SUM([Rate]),DATESINPERIOD('Calendar'[Date], MIN('Calendar'[Date]),-12,MONTH))

     

    Not very elegant but seems to do what I wanted.

Hello OuluChris 

 

you could also create a year-table and use this for the relationship of your rates- and calendar-table

I tried that but I couldn't make it work.

 

I extracted the year column from the rates table and deleted duplicates. I then linked that year table to the rates table and to the calendar table.

 

When I select a Month-Year value in a pivot table there aren't any values shown. All the values are in a (blank) field.
