For starters, can someone please stop reporting this as spam. It's not spam, I'm just looking for some help.
So I am building out a visualization that leverages time as a filter/slicer to pick between two points in time. From that filtering/slicer of time, I'm looking to see a like for like comparison between what would be most akin to the inverse of the 'SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR' function.
The How: Basically, if I were to pick a date range between 8/1/2017 - 12/31/2017 or 8/1/2015 - 12/31/2015 I would want to have a series of values summed for 8/1/2017 - 12/31/2017 next to a series of values summed for 8/1/2018 - 12/31/2018. Basically, no matter the time change be it the year 2017, or 2015, or 2005 (if there were data), I'd want to see a measurement summation between the selected filtered date and the SAMEPERIODTHISYEAR.
Note: The way I want to have the filter used in a way where the users pick the date value for the period in question, and in one chart they see the Selected Period's "burn rate" in one chart, then in a separate chart see the Current Year's "burn rate" in another chart. I've tried a few ways to work through this one, but with the variable of the calculation makes for DATEADD a little complex, because the Current Year is never going to be static during the timeline of the Power BI Report.
