Incorrect Previous month value calculation

Hi Community,

 

I am trying to create previous month values. Everything is working as expected only issue is last date in Database is 5th April 2021 but when I select Date range slicer from 1st to 4th April so it gives me correct prevoius month value. BUT when I select date range from 1st April to 5th April so it gives me whole March value in previous measure.

 

I want it to give me 1st to 5th March value in my previous measure when I select date range from 1st to 5th April.

 

I don't know why it's behaving like this.

 

Previous Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(DataTable[Sales]),DATEADD('Calendar'[Date],-1,MONTH))
 
Can anyone please help me in this?

    Hi Syndicate_Admin ,

    I create the following sample data, and then create a measure.

     

    Ventas anteriores = 
var MonthEnd = 
    CALCULATE(
        SUM('DataTable'[Sales]),
        DATEADD( 'Calendar'[Date], -1, MONTH )
    )
var Month = 
    CALCULATE(
        SUM('DataTable'[Sales]),
        FILTER(
            ALL('DataTable'),
            'DataTable'[Date] <= EDATE( MAX('Calendar'[Date]), -1 )
            &&'DataTable'[Date] >= EDATE( MIN('Calendar'[Date]), -1 )
        )
    )
var Result = 
    IF(
        MAX('Calendar'[Date]) = EOMONTH( MAX('Calendar'[Date]), 0 ), 
        MonthEnd, 
        Month
    )
return Result

     

    If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information or the expected result you expect. Let me know immediately, looking forward to your reply.

    Hi, Uzi2019 

    If it is OK with you, please share your sample pbix file, then I can try to look into it and come up with a fixed result. 

     

    Thank you.

    Syndicate_Admin , You can try like example

     

    MTD QTY forced=
    var _max = today()
    return
    if(max('Date'[Date])<=_max, calculate(Sum('order'[Qty]),DATESMTD('Date'[Date])), blank())
    //or
    //calculate(Sum('order'[Qty]),DATESMTD('Date'[Date]),filter('Date','Date'[Date]<=_max))
    //calculate(TOTALMTD(Sum('order'[Qty]),'Date'[Date]),filter('Date','Date'[Date]<=_max))


    LMTD QTY forced=
    var _max = date(year(today()),month(today())-1,day(today()))
    return
    if(max('Date'[Date])<=_max, CALCULATE(Sum('order'[Qty]),DATESMTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,year)),'Date'[Date]<=_max), blank())
    //OR
    //CALCULATE(Sum('order'[Qty]),DATESMTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,year)),'Date'[Date]<=_max)
    //TOTALMTD(Sum('order'[Qty]),dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,year),'Date'[Date]<=_max)

     

    LYMTD QTY forced=
    var _max = date(year(today())-1,month(today()),day(today()))
    return
    if(max('Date'[Date])<=_max, CALCULATE(Sum('order'[Qty]),DATESMTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,year)),'Date'[Date]<=_max), blank())
    //OR
    //CALCULATE(Sum('order'[Qty]),DATESMTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,year)),'Date'[Date]<=_max)
    //TOTALMTD(Sum('order'[Qty]),dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,year),'Date'[Date]<=_max)
