I need to calculate the Last 3 Months of Production using Dax. I feel like the code below should be correct, but is missing something simple. Can I use the word month, when using FiscalMonth Sales? Are there any other metrics needed? I also have access to a Calendar Table which could work.
I attempted a solution but am getting a syntax error.
3 month = CALCULATE( SUM(FactProductionTransactionDetail[Quantity]), DATESINPERIOD(DimDate[FiscalMonthNumber],DimDate[FiscalMonthNumber] = "201912",-3,month))
I attempted a new solution using Calendarmonth instead of FiscalMonth, but got the same result. The other thing I forgot to mention is that I want it to calculate using the selected period instead of an entered period. For instance, instead of typing "6" below, I want it to calculate previous 3 months sales based on a filter or a month column if the view is in a table.
3 month = CALCULATE( SUM(FactProductionTransactionDetail[Quantity]), DATESINPERIOD(DimDate[CalendarMonthNumber],DimDate[CalendarMonthNumber] = "6",-3,month))
@Anonymous ,
Please modify the measure using dax below and check if it can meet your requirement:
3 month = CALCULATE ( SUM ( FactProductionTransactionDetail[Quantity] ), DATESINPERIOD ( DimDate[CalendarMonthNumber], DimDate[CalendarMonthNumber] = SELECTEDVALUE ( Table[Selection] ), -3, MONTH ) )

Can you use SELECTEDVALUE in an Analysis Services connection?
