Return Top row result

Anonymous — Thu, 18 Nov 2021 17:35:31 GMT

I have a table in fact that I have a calculation of a KPI, in the DAX view I need to return the result of the previous axis as shown in the image below from a dimension table.

Example, 2021 Q3 the KPI2 line returns the result of 2021 Q2

I used a form of rank to find the previous value with reference to rank -1, but I couldn't find any solution.

Anonymous , you need to create a dense rank on period label or order KPI and prefer that to be in separate column along with base column, joined to this table

example

new column

Qtr Rank = RANKX(all('Date'),'Date'[Qtr Start date],,ASC,Dense)

Measure
This Qtr = CALCULATE(sum('Table'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Qtr Rank]=max('Date'[Qtr Rank])))
Last Qtr = CALCULATE(sum('Table'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Qtr Rank]=max('Date'[Qtr Rank])-1))

The approach which we follow on week or custom months

Hi, Anonymous ;

You can use the Label_ period column directly, without the aid of rank. Please try it.

KPI 2 = CALCULATE ( SUM ( [KPI] ), FILTER ( ALL ( 'Table' ), [label_ period] = MAXX ( FILTER ( ALL ( 'Table' ), [label_ period] < MAX ( 'Table'[label_ period] ) ), [label_ period] ) ) )

The final output is shown below:
