Current Periods Top 5 compare with last period

[2366]

Hi All,

I was wondering if/how we can calculate top 3 customers based on sales for the selected period (slicer) and show what their previous months sales was in the same visual?

Thank you

@2366 , Assume you two measure current period and last period

MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD('Date'[Date]))
last MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,MONTH)))

then have top N measure like

CALCULATE( [MTD Sales] ,TOPN(3,allselected('Customer'[Customer]),[MTD Sales],DESC),values('Customer'[Customer]))

Last month based on current month top N
CALCULATE( [last MTD Sales] ,TOPN(3,allselected('Customer'[Customer]), [MTD Sales] ,DESC),values('Customer'[Customer]))

For TOPN- https://youtu.be/QIVEFp-QiOk

Thanks a lot!

I have got it to work for MTD and Last Month MTD in a calculation group. 
Is there a way we can put the TopN part in a conditional switch statement/ variable to handle different measures / table? 
Thanks
