manojk_pbiHello mdaatifraza5556 , thanks lot for your quick reply and the solution. Great !!.
I have one question, do we need to have separate Date table why cann't we use the date from the same table ?

Hi manojk_pbi
It will also work, but it is a best practice to create a separate Date table.
In some cases, especially when using time intelligence functions it works more reliably and ensures proper results.If this answers your questions, kindly accept it as a solution and give kudos.

How can we modify the KPI Comparison, not to show anything in comparison and no arrows when prev is not present.

Hi manojk_pbi
Create measure using below dax.KPI_Comparison_1 =IF (NOT ISBLANK ( [KPI_PrevMonth] ),[KPI_CurrMonth] - [KPI_PrevMonth])Case1. when PreMth value is there
Case 2. If PrevMth values is not there

Hello mdaatifraza5556
I tried the sample provided by you but is not working in the main application. Then i realised there is a composite key "PRJ | MONTHYEAR" in the table. I am not getting the values now in the same row instead it is throwing in the another row.
This column is used to connect other tables to filter data based on project along with the rpeorting period.
Your advise is much appreciated.
