PLZ HLP!!!! Creating calculation for Comparing Same Date This Year versus Last Year

I am trying to do Time Series calculations (whatever that really means) for Same Date compared to Same Date Last Year. If you can kindly help me from  losing more hair I would kindly appreciate your generosity!  

 

Here are the formulas I am using 

 
  • Collections LY by trend date = CALCULATE([Collections Total],SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR(('Calendar'[Date]))) - This is still showing dates until end of year.  I only want it to show data up until this years date last year.  
  • Collections TY by trend date = CALCULATE([Collections Total], FILTER('Calendar', 'Calendar'[Date] < TODAY()))

@TheSweeper , In the case of the calculation group using tabular editor

 

CALCULATE(selectedmeasure(), FILTER('Calendar', 'Calendar'[Date] < TODAY()))

 

 

Last year

CALCULATE(selectedmeasure(), sameperiodlastyear('Calendar'[Date]), FILTER('Calendar', 'Calendar'[Date] < date(year(TODAY())-1 ,month(Today()) , day(today()))))

 

or

 

CALCULATE(selectedmeasure(), dateadd('Calendar'[Date],-1, year), 'Calendar'[Date] < date(year(TODAY())-1 ,month(Today()) , day(today())) )

Hi  @TheSweeper ,

I created some data:

vyangliumsft_0-1637896327091.png

Here are the steps you can follow:

1. Create a calendar table.

Slice = CALENDARAUTO()

vyangliumsft_1-1637896327092.png

2. Create measure.

Collections LY by trend date =
CALCULATE(SUM('Calendar'[Collections Total]),
FILTER(ALL('Calendar'),'Calendar'[Date]=DATE(YEAR(MAX('Calendar'[Date]))-1,MONTH(MAX('Calendar'[Date])),DAY(MAX('Calendar'[Date])))))
Flag =
IF(MAX('Calendar'[Date])>=MIN('Slice'[Date])&&MAX('Calendar'[Date])<=MAX('Slice'[Date]),1,0)

3. Place Measure[Flag] in the filter, select is=1, and apply filter.

4. Result:

Hi,

Does this measure work?

Collections LY by trend date = if(min('Calendar'[Date])<=TODAY(),CALCULATE([Collections Total],SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('Calendar'[Date])),blank())
