Measures did not show up in the table

Question:

Hi all, I am trying to make the previous year measures to appear in the table. The dax I use is

Attrition Rate Last Year = CALCULATE([Attrition Rate Overall], DATEADD('Headcount'[Period],-1,YEAR))

but, when I apply it to the table, the value don’t show up. Any reason?

[m3tr01d]

@bbbbbiiiii Are you doing the DATEADD on you date column?

[m3tr01d]

I mean, the one in the Date table

In order to use any time intelligence calculation, you need a well-formed date table. The Date table must satisfy the following requirements:

• All dates need to be present for the years required. The Date table must always start on January 1 and end on December 31, including all the days in this range. If the report only references fiscal years, then the date table must include all the dates from the first to the last day of a fiscal year. For example, if the fiscal year 2008 starts on July 1, 2007, then the Date table must include all the days from July 1, 2007 to June 30, 2008.
• There needs to be a column with a DateTime or Date data type containing unique values. This column is usually called Date. Even though the Date column is often used to define relationships with other tables, this is not required. Still, the Date column must contain unique values and should be referenced by the Mark as Date Table feature. In case the column also contains a time part, no time should be used – for example, the time should always be 12:00 am.
• The Date table must be marked as a date table in the model, in case the relationship between the Date table and any other table is not based on the Date.

@bbbbbiiiii ,

you can try to use SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR

PY_Value = CALCULATE([CY_Value], SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('Date'[Date]))

i used this too. but it didnt come out. 

my CY_Value is a measure calculated with this formula. Somehow the CY_Value appear but the PY_Value is empty. I am not sure why too. 

Attrition Rate Overall =

DIVIDE(

    COUNT('Attrition'),

    DISTINCTCOUNT('Emp No')

)

Can you provide a pbix file with sample data? Or at least sample table in table format.
