How to get previous quarter data divided by month

Hi everyone,

 

im trying to calculate measure (a distinct count) of the last available quarter of a table minus one.

 

I've reached the result using this formula

 

Total sales_last quarter =
CALCULATE (
    DISTINCTCOUNT ( myMeasure ),
    FILTER (
        ALLSELECTED ( VW_MyTable ),
        VW_MyTable[Quarter] = MAX (VW_MyTable[Quarter] ) - 1
        && YEAR(VW_MyTable[DataSales]) = YEAR(MAX(VW_MyTable[DataSales]))
    )
)
 
and this is the result:

however if i put the measure together with the month dimension i get the same result (207) over the last quarter

while i'm expeting 48(july) 73(august) and 76 (sept).

The last available date of the table is october2022 (q4 2022)

 

how can i achieve the result splitted by the last 3 months?

Hi, i didnt understand your answer...
let me explain the situation.

Let us suppose that i have data for q4 of 2022 and im in q1 of 2023.
I would like to show only data of 2022 q4 divided by relative months (oct- Nov -Dec)
I need show the data table without any filter applied to the grapf (included date filter)

Thank you very much in advance.

@AresB , if you have a date use time intelligence

 

QTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESQTD(('Date'[Date])))
Last QTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESQTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,QUARTER)))


Qtr Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESQTD(ENDOFQUARTER('Date'[Date])))

Last QUARTER Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESQTD( ENDOFQUARTER(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,QUARTER))))
Last QUARTER Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),PREVIOUSQUARTER(('Date'[Date])))
