Hi,
I want to calculate the invoice count or average order value of the previous month. I got this working with either DATEADD() or PREVIOUSMONTH() but only when filtering my Power BI sheet to the current month (slicer or filter on the right hand side).
When not filtering to the current month, the number shows "Blank" when using PREVIOUSMONTH() or the count of all invoices - 1 Month when using DATEADD().
Is there a solution without having to filter the report?
Many thanks!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi,
please provide Sample PBIX.

Hi,
I hope, posting a link like this is ok:
I created two measures:
CountLastMonth = CALCULATE(COUNT(Invoices[InvNr]);DATEADD(DateTable[Date].[Date];-1;MONTH))
CountPreviousMonth = CALCULATE(COUNT(Invoices[InvNr]);PREVIOUSMONTH(DateTable[Date].[Date]))
Many thanks!
Hey,
easiest way is just to add another measure:
CountPreviousMonthFromToday = CALCULATE([CountPreviousMonth];DateTable[Date]= Today())
The reason is that Powerbi doesnt know for a single value what is the last passed month. Your Measure
CountPreviousMonth = CALCULATE(COUNT(Invoices[InvNr]);PREVIOUSMONTH(DateTable[Date].[Date]))
returns a table.
For correct function of measure
CountPreviousMonthFromToday
you have to extend your date table to minimun until today.
Hope it helps.
Greetings.
CountPreviousMonth = CALCULATE(COUNT(Invoices[InvNr]);PREVIOUSMONTH(DateTable[Date]))
sorry, there was a 'Date' to much 😄
find correct formula above
Hi,
now it shows me the table as a result but the final measure is still blank
Many thanks!
This seems to be working, also in my live worksheet, many thanks!!
you're welcome
Hi,
thanks for the explanation. I tried your solution but the new measure still shows blank. I attached the modified PBIX.
Many thanks!
