Help counting rows based on previous month date
Hey all,
In our Org we report 1 month in arrers. So I need to write a DAX measure that looks for "recorded date" for the previous month.
Im not sure what if any functions there are in PBI that evaluates current month? I need something to the effect of...
Last month Total = Countrows(This month - 1)
Thanks,
J
Anonymous , Try with date table
MTD Sales = CALCULATE(countrows(Sales[Table]),DATESMTD('Date'[Date])) last MTD Sales = CALCULATE(countrows(Sales[Table]),DATESMTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,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 :

First, you must create a relationship between the fact table and the date dimension.
Next, create the above measures in the file.
Here is my test file for your reference.
