Hello v-kkf-msft ,

 

Thank you for your reply.  I just realized that your solution if ROLLING X MONTHS.  What I was looking for was simply to start the month-to-month comparison from NOVEMBER 2021 to NOVEMBER 2022, instead of January-January.  Is there a way to show each month starting November 2021? Thanks again.

Hi Oros ,

 

I am not sure if I understood your question correctly. If you only need to compare data in the range 2021-11 to 2022-11, please try

 

Rolling x months = 
VAR x = 3
VAR diff =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'SALES TABLE'[Sales] ),
        DATESINPERIOD ( 'DATE TABLE'[Date], MAX ( 'DATE TABLE'[Date] ), -1 * x, MONTH )
    )
VAR SelectDate =
    FORMAT ( MAX ( 'DATE TABLE'[Date] ), "yyyymm" )
RETURN
    IF ( SelectDate >= "202111" && SelectDate <= "202211", diff )

 

Best Regards,
Winniz
