Hello. I want to calculate for example the total amount of the sales from previous year and show this amount in the column 'total sales 2018'.
How can I do this? Thanks for a response.
Year | Total sales | Total sales 2018 |
2017 | 10000 | 12500 |
2018 | 12500 | 12500 |
2019 | 14000 | 12500 |

Hello!
To calculate the total from distinct periods, we need to use the functions of "time intelligence". For that, we need a "Calendar Table". So, here's what we gotta do:
1- Create a new column in the date format based on your Year;
NewDate = DATE([Year];1;1)
// This will generate a column with the dates "01/01/2017", "01/01/2018", "01/01/2019"
2- Create a Calendar Table
Using the button "New Table", insert the DAX below:
Calendar =
// Will generate a table called "Calendar", starting on "01/01/2017" and finishing at "01/01/2019"
CALENDAR(
MIN(Sales[NewDate]);
MAX(Sales[NewDate])
)
3- Create a relationship between the "Sales" and "Calendar" tables using the columns Sales[NewDate] (many side) and Calendar[Date] (one side). In this case, the relationship will be "one to one", assuming that we have only one row for each Year in the Sales table.
4- Create the new metric for the total sales amount from previous year:
Total Sales Previous Year = CALCULATE( [Total Sales]; PREVIOUSYEAR('Calendar'[Date]) )
5- Enjoy
If that solved your issues, remember to mark this as the correct awnser.
And if that's not what you were looking for, let me know and I will do the best to help you again.
