Issues with Month[today]
I have a formula:
However, this returns blank and its due to my [Current Month] measure. This measure is
This will allow me to go back to 5 months prior, but will not at 6 months and I think it is due to the fact it will bleed into 2023, which is what I need. I am not sure to fix this.
Anonymous I would recommend using EOMONTH. You can use a pattern such as:
Measure = VAR __Today = TODAY() VAR __Max = EOMONTH( __Today, -6 ) VAR __Min = DATE( YEAR( __EOM6 ), MONTH( __EOM6 ), 1 ) VAR __Table = FILTER( ALL( 'Sales Data' ), [Date] >= __Min && [Date] <= __Max ) VAR __Result = SUMX( __Table, [sales price] ) RETURN __ResultOr do you not have a Date column?

Greg_Deckler I do have a date column! I will try this out today and get back to you.
Greg_Deckler this worked perfectly!! How would I update this to count working days for those time frames?
Anonymous There is a NETWORKDAYS function in DAX now, or the old school way: Net Work Days - Microsoft Fabric Community
I just figured it out, but still need help with a solution.
6month Prior = CALCULATE(SUM('Sales Data'[sales_price]), FILTER('Sales Data','Sales Data'[Month Match] = true && 'Sales Data'[Month if Matching] = [Current Month]-6))/ CALCULATE([# of WorkDays], FILTER('Date Key', 'Date Key'[Month] = [Current Month] -6))
it works except for 6+ months prior because we are in June (month 6) -6 is 0. But I need to now go back to 12/2023. Any ideas are appreciated!!Anonymous Perhaps use a month offset column which has a 0 for the current month and adds/subtracts 1 for every month forward/back
I use this in power Query:
#"Added Custom1" = Table.AddColumn(#"Inserted Quarter", "Month Offset", each (([Year]-Date.Year(Today))*12)
+([Month]-Date.Month(Today))),
