Problem with Previousmonth

giuliapiazza94 — Thu, 29 Apr 2021 07:07:58 GMT

Hi guys,

I need the dates of the previous month but using a different date than the current one for example the date of the last reload (5/3/2021)

I try using

Month last reload = CALCULATE(PREVIOUSMONTH('Diagnostica'[Last reload]), MONTH('Diagnostica'[Last reload])-1)

Diagnostica is a table with 1 column and 1 row where is the date of the last reload.

It doesn't work. Can you help me please?

giuliapiazza94 , in case you want to create a table then

table of last month =

calendar(eomonth(today(),-2)+1,eomonth(today(),-1))

if you need to measure use time intelligence with a date table

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]))

I've tried

table of last month =

calendar(eomonth(today(),-2)+1,eomonth(today(),-1))

but doesn't work.

The error is MdxScript(model) (14,28)

do you know why?😥
