This Year Last month and Last Year same Month

[Anonymous]

Hi All,

I need a help in showing the column headers in such a way that for example if I have data till Jan-2021 and I wanted to show the headers as Jan-2021 and Jan-2020.It should be changed on the data refresh.

Date

1-jan-2020

1-dec-2020

1-jan-2021

3-jan-2021

OutPut: 

	Jan-2021	Jan-2020
Sales	###	##

Thanks in advance,

Hi @Anonymous ,

Did you have a  date table in your model? You can create a date table and create many to one relationship to fact table.

Dim_Date = ADDCOLUMNS(CALENDAR(DATE(2020,1,1),DATE(2021,12,31)),"month",FORMAT([Date],"mmm")&"-"&YEAR([Date]))

Then use month column as columns in matrix:

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

@Anonymous , one way is use time intelligence and this year vs last year same month, But that will not show month name

example with help from date table

MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD('Date'[Date]))

last year MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-12,MONTH)))
Previous year Month Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),previousmonth(dateadd('Date'[Date],-11,MONTH)))

Hi  @amitchandak, 

I have the calculations done. I required the headings.

@Anonymous , Assume you have a measure. Try a measure like( use calendar table marked as Date table)

measure =
calculate([meausre] ) + calculate([measure], dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,year))

In this case you should able to use month name as column in matrix
