Hi,
According to your description, i create a sample to test:
Then create a what if parameter from 0-10 first for selecting last N months.
Then please try this measure:
Measure =
VAR a =
SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Last Month'[Last Month] ) - 1
RETURN
IF (
MONTH ( TODAY () ) - a >= 0,
CALCULATE (
SUM ( 'Table'[Days Open] ),
FILTER (
'Table',
'Table'[Date Created]
>= DATE ( YEAR ( TODAY () ), MONTH ( TODAY () ) - a, 1 ) - 1
)
),
CALCULATE (
SUM ( 'Table'[Days Open] ),
FILTER (
'Table',
'Table'[Date Created]
>= DATE ( YEAR ( TODAY () ) - 1, MONTH ( TODAY () ) - a + 12, 1 ) - 1
)
)
)When select last 3 months or last 4 months, the result shows:
Here is my test pbix file:
Hope this helps.
