hexitated , Do you have date, then you can use date table and time intelligence

 

last MTD Sales = CALCULATE([EBIT% ],DATESMTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,MONTH)))
last month Sales = CALCULATE([EBIT% ],previousmonth('Date'[Date]))

 

make sure EBIT%  is not using time intelligence

thanks for the reply but i still don't get it completely. so my structure looks like this

i am working with a custom date table (year, month, week day short, week day long, quarter etc..) which is connected to the posting dates of sales and cost tables. so my ebit % now is just a measure that divides my ebit measure (sales - costs) by the sum of the sales. all these have their posting date which is connected to my custom date table. the KPI visual that i am working with also takes the year from my custom date table.

so does that mean i can use time intelligence or is this only possible with your method? and if yes - is there a easy way to get it done without adjusting my date table?

 

thanks for your time already!!
