How to calculate MOM without Dates?

I have monthly aggregated table and I want to do month over month calcualtions. How can I achieve that?

I have a date table linked to YearMonth but it is not helping.

I have to pull aggregated data on Month level otherwise the data size becomes too big.

 

PS: I have other category columns also so there are multiple rows with same YearMonth.

 

Thanks for helping

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

if you have a date table it is easier using PREVIOUSMONTH function. However, you can do it with this measure:

MOM % = 
VAR _currentMonth = SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[YearMonth])
VAR _previousMonth = CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[YearMonth]), FILTER(ALL('Table'), 'Table'[YearMonth] < _currentMonth))
VAR _previousValue = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Value]), FILTER(ALL('Table'), 'Table'[YearMonth] = _previousMonth))
VAR _currentValue = SUM('Table'[Value])
RETURN
    DIVIDE(_currentValue - _previousValue, _previousValue)

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

You need to have a calendar Table.

Sales Amount = SUMX ( Sales, Sales[Quantity] * Sales[Net Price] )
 
Sales LM =  CALCULATE([Sales Amount],DATEADD('Date'[Date],-1,MONTH))
 
MOM Growth = DIVIDE(Sales[Sales LM],Sales[Sales Amount])
