SSAS tabular cube previous month data

[Anonymous]

Hi team,

below is my data and yellow color is my expected output. i want to get previous month data.

in below "Total" column is my measure and i want to get lag/previous month measure "Previous Month total" data, and in my table we have duplicate date column. when i extract distinct date column into new table "Dim Date" and mapped on date column with actual table and write measure i am not getting exact results.

my DAX query:

previous Year:= YEAR(TODAY())-1                                 PreviousMonth:=

total := CALCULATE(SUM(DIM_FRM_REVENUE[Revenue]),FILTER(DIM_REVENUE,MONTH(TODAY())=MONTH(DIM_REVENUE[Value_Date])))

Total Previous Month:= CALCULATE(SUM(DIM_REVENUE[Revenue]),FILTER(DIM_REVENUE,(MONTH(DIM_REVENUE[Value_Date]) = [PreviousMnth]) && (YEAR(DIM_REVENUE[Value_Date] = [PreviousYear]))))

would you please help me correcting my output.

 

Regards,

snkm

Hi @Anonymous ,

Sorry, please update the measure as below.

Total Previous Month = 
VAR pre =
    EDATE ( MAX('DIM_REVENUE'[date]), -1 )
VAR preym =
    FORMAT ( pre, "mmm yyyy" )
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( DIM_REVENUE[Revenue] ),
        FILTER ( ALLSELECTED(DIM_REVENUE), DIM_REVENUE[Month Name] = preym )
    )

Hi @Anonymous ,

Please try this one please.

Total Previous Month =
VAR pre =
    EDATE ( TODAY (), -1 )
VAR preym =
    FORMAT ( pre, "mmm yyyy" )
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( DIM_REVENUE[Revenue] ),
        FILTER ( DIM_REVENUE, DIM_REVENUE[Month Name] = preym )
    )

Hi @v-frfei-msft ,

You should create date table and mark it as date table. This table should contain a continious set of dates (no gaps).  See: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/desktop-date-tables. You could also create the date table using DAX, for example with: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dax/calendarauto-function-dax.

This is an example you can use if you create a new table:

DateTable = CALENDARAUTO() 

If  you've created this date table (and linked it to your table with totals) you can use time intelligence functions such as YTD or PREVIOUSMONTH. In your case you could solve your question by using PREVIOUSMONTH. See the example below:

=CALCULATE(SUM(InternetSales_USD[SalesAmount_USD]), PREVIOUSMONTH('DateTable'[Date]))

Hi Larssb,

Thanks a lot for you resonding and upates. below are my findings

i have tried with suggestion provide using DIMTable= Calenderauto(12) and mark table as Date.

used most of the time intelligence function and all measure are showing blank.  would you please help in suggesting other ways.

If you have date, you can try Time intelligence With date calendar

MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD('Date'[Date]))
last MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,MONTH)))
last MTD (complete) Sales =  CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD(ENDOFMONTH(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,MONTH))))
last year MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-12,MONTH)))
last year MTD (complete) Sales =  CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD(ENDOFMONTH(dateadd('Date'[Date],-12,MONTH))))


last QTR same Month (complete) Sales =  CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD(ENDOFMONTH(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Qtr))))


MTD (Year End) Sales =  CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD(ENDOFYEAR('Date'[Date])))
MTD (Last Year End) Sales =  CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD(ENDOFYEAR(dateadd('Date'[Date],-12,MONTH),"8/31")))

 

QTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESQTD(('Date'[Date])))

Last QTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESQTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,QUARTER)))
Last complete QTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESQTD( ENDOFQUARTER(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,QUARTER))))

Last to last QTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESQTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-2,QUARTER)))
Next QTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESQTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],1,QUARTER)))

Last year same QTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESQTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year)))
Last year same QTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESQTD(ENDOFQUARTER(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year))))

trailing QTR = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,QUARTER))
trailing  4 QTR = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),dateadd('Date'[Date],-4,QUARTER))



YTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD(('Date'[Date]),"12/31"))
This Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD((ENDOFYEAR('Date'[Date])),"12/31"))

Last YTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year),"12/31"))
Last YTD complete Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD(ENDOFYEAR(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year)),"12/31"))
Last to last YTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-2,Year),"12/31"))

Year behind Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year))

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 :

Hi @Anonymous 

Try PARALLELPERIOD DAX function
