PREVIOUSMONTH Query
As you described, you want to achieve the same function as timestamp, which will not be possible in power bi. You can also understand the reason when you use power bi. It is a data display tool and does not provide data snapshot function. Since your status may be updated at any time, but the calculation logic of DAX is to filter out the data that meets your filter in the data you import, and then perform an aggregation.
So, if you want to achieve the timestamp function like Oracle database, then you can manually record it in excel in the monthly email subscription you mentioned. The report provides a "month-end" snapshot of our transaction volume and total at 2359 o'clock on the last day of each month.hackcrr

Hi,
Thank you again for trying to provide a solution to my problem! Your code now produces a number that is over a 1000 higher than it should be.
As I've said in my reply to hackcrr above, the more I think about this requirement the more I'm led to believe that its simply not possible as Cases that are active can close at any time and others that are closed can sometimes re-open.
Maybe the only way to capture this number is to manually record it in excel from the monthly emailed subscription I have set up on this report that provides a 'month-end' snapshot of our volumnes and totals at 2359hrs on the last day of every month.
If our Dynamics system had a timestamp function like an Oracle database has then this would be straightforward.
What do you think?
Thanks
