Hi @v-danhe-msft. The issue was that the year column I was using wasn't formatted properly for date. Once I did that everything worked without having to use your solution above.

Hi @Jodes,

Based on my test, you can refer to below steps:

1.Create a new table and add a continuous schedule table.

2.

2.Create a new measure to calculate the year over year percentage calculation.

Start YOY% 3 = var _PREV_year =

CALCULATE(

    SUM('All Data'[Starts]),DATEADD('Table'[Date],-1,YEAR))

    return

DIVIDE(SUM('All Data'[Starts])-_PREV_year,_PREV_year)

3.Create a Table visual and add the [Date], [Starts] and [Start YOY%3] field and you can see the result.

You can also download the PBIX file to have a view.
