    Hi, Uzi2019 

    According to your picture and description, I guess that you want to make the total row of [prev] display the correct total value, you can create a new measure [prev_new]:

    prev_new =

var _new=SUMMARIZE('Table','Table'[date],"_value",[prev])

return IF(HASONEVALUE('Table'[date]),[prev],SUMX(_new,[_value]))

    You should replace the ‘Table’ with your table name, and place this measure into the table chart.

    And you can get what you want.

     

    If this result is not what you want, you can post some sample data(without sensitive data) so that we can help you in advance.

Uzi2019 , for time intelligence use date table, any missing date will cause the issue

 

var prev= CALCULATE(SUM(Channel[Cost]),DATEADD('DATE'[date],-1,MONTH))
var curr= CALCULATE(SUM(Channel[Cost]))
var Ans= Divide([curr]-[prev]),[prev],0) //Avoid - as that will convert it into a text , use divide
 
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.

Hi amitchandak ,

Thanks for your reply.

As I mentioned, I am getting incorrect Prev Month Total which leads to incorrect MoM Growth. So first we have to rectify previous month figure. Individual rows are coming correctly but total is incorrect.
