Show last 12 months data

Hi ,

I need to display Last 12  months data for a measure deoending on Year and Month selection.

I managed to write the measure, but when put in the Line chart, it gets filtered only for the selected month.

 

Any help is appreciated

 

Regards,

Priyanga

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Did you have a dim_ date table? I suggest you create a date table and then you can use the following measure:

 

Last 12 months Sales =
VAR Start_date =
    CALCULATE ( MAX ( Dim_Date[Date] ), ALLSELECTED ( Dim_Date ) )
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        [Measure],
        ALL ( Dim_Date ),
        DATESINPERIOD ( Dim_Date[Date], [Start_date], -12, MONTH )
    )

If it is OK with you, please share your sample pbix file, or your measure. Then I can try to come up with a more accurate solution.

Hi Jihwan,

I cannot attach sample pbix file due to security retrictions. But I have put down the measures
Calculated Column: 

12 months ago = DATEADD(Sheet5[Date],-12,MONTH)

Measure for start date and end date for selected YEAR_MONTH
Start date = CALCULATE(MAX( Sheet5[12 months ago]),ALLSELECTED(Sheet5))
End date = MAX(Sheet5[Date])

Last 12 months Sales measure:
Last 12 months =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( Sheet5[Measure]),
ALL ( Sheet5),
DATESBETWEEN (
Sheet5[Date],
[Start date],
[End date])
)
 
When I try to put the Last 12 months measure in Line graph, instead of showing data for Last 12 months, it gets filtered  only for the selected month in the slicer. I have both YEAR and MONTH slicer in my report.

@Anonymous You can create a measure like below
 
TTM_Sales =
VAR CurrentDate = MAX('Date'[End of Month Date])

VAR PreviousDate = CurrentDate - 365
VAR Result =
CALCULATE(
SUM(FactInternetSales[SalesAmount]),
FILTER(
FactInternetSales,
FactInternetSales[End of Month Date] >= PreviousDate && FactInternetSales[End of Month Date] <= CurrentDate
)
)
Return Result
