Capture monthly data into another table automatically

Hello,

I have a data/report that I want to present monthly, the data will change frequently and if you view the October information in November it will not be the same as when viewing it in October.

I don't know if there is any feature or way that can automatically record the results/data into another table every month so that the month by month data can be fixed for comparison with current data.

 

Thanks you.

Hi @ngongocnam ,

 

As far as I know, Power BI is a "read only" system so it doesn't have the ability to store previous data beyond a refresh. 

 

You can try to keep the previous data and new data in your data source at the same time, then have Power BI read in the source data and the snapshot, then do the comparison.

 

Best Regards,
