SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR not working as expected for filtered measure

[priyanath1988]

Hi,

I am trying to create a measure that calculates the "amount" same period last year. Like below 

_A_PY =

var final =CALCULATE( (CALCULATE(SUM('A'[AMOUNT]),'A'[COUNTRY] ="USA")), SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('calendar'[Date]))

return final

however it gives me same values for current and previous year

Could you please explain what wrong am I doing?

Thanks

Priya

Hi @priyanath1988 ,

According to your description, here are my steps you can follow as a solution.

(1) This is my test data.  

(2)We can create a table.

CALENDAR = CALENDAR(DATE(2021,1,1),DATE(2022,12,31))

(2) We can create two measures.

Measure = CALCULATE(SUM(A[Amount]),FILTER('A','A'[Country]="USA"))

_A_PY = CALCULATE('A'[Measure], SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('CALENDAR'[Date]))

 (3) Then the result is as follows.

If the above one can't help you get the desired result, please provide some sample data in your tables (exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with backend logic and special examples. It is better if you can share a simplified pbix file. Thank you.
