Table or Matrix with each month showing last 12 month of unique ID

Hi 

Is it possible to have a table of matrix that shows for each month the # of unique Cutomer ID for the last 12 months within each month. Example Jan-2021 value would show the # of unique customer ID over the last 12 calender month.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Did you have a calendar table. You need to build one and create an one to many relationship between it and your fact table.

 

Then you can use the following measure:

 

Measure =
VAR CURRENTDATE =
    MAX ( Date[Date] )
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        DISTINCTCOUNT ( Sales[CustomerID] ),
        DATESINPERIOD ( 'Date'[Date], CURRENTDATE, -1, YEAR ),
        ALL ( Date )
    )

 

If this post helps, then please consider Accept it as the solution to help the other members find it more quickly.

 

Best Regards,
