Dates and time-lag
Hello!
I need some help with PowerBI and the dates.
I have three tables:
- Calendar Table
- Transaction data business A
- Transaction data business B
For business B, I need to have a time lag of 6 months. In other words, the dates in business B will have to be the date -6 months.
The problem is that because I have the calendar table, the dates when slicing or filtering are the dates without the time lag.
I hope it's clear. Is there a way to fix this so the visualization shows the actual data of business A comparing it with business B 6 months ago?
Thanks!

But if I want to then plot both in the same chart to compare them will it use the date of 6 months ahead? While of course, keeping the original dates as conections with the date table
