FlagThisMonth vs Month Previous Year

Hi All,

 

I have created 3 measures: Net Sales, Net Sales PY and Net Sales PY-1. I want to display the Net Sales of the current month vs. that same month Last Year (Net Sales PY) and vs. that same month 2 years ago (Net Sales PY-1). Currently only the filter 'Year=2022' is active.

 

I would like to create some sort of flag (FlagThisMonth_OverYears) to display these 3 values in a stacked bar chart. Any ideas how to achieve this?

 

Thanks in advance!

@Anonymous , you can have flag like

 

Month Type = Switch( True(),

eomonth([Date],0) = eomonth(Today(),-24),"2nd Last year same Month" ,
eomonth([Date],0) = eomonth(Today(),-12),"Last year same Month" ,
eomonth([Date],0) = eomonth(Today(),-1),"Last Month" ,
eomonth([Date],0)= eomonth(Today(),0),"This Month" ,
Format([Date],"MMM-YYYY")
)
