Measure Help

Dears i would need your help for a measure : i have a table with sales by month , i created another table with dates which i linked many to one: than i created a formula to calculate prices ; Price = DIVIDE(sum('Price Evolution'[Amount]),sum('Price Evolution'[Pieces])) Than based on this i created the following: Price Base = CALCULATE([Price],filter('Price Evolution','Price Evolution'[Calender Year_Month]=[Previous Month] Where Previous Month = SELECTEDVALUE('Previous Month'[Previous Month]) so when i select a month from drop down it actively calculates price for that certain period. Than i want to show data by month as in below Pic with interaction broken to the drop down so it shows all months and what i would like is instead of Price by month to show the delta vs the price of the month i selected and PRice of the month. At this point if i use Price - Price Base it gives me 0 for all months Any ideas on this ? Thanks https://ibb.co/xDDkX26

@alexbalazsalex , for last month you can try time intelligence with date table

 

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]))

Hi @amitchandak 

 

Thanks for your quick reply,

 

This doesnt work for me as i want the difference not between the last month but the mont i selected.

 

Lets say i select price of Jan21, so the graph will show Jan21 price as 0 as its jan21-jan21, than we will have Feb21-Jan21, Mar21-Jan21, Apr21-Jan21 etc....

 

With the part of Jan to be chaned actively .

 

Thanks

Alex
