After creating a dimdate table I tried to calculate a measure by using SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR but it does not work.

Hello @peluca,
What is the structure of your data table? Also, I am hoping you have created the relationship between the date of your fact table and the calendar table.
I have recreated the scenario with a sample data:
And created a calendar table:
Calendar =
ADDCOLUMNS (
CALENDAR ( MIN ( dtTable[Order Date] ), MAX ( dtTable[Order Date] ) ),
"Year", YEAR ( [Date] ),
"Month", DATE ( YEAR ( [Date] ), MONTH ( [Date] ), 1 )
)
And mark it as a date table.
Created the relationship:
Created measures:
Total Orders = SUM(dtTable[Order Quantity])
PY Orders =
CALCULATE ( [Total Orders], SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR ( 'Calendar'[Date] ) )
Getting the results in visual:

Vivek
