Good morning,
I have a question concerning a measure I created to calculate the overhead cost per month and year.
The 1st measure:

Solved! Go to Solution.
@LamSar , For last value for month you can try measure using time intelligence
MTD Sales = CALCULATE(lastnonblankvalues('Date'[Date],SUM(Sales[Sales Amount])),DATESMTD('Date'[Date]))
or use date time from table
MTD Sales = CALCULATE(lastnonblankvalues('Sales'[Date time],SUM(Sales[Sales Amount])),DATESMTD('Date'[Date]))
Other measure
last MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,MONTH)))
last year MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-12,MONTH)))

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.
