Sum of last 3 months

I've searched on the forum to calculate the sum of last 3 months, but it seems that it does not work for me.

I would like to have the sum of Sep to Nov in December row.

Could you please help to see where is the problem from ?

 

Thank you.

Hi @Anonymous ,
 
First ,if you don't have a unrelated calendar table, you need to create a new calendar table and use the date as a slicer.
Then create a measure to calculate sales:
sum_Sales_last_3_months =
CALCULATE (
    SUM( Sales[Sales] ),
    FILTER (
        ALL ( Sales[Date] ),
        Sales[Date] <= MAX ( DimDate[Date] )
            && Sales[Date] >= EDATE ( MAX(DimDate[Date]),-3 )
    )
)
 
You can also refer to the pbix.
If the problem persists,could you please share sample data or sample pbix?(Please mask any sensitive data before uploading)

Hi @V-lianl-msft ,

 

Thank you for the reply. It works when i unrelate my calendar table.

But is there other way not to unrelating and still able to calculat the last 3 months ?

Because I need to relate the calendar in the matrix.

 

Thanks,

 

Amy

Hi @Anonymous ,
 
Measure has associated the unrelated calendar table with your existing date. You can use slicer to get the desired result. You can refer to the pbix file I published earlier.
