    Hi,

    pls see below:

    PrevAmount = 
VAR _selDate = SELECTEDVALUE(DimDate[Date])
VAR _maxDate = CALCULATE(LASTNONBLANK(DimDate[Date], CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Amount1]))), FILTER(ALLSELECTED(DimDate), [Date] < _selDate))
RETURN
IF(NOT(ISBLANK(SUM('Table'[Amount1]))),
CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Amount1]), FILTER(ALLSELECTED(DimDate),DimDate[Date] = _maxDate)), BLANK())

    Kind regards, Steve.

TheHans , Try a measure like

 

calculate(sum(Table[Amount1]), filter(allselected(Table), Table[Date] =calculate(max(Table[Date]),filter(allselected(table), [Date] <max([Date])))))

Hi Amit,

thanks for the quick reply. I get as a result 24 for every row.

 

Is there a way to add new columns as in my example "Prev. Amount1" and "Prev. Amount1" which is calculated out of the existing data in the table?

 

Basically the result of this should look like in the sample table above.
