Required IsLast month and IsNext month for direct query in Power BI desktop

Hi Team,

I have few rows in my dataset with columns as Name and EndDate. For this data set required calculate columns like Last month and Next month (Suppose today date is 20/01/2019). My Data set is Direct Query mode. I required calculated columns only because they need to filter the data based on this flag columns.

 

NameEnd DateIsCurrentMonthIsLastMonthIsNextMonth
A25/01/2019100
B18/12/2018010
C24/02/2019001
D20/01/2019100

hi, @Narukkp

You could use these three formulas to add three calculate columns

new IsCurrentMonth = 
IF (
    YEAR ( Table1[End Date] ) * 100
        + MONTH ( Table1[End Date] )
        = YEAR ( TODAY () ) * 100
            + MONTH ( TODAY () ),
    1,
    0
)
new IsLastMonth = 
IF (
    YEAR ( Table1[End Date] ) * 100
        + MONTH ( Table1[End Date] )
        = IF (
            MONTH ( TODAY () ) = 1,
            ( YEAR ( TODAY () ) - 1 ) * 100 + 12,
            YEAR ( TODAY () ) * 100
                + MONTH ( TODAY () ) - 1
        ),
    1,
    0
)
new IsNextMonth = 
IF (
    YEAR ( Table1[End Date] ) * 100
        + MONTH ( Table1[End Date] )
        = IF (
            MONTH ( TODAY () ) = 12,
            ( YEAR ( TODAY () ) + 1 ) * 100 + 1,
            YEAR ( TODAY () ) * 100
                + MONTH ( TODAY () ) + 1
        ),
    1,
    0
)
