SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR SHOWING CURRENT YEAR

[IAmCare]

Hello and Thank You.

I am trying to do show data in the same period last fiscal year.

My fact table date is a DATE and My dim table date is a DATE. and the two table are tied to each other with the date column.

This is what I wrote.

R_Last = CALCULATE([R_Current],SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('Edw DimDate (2)'[Date])) when i use this i get the correct data but I con not use slicers with it.  This is the error message I get when I try to use a slicer.

If I use this

R_Last = CALCULATE([R_Current],SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('Edw DimDate (2)'[Date].[date])) the data shows the current year data which is incorrect because I am looking for last fiscal years data

Any help will be much appreciated.

few questions first:
1) when selecting time, you filter it using fields from 'Edw DimDate (2)'?
2) does [R_Current] have any time intelligence in it? that would tie the filter to a fixed year?
3) the join between the tables is 1 to many, and in one direction?
