Hi all,
I want to create a visualisation where if you select a month, only this month and the same monthe last year and two years ago are displayed like this:
Any ideas?
Kind regards,
Jo
As a best practice, add a date dimension in your model and use it for time intelligence calculations. Once the date dimension is added, mark it as a date table on table tools. Check the related videos on my YT channel

Add another date dimension in your model, let's call it 'Date for Slicer' and this table will not have a relationship with any other table, except Month-Year will be used from this table in the slicer:
Add the following measure and use it in the visualization, using the Year-Month column from the main date dimension table:
New Measure
VAR __Dates =
UNION (
VALUES ( 'Date for Slicers'[Date] ),
DATEADD ( 'Date for Slicers'[Date], -1, YEAR ),
DATEADD ( 'Date for Slicers'[Date], -2, YEAR )
)
RETURN
CALCULATE (
[Your Measure],
KEEPFILTERS (
TREATAS ( __Dates, 'Date Table'[Date] )
)
)
