Please explain how to make Dynamic date filter for last month's data

[Anonymous · Accepted solution]

Hi @muktapurc ,
You can create a measure

Dynamic Date Filter = 
VAR TodayDate = TODAY()
VAR FirstDayOfThisMonth = DATE(YEAR(TodayDate), MONTH(TodayDate), 1)
VAR LastDayOfLastMonth = FirstDayOfThisMonth - 1
VAR FirstDayOfLastMonth = DATE(YEAR(LastDayOfLastMonth), MONTH(LastDayOfLastMonth), 1)
RETURN
IF(
    SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Date]) >= FirstDayOfLastMonth && SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Date]) <= LastDayOfLastMonth,
    1,
    0
)

Apply the measure to the filter on this visual and set it is 1

The above is a filter based on today's date, you can replace today() with your desired date

VAR FirstDayOfLastMonth =Date(Year(LastDayOfLastMonth),1)

Here you are adding one day to LastDayOfLastMonth?

Hi @muktapurc ,
You need to associate it with the previous variable

VAR FirstDayOfThisMonth = DATE(YEAR(TodayDate), MONTH(TodayDate), 1)

This line of code calculates the first day of the month and stores it in the variable FirstDayOfThisMonth.

VAR LastDayOfLastMonth = FirstDayOfThisMonth - 1

This line of code gets the last day of the previous month by subtracting one day from the first day of the month and storing it in the variable LastDayOfLastMonth.

VAR FirstDayOfLastMonth = DATE(YEAR(LastDayOfLastMonth), MONTH(LastDayOfLastMonth), 1)

This line of code calculates the first day of the previous month and stores it in the variable FirstDayOfLastMonth.
All of the above variables are obtained through you VAR TodayDate = TODAY() to do the calculations, in fact it's enough to just get this date.
