Count Date Rows in Last Month

Hi All,

 

I have a column called 'Dates' this column shows various dates. 

 

Please can you show me the DAX to count the number of rows with dates in the last month?

 

Many thanks,

 

E

Hi Tim,

 

The formula is shown below;

 

Erected in Past Month = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('Standing Scaffold Data'[ErCompleteDate]), PREVIOUSMONTH('Standing Scaffold Data'[ErCompleteDate]) )
 
Sample Data:
 
ErCompleteDate
01/01/2020
01/01/2021
01/02/2021
07/09/2019
etc
 
Regards,

Try use this measure, you can use today's month and then -1.

Erected in Past Month = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('Table'[Date]),MONTH('Table'[Date])=MONTH(TODAY())-1)

Hi Serdet,

You can use this: 

CountDaysLastMonth = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(DimDate[Date]), PREVIOUSMONTH(DimDate[Date]))

best regards,

Tim

Hi Tim

 

I have tried your measure and have received 'blank' in my card visual. I am using the measure by replacing dimdate[date] with my date column. Is this the correct approach?

 

Thanks

Hi Serdet,

Yes that's correct. Could you perhaps share your formula and a sample of your date table data?

regards,

Tim
