Time analysis in Paginated reports
- Anonymous5 years ago
Hi wfreeman
I build a sample for you, you may refer to the data model and code in this sample.
Calendar table:
Calendar = VAR _T1 = ADDCOLUMNS ( CALENDARAUTO (), "Year", YEAR ( [Date] ), "Month", MONTH ( [Date] ), "YearMonth", YEAR ( [Date] ) * 100 + MONTH ( [Date] ) ) VAR _T2 = ADDCOLUMNS ( _T1, "RANK", RANKX ( _T1, [YearMonth],, ASC, DENSE ) ) RETURN _T2Relate Date column with Date column in your Fact table.
Measures:
Last Month Value = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Value]),PREVIOUSMONTH('Calendar'[Date]))Change Percentage = VAR _Change = SUM('Table'[Value]) - [Last Month Value] RETURN DIVIDE(_Change,[Last Month Value])Result is as below.
You may refer to this blog to build measures in Paginated reports.

Thank you again for the help! It did work for getting the data that I wanted! It worked with just using some tables from my SQL database, but if I try to use my live connection SQL Analysis I get an error trying to connect to the power bi report using paginated report builder. Once I have published the report to the service, i use a gateway to connect to our data. This is error I am getting if you have any solutions.....
