Last month measure

Hello Guys, how are you?

Could someone help me find a solution for the following:

I have the following relationship between tables below

in table:

The calculated "MRR fim do mes" column is a measure of cumulative total.

From there, how could I get a measure that would give me the MRR value of the past month?

 

Thanks so much

Hi @karinafreitass ,

 

I made a simple sample.

First of all, there can be no relationship between the two tables. If it is relevant, the value of the previous month cannot be obtained.

 

Measure =
IF (
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( 'Table'[Data] ),
        FILTER (
            ALL ( 'Table' ),
            [Data]
                = DATESINPERIOD (
                    'dCalendar'[Data],
                    SELECTEDVALUE ( dCalendar[Data] ),
                    -1,
                    MONTH
                )
        )
    )
        = MAX ( 'Table'[Data] ),
    1
)

 

 

Then put the measure into visual level Filters and set Show items when the value is 1.

@karinafreitass , why the date table is on the many side in this case. It should be on one side. Check and correct the join.

With help time intelligence and date table, you can have

example

 

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

@amitchandak Thank you very much for your answer.

I adjusted the relation between the tables.

I created an image that better replicates what I want as a result
