Hello is this possible to do in power Bi.
I have the sum of sales per seller in a month from July 2023 to July 2024.
What I want in my matrix table is the sum of Sales per Month and also show the Average sales from July 2023 to June 2024 Just like what I did in Excel
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @jercks00
Presuming that you have a calendar table in your model, this measure will show you the last 12 months, you can adapt it to other months too.
Sales R3M =
VAR NumOfMonths = 12
VAR LastCurrentDate =
MAX ( 'Calendar'[Date] )
VAR Period =
DATESINPERIOD ( 'Calendar'[Date], LastCurrentDate, - NumOfMonths, MONTH )
VAR Result =
CALCULATE (
AVERAGEX (
VALUES ( 'Calendar'[Date] ),
[Total Sales]
),
Period
)
VAR FirstDateInPeriod = MINX ( Period, 'Calendar'[Date] )
VAR LastDateWithSales = MAX ( Sales[Order Date] ) ///Enter the date that you want to calculate on
RETURN
IF ( FirstDateInPeriod <= LastDateWithSales, Result )
Hope this helps

Hi @jercks00
Thank you very much Joe_Barry for your prompt reply.
Tables in power BI are presented differently than excel, and you can't present them like excel.
Here I will offer some other ideas to help you solve the problem.
You need a data table, and a copy table. And establish a relationship between the two tables.
Here's some dummy data
“Table”
“copy Table”
pivot the Month and amount columns in the copy table in the power query.
Create a relationship between two tables in the Power BI Desktop.
Create measures.
Total =
CALCULATE(
SUM('Table'[Amount]),
FILTER(
ALL('Table'),
'Table'[Name] = MAX('Table'[Name])
)
)
Average =
CALCULATE(
AVERAGE('Table'[Amount]),
FILTER(
ALL('Table'),
'Table'[Name] = MAX('Table'[Name])
)
)
Create a table visual. And here is the result.
