Hi @Anonymous 

take a look at the following solution:

 

05-10-_2020_16-01-25.png

 

Sum of Sales = SUM('Table'[Sales])


Running Total = 
CALCULATE(
    [Sum of Sales],
    FILTER(
        ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[Year]),
        'Table'[Date] <= MAX('Table'[Date])
    )
)

 

With kind regards from the town where the legend of the 'Pied Piper of Hamelin' is at home

@Anonymous , id every month logic is changing if need rolling you can do that with date table

2/3

 

Rolling 3 = CALCULATE(sum(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESINPERIOD('Date'[Date],ENDOFMONTH(Sales[Sales Date]),-3,MONTH))
Rolling 3 = CALCULATE(sum(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESINPERIOD('Date'[Date ],MAX(Sales[Sales Date]),-3,MONTH))
Rolling 3 = CALCULATE(sum(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESINPERIOD('Date'[Date ],MAX('Date'[Date ]),-3,MONTH))

 

Rolling 3 till last 1 month = CALCULATE(sum(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESINPERIOD('Date'[Date],Startofmonth(dateadd(Sales[Sales Date],-1,month)),3,MONTH))

 

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 :

Amit, I am using the same logic to create 6 months rolling sums. But for YTD I am failing, I am wondering is there a way to create the same maybe as a calculated column?
