DAX HELP

[pmadam]

I want to create Previous month sales measure. so i created Latest month and previous month measures.

But when i create final measure to calculate sales for Previous month i get blank values

Below are the measures

LATESTMONTH = CALCULATE(MAX('Time'[Month Num]),'Time'[CurrMonthFlag] = "Y")

ans)8

Previous Month = latestmonth -1 

ans)7

PM Ship Order Count =

CALCULATE([Ship Order Count],FILTER('Time', 'Time'[Month Num] = [PreviousMonth]))

Please help.

Hi @pmadam ,

Would you please change your two measure to:

LATESTMONTH = CALCULATE(MAX('Time'[Month Num]),ALL('Time'),'Time'[CurrMonthFlag] = "Y")
PM Ship Order Count =
CALCULATE([Ship Order Count],FILTER(ALL('Time'), 'Time'[Month Num] = [PreviousMonth]))

@pmadam Not really enough information to go on, please first check if your issue is a common issue listed here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/Before-You-Post-Read-This/ba-p/1116882

The most important parts are:
1. Sample data as text, use the table tool in the editing bar
2. Expected output from sample data
3. Explanation in words of how to get from 1. to 2.

@pmadam , You can use time intelligence with a date calendar

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 value =  CALCULATE(sum('table'[total hours value]),previousmonth('Date'[Date]))
last MTD (complete) Sales =  CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD(ENDOFMONTH(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,MONTH))))
last year MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-12,MONTH)))
last year MTD (complete) Sales =  CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD(ENDOFMONTH(dateadd('Date'[Date],-12,MONTH))))
Month behind Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Month))
Year behind Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year))
Next month value =  CALCULATE(sum('table'[total hours value]),nextmonth('Date'[Date]))
	


diff = [MTD Sales]-[last MTD Sales]
diff % = divide([MTD Sales]-[last MTD Sales],[last MTD Sales])

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 :
