You'll have to re-model your data as below and create a calendar table as @Anonymous suggests.

calendar = 
ADDCOLUMNS (
    CALENDAR ( "2015-04-01", "2018-03-30" ),
    "Fin Year", IF (
        MONTH ( [Date] ) < 4,
        CONCATENATE ( CONCATENATE ( YEAR ( [Date] ) - 1, "-" ), YEAR ( [Date] ) ),
        CONCATENATE ( CONCATENATE ( YEAR ( [Date] ), "-" ), YEAR ( [Date] ) + 1 )
    ),
    "YearMonth", CONCATENATE (
        CONCATENATE ( YEAR ( [Date] ), "-" ),
        RIGHT ( CONCATENATE ( "0", MONTH ( [Date] ) ), 2 )
    )
)

Then create relationship between those two tables.

Then create two measures like

Previous Month Qty = CALCULATE(SUM(yourTable[Qty]), PREVIOUSMONTH('calendar'[Date]))

Previous Year Qty = CALCULATE(SUM(yourTable[Qty]), SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('calendar'[Date]))

Check more detail in the attached pbix.

I Am Trying to Convert My Data    Fin Year & Month  in Date. How can i add column for Date by Using...

Fin.Year           Month    Date

2015-2016       April       ?

2016-2017       April       ?

2015-2016       May        ?

2016-2017       May       ?

I would probably do some string munging and use DATEVALUE.  Something like:

=DATEVALUE([Month] & " 1," & LEFT([Fin.Year], 4))

You will want to create a date/calendar table, then create a relationship between your data... and the new calendar table.  Then you can use function like "SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR".

Hi,

I'm not really sure if I am right.

But for me it looks like a normal job for a pivot table (or matrix in Power BI)
