Hi dkozak 

Assume "euro value" in my test file refers to value in euro per local currency unit.

So we could consider "euro value" as Exchange rate.

 

1.create two columns

connected_cl1 = [date]&[local currency]
# in rate table
connected_cl2 = [date]&[country]
#in sales table

2. create relationship between "sales table" and "rate table"

 

3. to get total sales in euro currency per month in a year

add [year],[month] from "calendar" table into the matrix "row" field,

create a measure and add it into "value" field of the matrix.

euro sales = MAX(sales[sales value])*MAX('rate table'[euro value])

 

Best Regards
Maggie

      Hello v-juanli-msft ,

      Link: https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ajh-Pr8pM0w_bG6WApK-LFWvwTU?e=F0I0Py

      after lot and lot of try and Just to remind the problem: the problem is that we can't work with totalYTD and TotalYTD(previousmonth()) inside a Sumx(table, expression)

      using the files in the drive(Sales file, Currency rates exhange file) my manager need the Sales reports in euro currency and using this formula of exchanging ( Sales Euro Month=  divide(total sales YTD Month; Currency Exchange Rate Month) - divide(total sales YTD Month-1; Currency Exchange Rate Month-1)

      Example: Sales Euro February =  divide(total sales YTD February; Currency Exchange Rate February) - divide(total sales YTD January; Currency Exchange Rate January).

      let me know if you need any more information

      Thanks in advance
