Measure does not total

Hi everyone,

 

I have the below formula to calculate 1st Month's sales.

 

1st Month's Sales =
CALCULATE (
    SUM(  'Total-Combined'[Amount] ),
    FILTER (
        ALL ( 'Total-Combined'[Table-Dates.Date] ),
        'Total-Combined'[Table-Dates.Date] > DATE ( YEAR ( MIN ( 'Total-Combined'[Table-Dates.Date] ) ), MONTH ( MIN ( 'Total-Combined'[Table-Dates.Date] ) ) + 0, 1 ) &&
        'Total-Combined'[Table-Dates.Date] < DATE ( YEAR ( MIN ( 'Total-Combined'[Table-Dates.Date] ) ), MONTH ( MIN ( 'Total-Combined'[Table-Dates.Date] ) ) + 1, 1 )
    )
)
 
However, when this is broken down by products in a table, the sum of the measures do not add correctly in the table . How do I change my formula so that the table displays the total correctly?

  • Hi,

    Create a Calendar Table with calculated column formulas for Year, Month name and Month number.  Sort the Month name column by the Month number.  Create a relationship (Many to One and Single) from the Date column of the Data Table to the Date column of the Calendar Table. Write these measures

    Total = sum('Total-Combined'[Amount])

    Sale in first month = calculate([Total],datesbetween(Calendar[Date],min(Data[Date]),eomonth(min(Data[Date]),0)))

    Hope this helps.

      Thankyou Ashish, what if I wanted the 2nd month's sales and the 3rd month's sales?
