Latest Price last year

[LayneCobain]

Hi guys,

I need some help in a very simplified matter.

I have this table:

All I want is the latest price of the product last year (15.12.2021 - 230 EUR).

I tried this code and got 290 EUR, which is correct, because I didn't tell him to calculate the last year:

Last Price = 
VAR MaxDate = CALCULATE(MAX('Umsätze Produkt'[Datum]), ALL('Umsätze Produkt'))
RETURN
CALCULATE(SUM('Umsätze Produkt'[Preis]), FILTER('Umsätze Produkt', 'Umsätze Produkt'[Datum] = MaxDate))

I found the function "previosyear" but when I tried it, I got a blank result... :S

Last Price = 
VAR MaxDate = CALCULATE(MAX('Umsätze Produkt'[Datum]), PREVIOUSYEAR('Umsätze Produkt'[Datum]))
RETURN
CALCULATE(SUM('Umsätze Produkt'[Preis]), FILTER('Umsätze Produkt', 'Umsätze Produkt'[Datum] = MaxDate))

EDIT: I forgot to mention that in my real model are a lot more different products.

Can anybody please help me?

Thank you guys

Hi @LayneCobain ,

Please try below DAX formula:

Measure =
VAR cur_date =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Date] )
VAR cur_year =
    YEAR ( cur_date )
VAR tmp =
    FILTER ( ALL ( 'Table' ), YEAR ( 'Table'[Date] ) = cur_year - 1 )
VAR last_year_latest_date =
    CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'Table'[Date] ), tmp )
RETURN
    CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'Table'[Price] ), 'Table'[Date] = last_year_latest_date )

Please refer the attached .pbix file

@LayneCobain , You should use  a date table for time intelligence

CALCULATE(lastnonblankvalue('Umsätze Produkt'[Datum], SUM('Umsätze Produkt'[Preis])), PREVIOUSYEAR('DAte'[DAte]))

To get the best of the time intelligence function. Make sure you have a date calendar and it has been marked as the date in model view. Also, join it with the date column of your fact/s. Refer :radacad sqlbi My Video Series Appreciate your Kudos.

Hello amitchandak,

thank you for you help.

I added a date table and tried your code (test 2). The values are okay but in further calculations the results are "endless". I tried a code (test 1) too but it doesn't work either.

I added some more products and categories so simulate the original data model a little more and uploaded the file here.

The "end-result" should be the difference in percentage between the latest price of the previous year to the highest prices per month in the current year per category (materials).

I really don't know how to do it.
