Parallel Period

Hi Guys!

I am trying to count previous month jobID. However, Its giving me different value. What's is wrong?

I have included both table and formula. 

Thanks

@meIdo , You should use date table for that. Joined with date(only Date no time) of your tables

Then you can use

Month behind Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Month))

To get the best of the time intelligence function. Make sure you have a date calendar and it has been marked as the date in model view. Also, join it with the date column of your fact/s. Refer :radacad sqlbi My Video Series Appreciate your Kudos.
