Have a Power BI model that contains the following tables:
Sales11 (Sales_ID, DateID, sales_amount)
Date11 (DateID, Date, Month, week, Year)
The tables have a relationship. Date is marked as a date table in the Power BI model.
You need to create a measure to calculate the sales for the last 12 months.
Which DAX formula should you use?
1. CALCULATEx(SUM(sales11[sales_amount]) DATESYTD (‘Date11’ [Date]))
2. CALCULATE(SUM(sales11[sales_amount]), SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR (‘Date11’ [Date]))
3. SUM(sales11[sales_amount])-CALCULATE(SUM(sales11[sales_amount]),SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR(‘Date11’[Date]))
4. SUM(sales11[sales_amount])-CALCULATE(SUM(sales11[sales_amount]),DATESYTD(‘Date11’[Date]))
Which one is correct 3 or 2? and explain why?
At one Place I found 2 is correct and at another place 3 is correct..
Got confused. Please help

I tested this and correct ans is SUM(sales11[sales_amount])-CALCULATE(SUM(sales11[sales_amount]),SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR(‘Date11’[Date]))
I have 3 years of sales data.
2013, 2014, 2015
Total sales= 15000 (sum of 3 years sales)
2013 Sales=4000
2014 Sales=5000
2015 Sales=6000
SUM(sales11[sales_amount]) Returns=15000
and CALCULATE(SUM(sales11[sales_amount]),SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR(‘Date11’[Date])) returns =9000
So
SUM(sales11[sales_amount])-CALCULATE(SUM(sales11[sales_amount]),SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR(‘Date11’[Date]))=15000-9000=6000

Hi @Anonymous
You can use the below
Sales Rolling 12 months = CALCULATE( [Sales], DATESINPERIOD( 'Calendar'[Date], MIN('Calendar'[Date]) -1, -12, MONTH ) )
