Using MMM-YY with a Year value
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.
Hello OuluChris
what values you would like to show? The rates value?
Then you probably need a custom measure.
here the measure
Rates:=CALCULATE(sum(Rates[Rate]);filter(values(Rates[Year]);COUNTROWS(RELATEDTABLE('Calendar'))>0))Here my data
here my datamodel

JimmyMy data looks like this which means that the relationships can't flow in the direction you showed and therefore it doesn't work.

Hello OuluChris
it can flow. Just use the measure in my post. And see my outcome as well, it's working
