PREVIOUSMONTH DAX Function
Hi CracktheCode85 ,
I created some data:
Here are the steps you can follow：
1. Create calculated table.
Date = CALENDAR( DATE(2024,1,1),DATE(2024,5,1))2. You can try using the following measure.
Test = var _select=SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Date]) var _maxdate=EOMONTH(_select,-1) var _mindate=DATE(YEAR(_maxdate),MONTH(_maxdate),1) return SUMX( FILTER('Value_Table', 'Value_Table'[Date]>=_mindate&&'Value_Table'[Date]<=_maxdate),[Value])3. Result:
If the above doesn't meet your expectations, can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data. We can better understand the problem and help you.

Thank you!!
This did help tremendously! I found out that the SQL Database we are using does have month end data so it does work with that- however creating the calendar is crucial for most dashboards 🙂
