Hi Guys,
I am a self-taught power bi user so I kind of still have problems when it comes to creating measures and columns.
I attempted to create a calculated column which shows me vs Previous Month data for our product's SoM and I used the following equation:
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Anonymous ,
You could try to use below calculated column to see whether it work or not.
SoM2 = CALCULATE(SUM(Sheet1[Sales]),FILTER(Sheet1, YEAR(Sheet1[MONTH])*100+MONTH(Sheet1[MONTH])= YEAR(EARLIER(Sheet1[MONTH]))*100+MONTH(EARLIER(Sheet1[MONTH]))-1))
I use sheet2 in your sample as dataset. You could refer to my sample for details.

Hi @dax,
I attached the link for the data sample as per your request.

Within the dashboard I created a calculated column for the SoM:
@Anonymous , This seems strange. But anyways, you should prefer to create a date table and join that with you date and use that in previous month
Like
Column = Sheet1[SoM2] - CALCULATE(SUM(Sheet1[SoM2]), PREVIOUSMONTH(Date[Date]))
Also in time intelligence do not .Date , Have a date table in case you have time stamp
Column = Sheet1[SoM2] - CALCULATE(SUM(Sheet1[SoM2]), PREVIOUSMONTH(Sheet1[New Date]))
To get the best of the time intelligence function. Make sure you have a date calendar and it has been marked as the date in model view. Also, join it with the date column of your fact/s. Refer :

Appreciate your Kudos.
Hi @amitchandak ,
Thank you so much for your response.
I tried doing what you suggested but I still keep getting the same error, any idea what could be done?
Thanks again for you help!
@Anonymous ,Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.
