Hey Anonymous ,

 

I downloaded the file and don't see anything you showed on the first post in the file.

Can you explain again what you are trying to do, what is the result and what you expect as a result?

 

Maybe prepare the file, that I only have to open it and see your case.

 

Best regards

Denis

    Hi selimovd,

     

    Sorry I might have renamed those measures which makes them difficult for you to understand !

    Below measure #1 is what returns the sales quantity in current month and measure #2 is what I expect to return sales quantity of same period last month and change in percentage. 

     

    Measure #1
    MTD PREMIUM Sales Installed =     CALCULATE([PREMIUM Sales],
    DATESBETWEEN('Sales Report'[Installation Date],
    DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY()),01),TODAY()
    )
    )

     

    Measure #2
    MTD PREMIUM Sales SPLM =
    VAR SPLM = CALCULATE([MTD PREMIUM Sales Installed],PARALLELPERIOD('Calendar'[Date],-1,MONTH))
    RETURN
    DIVIDE([MTD PREMIUM Sales Installed]-SPLM,SPLM)
     

    TIA
