SAME PERIOD LAST YEAR

 It is urgent please help

 

I have data till 1st Aug 2023 in an Excel sheet. The remaining sheet is blank below the 1st AUg.

Slicer Selection:-
31st July 2023 to 1st August 2023

Date SUM Last Year

----- ------ --------

31/7/2022 8
1/08/2022 9

...

31/7/2023 7 8
1/8/2023 3 9

Required output Current_year 10 and last_year 17

But the output of last year is not 17 (more than this) because It is sum of the whole August not only the selected dates.

The remaining dates it is working well only the last date of the data is showing this error.

DAX Query Last_year = CALCULATE([Measure_sum],SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR([date]))
Also Used CALCULATE([Measure_sum],dateadd([date], -1, year))

Both have the same output.

Limiting dates as in your Step 1 could result in wrong calculation of previous years data.

Hi @aysultaniya please check link below:

Focus on part Controlling the visualization in future dates as I understand this could be your part of issue.

After that find your scenario (measure). It could be "Sales PY"  from picture below as you want fair comparision with previous year

I think it may be a bug of Power BI.

 

Step 1: I made a calendar table. [Till 2023/8/2 or Later]

Step 2: I made a relationship.
