    Hi Wresen 

     

    Measures themselves cannot be used as  dimensions as they don't have a filter context but they can be materialized using a column in a disconnected table which values are controlled by a measure. 

     

     

    Please see the attached sample pbix.  Otherwise,  please provide a workable sample data (not an image), your expected result from the same sample data and your reasoning behind. You may post a link to Excel or a sanitized copy of your PBIX stored in the cloud.

Wresen , A measure can not change axis. 

 

But these measures will show data for previous or future date 

 

2 years ahead = 

Calculate([Net], dateadd(Date[Date],2, year))

 

2 years behind 

Calculate([Net], dateadd(Date[Date],-2, year))

 

Assuming you have a date table joined your fact table

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 :radacad sqlbi My Video Series Appreciate your Kudos.
