Hey there,
Try to calculate the previous month production. Although I already add one column for 'YearandMonth' (year*100+month) in whole number format, but it still doesn't work. I think my logic is correct, but it always shows zero...just no idea what's wrong with that dax? Would you help to check? Thanks!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @naoyixue1
Try this,
Last Month Production=Calculate([Produced Qty],Filter(ALL('Time Lookup'),'Time Lookup'[YearandMonth]=Selectedvalue('Time Lookup'[YearandMonth])-1))
If the problem is still not solved, it indicates that your formula seems to be OK, so maybe there's something wrong with your measure.
Can you provide more details about your data model and table structure, or PBI sample file after removing sensitive information? It will help to work out the solution quickly.

Hi,
If you have a Calendar set up with a proper relationship to your base data table and your slicer is from the Calendar table, then this simple measure should work
=calculate([product qty],previousmonth(calendar[date]))
Ensure that you select a Year/Month in the slicer.
Hope this helps.
Hey Ashish Mathur,
Thanks. But I'm now dealing with the non standard calendar...That's why I cannot use that previousmonth dax to calculate. Thanks!
