Calculating differences (previous month)
Hi,
I have to calculate the change in KPI vs Last month. When I use perviousmonth or DATEADD DAX I get correct result when I have months in the table. However, when I remove the months and want to see the change for the current month only (that is for Jan'21 vs Dec'20), I see the difference between 2020 total and Jan'21 result.
How do I fix that?
I just want to see the results for Jan'21 and see the change vs Dec'20 not vs the whole of 2020.
You can create measures like this:
Previous month = CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table'[Value] ), DATESBETWEEN ( 'Table'[Date], EDATE ( TODAY (), -1 ), TODAY () ) )Attached to a sample file in the following, you hope it could help.

Anonymous , there can be few reason time intelligence can fails
The date table is not marked as the date table. Date in fact has a timestamp
refer this video : https://youtu.be/OBf0rjpp5Hw
and then try measure like
MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD('Date'[Date]))
last MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,MONTH)))
last month Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),previousmonth('Date'[Date]))You can create measures like this:
Previous month = CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table'[Value] ), DATESBETWEEN ( 'Table'[Date], EDATE ( TODAY (), -1 ), TODAY () ) )Attached to a sample file in the following, you hope it could help.
