Problems in measure previous period revenue

[Anonymous]

Good Morning,

 
I have two problems with this measure of income from the previous period, belo

% CRESCIMENTO Receitas = 

VAR
ReceitasLY = CALCULATE([RECEITAS];SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('dCalendário'[Data Base]))
return
if([RECEITAS]=BLANK();BLANK();DIVIDE([RECEITAS]-ReceitasLY;ReceitasLY))

1 - The measure is not returning the correct percentage. My current period is Jan to Dec / 2017 and you are not calculating from Jan to Dec / 2016. He's adding up the two years on the table. Totally wrong.

2 - When I select any filter in the same table the measure informs that there is no continuous table of dates. I have the calendar table related to fact table.

Generally the way that I have seen this done is with measures like this:

YTD Revenue = TOTALYTD(SUM(Sales[Revenue]),'Date'[Date])

LY YTD Revenue = CALCULATE([YTD Revenue],SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('Date'[Date]))

YTD Sales Var = [YTD Revenue]-[LY YTD Revenue]

YTD Sales Var % = DIVIDE([YTD Sales Var],[LY YTD Revenue])

Thanks for your suggestions, they are correct, but I need the card to return the calculation from Jan to Oct / 16 from Jan to Oct / 17. In the case would be the percentage of 13.37% (difference until October of each year)

Hi @Anonymous,

How to get the 13.37? From your screenshot, the total value is -6.30% and the card display the same value, which is correct.
