Hi Folks,
I need help to create a DAX Measures for Prior Month's value to display in Tables & Funnels and Cards visuals.
I tried with 2 measures without success.
Prior Month 1 = CALCULATE(SUM(Table1[Opportunity Value]),PREVIOUSMONTH(Table1[Snapshot Date])
The above Prior Month's visuals are displayed with a separate Snapshot Date slicer for illustration. In actual presentation, only require 1 Snapshot Date slicer.
Hi @amitchandak - thank you for responding to my post. I tried the "last month sales" DAX without success.
Using your recommendation, the DAX is as follow
@PowerNooby , when you use PREVIOUSMONTH , it takes the min date from the context. So if there is filter context min date in the filter. Or Min date from ROW.
If there is no date then it will take Min date from Date table.
Now is there a previous month data based row, filter or tables min date ?
Refer if needed
Why previousmonth does not give result when datesmtd is giving it: https://youtu.be/1KkoJehRVeg
@PowerNooby , Create a date table and join it with the snapshot date
example
MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD('Date'[Date]))
last MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,MONTH)))
last month Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),previousmonth('Date'[Date]))
MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD('Date'[Date]))
last MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,MONTH)))
last month Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),previousmonth('Date'[Date]))
next month Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),nextmonth('Date'[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 :radacad sqlbi My Video Series Appreciate your Kudos.
