Anonymous , Use date table, if you do not use a date table with continuous dates, you might get error with filters

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.

    Thank you, I created a date table but now I am having an issue where the measure shows a different number if I put a relative date filter for the past 12 calendar months. When I put this relative date filter on the graph it shows the correct score, is there a way I can have the measure do the past 12 calendar months? I think there must be something wrong the measure listed in my initial post. (This score is also going into a table that is why I need this filter in the measure)
