Rolling Quarters

Hello,

 

I'm fairly new to PBI Desktop and I'm struggling with a "rolling quarter" implementation in PBI...
I have 4 graphs that show the status progess of Data Subject implementation in our database at the end of each quarter. The data comes from an excel spreadsheet.
The spreadsheet currently contains the data as shown in the screen capture. I.e. Business Function, Data Category, Data Subject, and the 4 quarters.
When the data for the end of Q3 - FY2020 becomes available, the spreadsheet needs to be updated and the PBI Graphs then should show Q4 - FY2019 through Q3 - FY2020.
What is the best way to organize the spreadsheet and apply this to the PBI graphs?

@Anonymous  - In your Date table, you can add a "Relative Quarter" column, which will indicate "how many quarters ago" any date falls into. You will need to apply some logic to determine what is the most recent closed quarter. Then, in your visuals, you can filter based on the relative quarter.

I hope this helps. If it does, please Mark as a solution.
I also appreciate Kudos.
