If you are creating scheduled reports in DAX it might be handy to add some VBA to calculate time periods automatically.

Here is an example that returns yesterday

EVALUATE
FILTER (
SUMMARIZE (
'Date',
'Date'[Date],
"Sales", 'Internet Sales'[Internet Total Sales]
),
	FORMAT('Date'[Date], "yyyy-MM-dd") = FORMAT(NOW() - 1, "yyyy-MM-dd")
)

If you want to test a valid date in the sample database you can figure out how many days you have to remove by running this SQL “select DATEDIFF(day, getdate(), ‘2006/05/18’)”. And then subtract this number instead of “NOW() – 1”.

And if you want to have a similar query for year this can look like this

EVALUATE
FILTER (
SUMMARIZE (
'Date',
'Date'[Calendar Year],
"Sales", 'Internet Sales'[Internet Total Sales]
),
	'Date'[Calendar Year] = INT(FORMAT(NOW() - 1, "yyyy"))
)
