I have the following table, where the monthly account scores are broken down by category and customer ID. For each ID and category, I would like to get the previous month's data as a calculated column. I tried creating this as a measure but the matrix totals are not accurate, and I was told that creating this as a calculated column can solve my issue. Any help is appreciated:
Current Table:
| Customer ID | Month | Category | Score |
| 1001 | 01-02-2022 | Security | .98 |
| 1001 | 01-02-2022 | Cost | .84 |
| 1001 | 01-02-2022 | Other | .70 |
| 1001 | 01-03-2022 | Security | .91 |
| 1001 | 01-03-2022 | Cost | .92 |
Desired Table:
| Customer ID | Month | Category | Score | Last Month Score |
| 1001 | 01-02-2022 | Security | .98 | |
| 1001 | 01-02-2022 | Cost | .84 | |
| 1001 | 01-02-2022 | Other | .70 |
|
| 1001 | 01-03-2022 | Security | .91 | .98 |
| 1001 | 01-03-2022 | Cost | .92 | .84 |
I will then be calculating the percent point change in each score.

Hi @byr10112 ,
Please create a column like below:-
Column =
VAR _lastmonth =
IF ( MONTH ( 'Table (4)'[Month] ) = 1, 12, MONTH ( 'Table (4)'[Month] ) - 1 )
VAR _year =
IF (
MONTH ( 'Table (4)'[Month] ) = 1,
YEAR ( 'Table (4)'[Month] ) - 1,
YEAR ( 'Table (4)'[Month] )
)
RETURN
CALCULATE (
MAX ( 'Table (4)'[Score] ),
FILTER (
ALL ( 'Table (4)' ),
'Table (4)'[Customer ID] = EARLIER ( 'Table (4)'[Customer ID] )
&& 'Table (4)'[Category] = EARLIER ( [Category] )
&& MONTH ( 'Table (4)'[Month] ) = _lastmonth
&& YEAR ( 'Table (4)'[Month] ) = _year
)
)
Output:-
