To show previous month value [Measure Value]

[UditJ]

In the below table i need to add a column which will basically have previous months value. Example Jan - Will have Null Value , Feb - 0.18%(jans Value) , March - 0.20% (Febs Value).. So on..

Hi @UditJ ,

The data for 2019 does not affect the use of PREVIOUSMONTH() functions.

You need a calendar table to connect to the main table, use the month column of the calendar table, and use

PREVIOUSMONTH('Calendar'[Date]) to return the previous months' data.

Measure = CALCULATE([CTR],PREVIOUSMONTH('Calendar'[Date]))

@UditJ , for a selected date time intelligence and date table can help

MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD('Date'[Date]))
last MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,MONTH)))
last month Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),previousmonth('Date'[Date]))
MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD('Date'[Date]))
last MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,MONTH)))
last month Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),previousmonth('Date'[Date]))
