Hello There,
I have situation where i need to calculate previous month, sameperiod last year in a measure however where in the measure first row value should be calculated reference for 2nd, 3rd, 4th and goes on...
I need a calculation result as below :
Value_to_exponental = (0.2*Same_Period_LY)+((1-0.2)*Previous Row value)
For the first result row value it should consider Pre_Month measure and then it should take value from the current measure
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Chinna_1731 ,
you can use this measure
Did I answer your question? Mark this post as a solution if I did!
Hi, @Chinna_1731 ;
Try those measures:
Pre_month = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Invoice Processing]),DATEADD('Table'[date],-1,MONTH))Same_period_ly = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Invoice Processing]),DATEADD('Table'[date],-12,MONTH))Value_to_exponental = (0.2*[Same_period_ly])+((1-0.2)*[Pre_month])
The final show:

you can use OFFSET() Function to get previous row from a Table visual, This function will not work in a calculated column, and if you need it check out below.

@Chinna_1731 , If you need the last month and the same period last year
You can have two measures like
Month behind Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Month))
Year behind Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year))
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]))
last year MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-12,MONTH)))
MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD('Date'[Date]))
this month = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD(ENDOFMONTH('Date'[Date])))
Thanks for the response buddy!
However it doesn't seems fulfill the ask and can you please re-look into it
