Value 12 Months Ago
Hi,
I need to get a spot value of a measure from 12 months ago, but this needs to be a dynamic calculation.
I don't need the rolling/last 12 months cumulative figure, just spot value of the measure from 12 months ago.
I have a conventional date table in my model and am struggling with the DAX.
Any advice appreciated, thank you.
Thanks all I managed to resolve my using month offsets 🙂

Hi DW868990 ,
12 Months Ago = CALCULATE( [Measure to Calculate], DATEADD( 'Calendar'[Date], -1, YEAR ) )You could try this, but need to replace the [Measure to Calculate] with whatever calculation you're trying to perform - it could be an existing measure or it could be a SUM / AVERAGE over a fact table column.

Thanks but this returns 12 data points, of the last 12 months, and i am looking for only 1 data point, but 12 months ago.

How are you trying to present the data? Is it one data point in a card visual? A matrix of dates with their value from 12 months ago? Or a line chart in which you want to show for each date what the data point was from 12 months prior?

Hi DW868990
Can you provide your sample and expected result through a pbix file(remove sensitive info) or a screenshot ?
