Previous 2 Quarters (Live Connection Dataset)

‎03-30-2020 11:58 AM

Hello,

 

I'm having trouble figuring out a measure to calculate the previous two quarter's revenue. This specifically will include the current quarter, and the quarter directly preceding it. Please note this is for a live connection.

 

Thanks

Hey @Anonymous,

 

is the live connection to SSAS Tabular or SSAS Multidimensional.

 

Regards,

Tom

If a live connection then I believe that means avoiding time intelligence functions. See if my Time Intelligence the Hard Way provides a different way of accomplishing what you are going for.
