Help needed ASAP PLEASE - Previous Month Function and Previous Quarter not working accurately for me

[Anonymous]

Hi,

Goal: Get previous month value and put it into a card visual. I also need to get previous quartervalues because I will make a QoQ moving average later on.

Questions:

1. From below image, why is getting the blank value? The card visual should be getting $3.444,386 as the previous month value

2. Why did previous quarter price sum? I only need to pick last quarter value because my end goal is to create a QoQ moving average

Formula Used:

Previous Month: 

Previous Month Price = CALCULATE(sum('b2b_datalab_cvm_pp_result JJ_Mobility_Trading_Ranges'[ARPU]), PREVIOUSMONTH('b2b_datalab_cvm_pp_result JJ_Mobility_Trading_Ranges'[Renewal Date YM]))

Previous Quarter:

Previous Quarter Price = CALCULATE(sum('b2b_datalab_cvm_pp_result JJ_Mobility_Trading_Ranges'[ARPU]), PREVIOUSQUARTER('b2b_datalab_cvm_pp_result JJ_Mobility_Trading_Ranges'[Renewal Date YM]))

Note: I cannot use dateadd function in the 1st question because I have a slicer for the renewal date. I need a dynamic measure for the previous month price depending on the filter for renewal date:

@Anonymous , I think PREVIOUSQUARTER, PREVIOUSMONTH take the first date. so the basis are 01/05/2020, for both. Before it. If you need based on 30/04/2021 you need use datesqtd, datesmtd.

Also use date table, not the date column from your table

example

QTD Sales = CALCULATE(sum('b2b_datalab_cvm_pp_result JJ_Mobility_Trading_Ranges'[ARPU]),DATESQTD(('Date'[Date])))

Last QTD Sales = CALCULATE(sum('b2b_datalab_cvm_pp_result JJ_Mobility_Trading_Ranges'[ARPU]),DATESQTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,QUARTER)))

Qtr Sales = CALCULATE(sum('b2b_datalab_cvm_pp_result JJ_Mobility_Trading_Ranges'[ARPU]),DATESQTD(ENDOFQUARTER('Date'[Date])))

Last QUARTER Sales = CALCULATE(sum('b2b_datalab_cvm_pp_result JJ_Mobility_Trading_Ranges'[ARPU]),DATESQTD( ENDOFQUARTER(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,QUARTER))))

MTD Sales = CALCULATE(sum('b2b_datalab_cvm_pp_result JJ_Mobility_Trading_Ranges'[ARPU]),DATESMTD('Date'[Date]))

last MTD Sales = CALCULATE(sum('b2b_datalab_cvm_pp_result JJ_Mobility_Trading_Ranges'[ARPU]),DATESMTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,MONTH)))

this month = CALCULATE(sum('b2b_datalab_cvm_pp_result JJ_Mobility_Trading_Ranges'[ARPU]),DATESMTD(ENDOFMONTH('Date'[Date])))

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

How do you do the Date'[Date]'?
