Monthly comparison over years

Hello.

 

I have a month comparison (last year LY and current year CY).  I have a data starting NOV 2021.  How do you make the month comparison start in NOV 2021 instead of JAN 2022.  How do you compare (monthly, year over another year) based on last X months?  Thanks.

 The measures applied for LAST YEAR'S and CURRENT YEAR

 

There is also a separate DATE TABLE created using a query:

    OK So the idea is adding new colums to your calendar table and slice by them , same as fiscal year . 

    note ;

    please dont forget to change the current column to the new colum in your dax measre .

    Hi Oros ,

     

    Please try the measure.

     

    Rolling x months = 
VAR x = 3
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'SALES TABLE'[Sales] ),
        DATESINPERIOD ( 'DATE TABLE'[Date], MAX ( 'DATE TABLE'[Date] ), -1 * x, MONTH )
    )

     

     

    If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information or the expected result you expect. Let me know immediately, looking forward to your reply.

      Hello v-kkf-msft ,

       

      Thank you for your reply.  How and where do you insert the ROLLING X MEASURE in this matrix table?

        Hi Oros ,

         

        I simply add the measure and Sales to the Values field of the matrix, and I switch the value to rows in the attribute for easier comparison.
