Last Date previous month

KW123 — Thu, 04 Aug 2022 16:15:54 GMT

I have this DAX for a measure

YTD Funded =

CALCULATE([What does YTD total need to be],

LASTDATE ( PREVIOUSMONTH (Dates[Date] )))

I need to calculate the value of the above measure. In my report, the column What does YTD total need to be, as a value. However if I select the YTD funded column into the report, it just shows $0....

Thanks,

Hi daXtreme

From the screen shot, the YTD funded returns a value of $0. For February, it should have a value, let's just say $1000 for example. It is based off the last day of the month value of the previous month (January) of the What does YTD total need to be measure.

I have not been able to find a DAX for this anywhere online. Any help would be appreciated!

So I have created a column which shows me the last day of each month. Now I'm trying to figure out how to use that to get the value from the last day of the previous month with an IF clause that gives a blank for January 2022. (since the previous month will be in 2021 and we do not have the data for it)

Hi @KW123 ,

Do you want to get the values from the beginning of the year to the end of the previous month? If yes, you can create a measure as below:

YTD Funded =
CALCULATE (
    [What does YTD total need to be],
    FILTER (
        ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ),
        'Table'[Date] >= DATE ( YEAR ( TODAY () ), 1, 1 )
            && 'Table'[Date] <= EOMONTH ( TODAY (), -1 )
            && 'Table'[Date] <= SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Date] )
    )
)

In addition, you can refer the following links to get it.

If the above one is not working for you, please provide some sample data(exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with special examples and screenshots. It is better if you can provide me a simplified pbix file. Thank you.
