Hi,
Currently I'm having request based on by choosing current year-month , I would like to see the result based on (currentmonth - previousmonth) as a result. Since I 'm having monthyear column as text data type.
Example , I'm selecting the Month - july,2023 and result will be July2023 - june2023 the difference.
It would change dynamically based on the month selection.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @francisjohn83 ,
You can try using the following dax:
Measure =
var _selectyear=SELECTEDVALUE('UploadAccounts'[MonthYear].[Year])
var _selectmonthnumber=SELECTEDVALUE('UploadAccounts'[MonthYear].[MonthNo])
var _current=SUMX( FILTER(ALL(UploadAccounts),YEAR('UploadAccounts'[MonthYear])=_selectyear&&MONTH('UploadAccounts'[MonthYear])=_selectmonthnumber),[Value])
var _last=SUMX( FILTER(ALL(UploadAccounts),YEAR('UploadAccounts'[MonthYear])=_selectyear&&MONTH('UploadAccounts'[MonthYear])=_selectmonthnumber-1),[Value])
return
_current - _last
Result:
