Anonymous , You can use measure that can give this month vs last month data

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]))

or trailing 1 month meausre

Month behind Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Month))

MTD =
var _max = if(isfiltered('Date'),MAX( 'Date'[Date]) , today())
var _min = eomonth(_max,-1)+1 ,
return
CALCULATE([net] ,DATESBETWEEN('Date'[Date],_min,_max))

This Month =
var _max = eomonth(if(isfiltered('Date'),MAX( 'Date'[Date]) , today()),0)
var _min = eomonth(_max,-1)+1 ,
return
CALCULATE([net] ,DATESBETWEEN('Date'[Date],_min,_max))

LMTD =
var _max1 = if(isfiltered('Date'),MAX( 'Date'[Date]) , today())
var _max = date(Year(_max1), month(_max1)-1, day(_max))
var _min = eomonth(_max1,-2)+1
return
CALCULATE([net] ,DATESBETWEEN('Date'[Date],_min,_max))

Last Month =
var _max1 = if(isfiltered('Date'),MAX( 'Date'[Date]) , today())
var _max = eomonth(_max1,-1)
var _min = eomonth(_max1,-2)+1
return
CALCULATE([net] ,DATESBETWEEN('Date'[Date],_min,_max))

To get the best of the time intelligence function. Make sure you have a date calendar and it has been marked as the date in model view. Also, join it with the date column of your fact/s. Refer :radacad sqlbi My Video Series Appreciate your Kudos.

Hi Anonymous ,

You can follow the below steps:

1.Add a new column in the table

Cur_Minus_PreviousLandRate = VAR cur_landrate = 'Table'[LandRate] VAR cur_month = 'Table'[Month] VAR previous_month = cur_month - 1 VAR previous_lanrate = CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'Table'[LandRate] ), FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[Month] = previous_month ) ) RETURN cur_landrate - previous_lanrate

2.Create a measure to calculate the average about the new added column

Avg_Diff_LandRate = AVERAGE ( 'Table'[Cur_Minus_PreviousLandRate] )
