KPI comparison current year vs previous year

[Anonymous]

I have a small problem and I was wandering if anyone could help me. I've looked other threads, but couldn't solve it.

For selected year total sales KPI I created this expression:

Sum({$<OrderDate.autoCalendar={Year}>}Sales)

Now I'm having trouble doing it for the previous year total sales KPI that I want to put next to the first one.

How do I do it?

Thanks in advance.

Try:

Sum({$<OrderDate.autoCalendar.YearsAgo={1}>}Sales)

Thanks Jerry for the answer, but it doesn't work.

Prior Year:

Sum({<Year=,OrderDate={">=$(=YearStart(MakeDate(Max(Year)),-1))<=$(=YearEnd(MakeDate(Max(Year)),-1))"}>}Sales)

Current Year:

Sum({<Year=,OrderDate={">=$(=YearStart(MakeDate(Max(Year))))<=$(=YearEnd(MakeDate(Max(Year))))"}>}Sales)

Thanks again Jerry, but still nothing.

Previous year:

Sum({<[OrderDate.autoCalendar.Year] = {"$(=Max(Year(OrderDate)) - 1)"}>} Sales)

Current year:

Sum({<[OrderDate.autoCalendar.Year] = {"$(=Max(Year(OrderDate)))"}>} Sales)

It will be based on your selection to get what is the lastest(max) possible year, and minor 1 to get its previous year.

I agree with Jerry Jackson on solution: Sum({$<OrderDate.autoCalendar.YearsAgo={1}>}Sales)

Why dont it work?

Hello guys,

I am solving same issue I believe, but I can't find right solution. Can you help me? . This works correctly "Sum(Invoice_item_converted_price)" if I select date Service_generated_datetime.autoCalendar.YearMonth.

I want to show in table also previous year sales for selected YearMonth, but it doesn't work

Sum({<[Service_generated_datetime.autoCalendar.Year] = {"$(=Max(Year(Service_generated_datetime))-1)"}>} Invoice_item_converted_price)
