Calculating Month to Month Change.
- 8 years ago
Hi sarfkermali,
Based on data you have provided, it's impossible to calculate change between current month and previous month. If you want to calculate change between current month and two month agos, modify DAX as below:
Change By Month = VAR Previous_Date_Condition = EOMONTH (MAX(Table1[date]), -3 ) + 1 VAR Current_Month = CALCULATE ( SUM ( Table1[# people] ), ALLEXCEPT ( Table1, Table1[Location], Table1[Type] ) ) VAR Previous_Month = CALCULATE ( SUM ( Table1[# people] ), FILTER(ALLEXCEPT ( Table1, Table1[Location], Table1[Type] ), Table1[date] = Previous_Date_Condition) ) RETURN ( Current_Month - Previous_Month ) / Previous_MonthPBIX here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/t1zlz7ijxkwhem1/Calculating%20Month%20to%20Month%20Change..pbix?dl=0

I would like to calculate the % change of #people form month to month with regards to the type and location.
Also, i tried some of the month to month solutions posted on the forum but i got an error in DAX: "A table of multiple values was supplied where a single value was expected".
I would really appreciate if you could use your expertise and show me how to do this.
