PREVIOUSMONTH doesn´t work...

Hi everyone.

 

I have a tiny but mess problem with

 

I have a tiny but mess problem with this simple measure: I got two tables, one with monthly costs of a budget

 

and a table data.

 

 


I only want to make an easy measure in order to obtain the costs of the previous month:

PREVIOUS MONTH 2021 = CALCULATE((CALCULATE(SUM('Matriz'[Total]), Matriz[Year]="2021", Matriz[Origen]="Cuenta de resultados")), PREVIOUSMONTH(Calendario[Date]))

 

 

It actually is not working so far.

 

Can you help me with it?

 

 

 

Thanks in advance.

 

 

Best

    ÒScar , You should not add filters for year and month. In case you need a filter use a slicer from date table 

     

    Assuming year filter related to date of date table

     

    PREVIOUS MONTH 2021 = CALCULATE(SUM('Matriz'[Total]), filter(Matriz, Matriz[Origen]="Cuenta de resultados"), PREVIOUSMONTH(Calendario[Date]))

      Hi amitchandak ,

       

      first of all, thank you so much for your quick response.

       

      I share with you a screenshot of my dashboard once I have followed your advice, I´m afraid it still doesn´t work...

      Could you take a look on it, please?

       

      Thank you once again, amitchandak ,
