Hi ingpiolo 

 

To get the previous months data try this 

Previous Month = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Valore]), DATEADD('Table'[Date], -1, MONTH))

 

I would think then that you should create a new measure 

[Previous Month] + [YourMeasure]

 

 

 

Thanks

Joe

    Thanks Joe for the reply.
    The problem is that I have empty cells and therefore with the measure
    Previous Month = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Value]), DATEADD('Table'[Date], -1, MONTH))

    I get correctly only the next first value referring to 01/07/2023.
    Subsequent ones should resume the value at 01/07/2023 which is saved as a measure. This is the result I would like to get

      Hi ingpiolo ,

      I created a sample pbix file(see the attachment), please find the details in it.

      Result = 
VAR _seldate =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Date] )
VAR _maxdate =
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( 'Table'[Date] ),
        FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ), [Sum of value] > 0 )
    )
VAR _value =
    SUMX (
        FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[Date] = _maxdate ),
        [Sum of value]
    )
VAR _measures =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Table'[Measure] ),
        FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[Date] <= _seldate )
    )
RETURN
    IF (
        ISBLANK ( SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Measure] ) ),
        BLANK (),
        _value + _measures
    )

      Best Regards
