Resolver IIIDynamic Month Numbering based on different start date for each product
Hi All,
We are trying to compare sales on Product across Months in the same chart.
Is it possible to do this dynamically in Power BI based on what products are selected in a slicer?
For Example, If Product A started on January 2017 then that would be considered Month 1 for Product A.
While Product B start on July 2019 then that would be considered Month 1 for Product B.
Chart would look like below:
Hi, acbg
I create a sample. You need to create a calculated column.
Like this:
MONTHCOLUMN = VAR a = RANKX ( FILTER ( Table1, [product] = EARLIER ( Table1[product] ) ), YEAR ( Table1[DATE] ) * 100 + MONTH ( Table1[DATE] ), , ASC, DENSE ) RETURN "month" & aBest Regards

acbg yes for this kind of cohort analysis, you need to create a table that will contain, product, date, and calculated month number based on the product start date, and then it is going to be straightforward. A lot of heavy lifting will be done on data modelling and this calculated table.
