Display several KPI's in the same row with current month & past month values with tendency in a Grid

[JasserBI]

Hello community,

I want to display in a Grid visual something like this:

Please note that are different measures for which I need the current month value (selected in a slicer of the dashboard) and their last month values in another column but in the same row as comparison. 

I know that the way to calculate the last month values can be achieved through DATEADD or PREVIOUSLASTMONTH formulas, but that is not the point. Because once I do that the measures are displayed as new rows as they are different measures from the current month measures.

Thank you very much in advance

@JasserBI , You can use date table and time intelligence to get this month vs last month

example measures 

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]))

Then you can arrow measure(unichar)  and arrow color, You can use arrow as values and use conditional formatting field value option to color the arrow

/////Arrow
Arrow =
var _change =[Mtd Sales]-[Lmtd sales]
return
SWITCH (
TRUE(),
_change > 0, UNICHAR(9650),
_change = 0, UNICHAR(9654),
_change < 0, UNICHAR(9660)
)

/////Arrow Color
Arrow color =
var _change =[Mtd Sales]-[Lmtd sales]
return
SWITCH (
TRUE(),
_change > 0, "green",
_change = 0, "blue",
_change < 0, "red"
)

Hello @amitchandak,

First thank you for your reply. The time intelligence through several KPI is clear. You need more measures for creating the past month values. Ok. Once done that, the issue I am struggling with is to visualize it in the manner I have shown in the topic.

Same rows for the kpi's and their values from current month on one column and the last month on another column with the trend in third column.

Thank you very much in advance

@JasserBI , Use calculation group, that will be best. I have discussed the format in this video

Calculation Groups- Measure Slicer, Measure Header Grouping, Measure to dimension conversion. Complex Table display: https://youtu.be/qMNv67P8Go0
