Hey guys,
I am struggling to do the following task.
I have 3 columns involving dates:
-one with the year
-one with the month
- one with the first day of the month (e.g January.1.2022)
I calculated the sales for each month and now i want to display the growth of the sales in a table.
Therefore, i need to calculate the sales for each month of the previous year.
This would be quite easy if i could use the previousyear or the sameperiodlastyear function.
However, i can not use these function as i do not have contiguous dates.
What i tried so far is creating a column with both year and month (year*100 + month) with the dax:
Calculate([Total Sales], Date[year*100+ month) -100). Sadly, this does not work.
I would be really glad if someone could offer help
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @schaetzles ,
You can try this method:
Measures:
Total2021 = CALCULATE([Total Sales], FILTER('Date', 'Date'[Year] = YEAR(TODAY()) - 1))
Total2022 = CALCULATE([Total Sales], FILTER('Date', 'Date'[Year] = YEAR(TODAY())))
Total Sales = SUM('Date'[Sales])
Diff = [Total2022] - [Total2021]
Hope this helps you. Here is my PBIX file.

@schaetzles , You can create date like
Date = Date([Year], [Month],1)
in case month is text
Date = datevalue("01-" &[Month] & "-" & [Year])
Not you can join with a date table and use time intellignece
Also in other case, you need a separate year, month table joined with you table on year month key
With date and date table
This month = CALCULATE([Net],DATESMTD(ENDOFMONTH('Date'[Date])))
MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD('Date'[Date]))
last year MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-12,MONTH)))
Previous year Month Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),previousmonth(dateadd('Date'[Date],-11,MONTH)))
last year MTD (complete) Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD(ENDOFMONTH(dateadd('Date'[Date],-12,MONTH))))
Month behind Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Month))
Year behind Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year))
With Years and month table(say date)
This Month = CALCULATE(sum('Table'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Year]=max('Date'[Year]) && Date[Month]=max(Date[Month])))
Last year same Period = CALCULATE(sum('Table'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Year]=max('Date'[Year])-1 && Date[Month]=max(Period[Month])))
