    Hi mnarmeen,

    After research and test, you should create a Calendar table, and create a relationship with your 'erie_sale' table by date column.

    Then create a measure using the formula, then add it to your visual.

    PreviousSales = CALCULATE(SUM(erie_sale[Total]),PREVIOUSMONTH(Calendar[date]))

    Hi mnarmeen,

    I know your calculated column is [filterdate]. I think it still works, Please try and respond me if you have any issue.

Thankyou for your reply.

So, what I have done so far is that I have created a dimdate in sql and populated it with dates and now im making a relation (1-M) with my date column which isnt working .
