YoY Calculation for non cumulative data

Hi,

 

First time poster so apologies if this is in the wrong place.

 

I have annual data which is defined at source as academic years (15/16, 16/17 etc) and Ive added a lookup to convert these to dates i.e 31 December year ends. I've created a simple date table and would like to be able to look at the movements (actual/%) between years for individual institutions. 

 

Ive added the measures below, which do work, but the Total provider income is always the cumulative total for all years. If i set a filter for one of the years (i.e 2020), i get the correct Total provider income, but then the PY data/diff is blank as I assume it is only looking at data under the filter set. 

 

I'm likely missing something quite straightforward here so was hoping to get some advice? I just want to be able to compare/look at trends between individual years (periods) and not cumulatively.

 

Measures:

 

Total Provider Income = sum('Merged P&L fee reduction'[Total income])
Total Provider Income PY = CALCULATE([Total Provider Income], DATEADD(DateTable[FullDateAlternateKey],-1,YEAR))
Total Provider Income DIff PY = [Total Provider Income]-[Total Provider Income PY]
Total Provider Income Diff PY % = DIVIDE([Total Provider Income],[Total Provider Income PY],BLANK())-1

-You needed to create the relationship in the model between Year Lookup table and DateTable.

Hi,

 

Ive simplified and added a sample file pbix below. As mentioned, Id like to be able to include YoY comparisons looking at standalone historical periods and not cumulative totals.

 

Many thanks in advance.

Thank you @Kumail, thats great.

 

Just so I understand going forwards, and so i can replicate this for other measures, was the issue simply the reference being used for the 'Year', rather than any issues with the measures or the dateTable itself?

Hello @tashaq 

 

If you could send sample .pbix that demonstrate what you are looking to get. It would really help providing you a quick solution.

 

You can send the sample .pbix file by adding it to your drive or dropbox and add the link here.

@tashaq , Need sample data. But I think My blog on similar topic can help

Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.
