Old Data :
 
        Month                   Period                                        closevalue 
          Oct               01 November 2019                                10 
          Nov              15 November 2019                                 5           
          Dec               01 December  2019                                7
          Dec               15 December  2019                               17
          Jan               01 Januray     2020                                  27
           Jan            15 Januray     2020                                    17
 
 i have like this upto 2021 last taking percentage calcualtion last weeks but now changed like below 
 
 
    Month                   Period                                        closevalue 
   November          01 November 2019                             10 
    November         01 November 2019                              5           
   December          01 December  2019                              7
   December          15 December  2019                             17
  January                01 Januray  2020                                27
   January              15 Januray   2020                                 17
 
 
instead of previous  last weeks  i want to change to previous Month to define how update it at  mid month 
 
Previous 2 Weeks =
VAR LastMAXDate = MAX ( Data[Period] )
VAR currentValue =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( Data[Revised closing value] ),
Data[Period] = LastMAXDate
)
Return DIVIDE((currentValue-[LastweekValue]),[LastweekValue])

 

 

 

Measure 2 :

LastweekValue =
VAR maxdate =
CALCULATE ( MAX ( Data[Period] ), ALLSELECTED ( Data ) )
var seconddate =
CALCULATE (
MAX (Data[Period] ),
FILTER ( ALL ( Data ), Data[Period] < maxdate )
)

return
CALCULATE (
SUM ( Data[Revised closing value] ),
Data[Period] = seconddate
)
 
any idea .where to change in my measure ? thanks in advance

@Anonymous , Why don't you use time intelligence for this, with help from Date table. Is it not working ?

 

example

 

MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM ( Data[Revised closing value] ),DATESMTD('Date'[Date]))
last MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM ( Data[Revised closing value] ),DATESMTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,MONTH)))

 

or

previous month value = CALCULATE(SUM ( Data[Revised closing value] ),previousmonth('Date'[Date]))

 

 

refer if needed
