Hello all,
I have been trying to count how many people have joined in the previous month, but I am not getting a result for every month. I have the values only for the months which end in 31, but I need for all of them.
Does anyone know how it can be fixed ?
Thank you very much

Hi @MadaM
You may try
Prev Month =
VAR PreviousDate =
EOMONTH ( MAX ( 'Monthly Joined'[Date Joined] ), -1 )
RETURN
CALCULATE (
SUM ( 'Monthly Joined'[ContJoined] ),
'Monthly Joined'[Date Joined] = PreviousDate
)

@MadaM , You should always use date table in such cases And visual should also use date from date table on axis
example
Month behind Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Month))

To get the best of the time intelligence function. Make sure you have a date calendar and it has been marked as the date in model view. Also, join it with the date column of your fact/s. Refer :radacad sqlbi My Video Series Appreciate your Kudos.
