I'm trying to sum multiple month values over several years e.g. Jan 2007, Jan 2008, Jan 2009.
I'm using the following formula however when I try push the date forward 12 months it comes back to the orignial value e.g. (Jan 2007) + Jan 2007 instead of (Jan 2007 + Jan 2008)
Is there a way to achieve multiple Jan additions?

My DAX is
Aggregation 2 =
CALCULATE (
SUMX (
Sales,
Sales[Quantity] * Sales[Net Price]
),
ALLEXCEPT (
'Date',
'Date'[Month]
),DATESINPERIOD('Date'[Date],FIRSTDATE('Date'[Date]),1,MONTH))
+
CALCULATE (
SUMX (
Sales,
Sales[Quantity] * Sales[Net Price]
),
ALLEXCEPT (
'Date',
'Date'[Month]
),DATESINPERIOD('Date'[Date],FIRSTDATE('Date'[Date]),1,MONTH),EDATE('Date'[Date],12))
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi, @Anonymous
I think there is no need to use DATESMTD.
NY_Sales Amount = CALCULATE(Sales[Sales Amount],DATEADD('Date'[Date],-1,YEAR) )
Year after NY_Sales Amount = CALCULATE(Sales[Sales Amount],DATEADD('Date'[Date],-2,YEAR) )
_Aggregation = [Sales Amount]+[NY_Sales Amount]+[Year after NY_Sales Amount]

@Anonymous , Based on what I got, try measure one like below with help from date table
last three year same month Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD('Date'[Date]))
+ CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-12,MONTH)))
+ CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-24,MONTH)))
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.
Thanks for this,I'm getting this result when I enter the measure, I've tried filtering out the -12 and -24 month and it still gives me the same result
I'm using 'Date' [Calendar Year] and 'Date'[Month] as my rows do you think this is the issue as the measure you've suggested is calling 'Date'[Date]
