Current Month and Previous Month Count of Logins

I've got 4 tables:

 

1) COMPANY (Company ID, Company Name, ...)

2) EMPLOYEE (Employee ID, Company ID, Employee Name, ...)

3) LOGINS (Login ID, Employee ID, Login Date, ...)

4) DATES TABLE

 

I want to show the total count of Logins for COMPANY for Current month and previous month to get below:

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

| COMPANY NAME   | CURRENT MONTH  | PREVIOUS MONTH  |
| Company A             | xxx                           |  yyy                          |

| Company B             | aaa                           |  bbb                         |

| ...                             | ...                              |  ...                             |

----------------------------------------------------------------------

 

I am not sure what measures to create. Nothing seems to be working. 

 

Thanks in advance.

You need to have the relationship in star schema and apply below measure:

 

Total Count last Month =
countx(
FILTER(
Login,
MONTH(Login[Date])=MONTH(TODAY())-1
),
Login[LoginID]
)
 
 
Total Count This Month =
countx(
FILTER(
Login,
MONTH(Login[Date])=MONTH(TODAY())
),
Login[LoginID]
)

Seems you need to add filter for year also.

This appears to work IF I have a DATE FILTER for the previous 11 months only. 

 

Otherwise, it appears to be totalling months from previous years. ex: CURRENT MONTH = Aug 2019+Aug2018+...

Brilliant. Thank you.

Just wandering, what happens for LastMonth count in January month ? Need to handle using PREVIOUSMONTH function.

Login[LoginID]

I have the schema like below. I will build now and see how it goes.

It will be great if you can provide the sample data for each table which will save time in creating test data and enables to focus on the logic bit.
