Month over Month Change without Date Table
Hi,
Can you any one suggest me the best way to calculate “Month over Month Changes” for below data set?
***I do not have Data Table in current data set
Thanks
Month | Product |
Jan-2020 | A |
Feb-2020 | A |
Jan-2020 | A |
Feb-2020 | A |
Feb-2020 | A |
Month over Month Change Formula=
Var thismonth=count(‘test table’[product])
var lastmonth=
calculate(count (‘test table’[product]),
filter(all((‘test table’[product]),
(‘test table’[month]=max(‘test table’[product])-1))
Return
thismonth-lastmonth
tejapowerbi123 , once you have date like this in the table and change data type to date.
Create a date table
To get the best of the time intelligence function. Make sure you have a date calendar and it has been marked as the date in model view. Also, join it with the date column of your fact/s. Refer :radacad sqlbi My Video Series Appreciate your Kudos.
You can use formula like these
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]))
next month Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),nextmonth('Date'[Date]))
this month =MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD(ENDOFMONTH('Date'[Date])))
last MTD (complete) Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD(ENDOFMONTH(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,MONTH))))
previous month value = CALCULATE(sum('Table'[total hours value]),previousmonth('Date'[Date]))diff = [MTD Sales]-[last MTD Sales]
diff % = divide([MTD Sales]-[last MTD Sales],[last MTD Sales])Refer my blog and video Month on Month with or Without Time Intelligence(TI)

tejapowerbi123 , Can you create one.
If you do not have a date and have the month in the above format,
You can get a date like
Date = "01-" &[Month] and join with date table and work
