[pbiforum123]

Let say the input date for all the below dates is "Date(2019,10,30)"...

Following are the output that is required... Please help...

1. BeforeSales3Months --> date(2019,7,31)
2. SalesLast3Month --> date(2019,10,31)
3. SalesNext3Month --> date(2020,1,31)
4. SalesOlderThanThisMonth --> date(2019,9,30)
5. SalesThisMonth --> date(2019,10,31)
6. SalesNextMonth --> date(2019,11,30)

I need date functions which can get me the above output. I am also searching for the required date functions in google which can get me the above output.

You may refer to the DAX below.

Measure =
VAR d =
    DATE ( 2019, 10, 30 )
VAR m = -3
RETURN
    DATE ( YEAR ( d ), MONTH ( d ) + m + 1, 1 ) - 1

Hi @pbiforum123 ,

There are DAX functions available which helps you to calculate these requirement. And you can also use Date Column as a slicer with Relative option.

1. BeforeSales3Months = CALCULATE(Sum(Table[Sales]),DATESADD(Table[DateCOlumn],-3,MONTH))
2. SalesLast3Month --> date(2019,10,31) ?? I am confused at this measure. What do you wanna display?
3. SalesNext3Month --> CALCULATE(Sum(Table[Sales]),DATESADD(Table[DateCOlumn],3,MONTH))
4. SalesOlderThanThisMonth --> CALCULATE(Sum(Table[Sales]),PREVOIUSMONTH(Table[DateColumn]))
5. SalesThisMonth --> CALCULATE(SUM(Table[Sales]),PARALLELPERIOD(Table[ColumnDate],0,MONTH))
6. SalesNextMonth --> CALCULATE(Sum(Table[Sales]),DATESADD(Table[DateCOlumn],1,MONTH))

Thanks a lot for your response...

Regarding the pt2, it has to get the End of the Month of Date(2019,10,30), which will be 2019,10,31

By the way I dont want to calculate Sales using these functions. 

I need the output in exactly the way I mentioned as I am passing these dates in the Date buckets in the matrix... Please refer below link for more understanding..

Hi @pbiforum123 ,

You can also use Relative Date slicer in order to see all those values and play around by changing its option. (Screen shot is attached)
