    If you want to involve all the data(Today, Yesterday, This Week, Last Week, This Month, Last Month) in a single visual, create the following similar measures in your table, you may need to replace the sum function with count function.

    Today = CALCULATE(SUM(Table[appointments]),FILTER(Table,Table[Date]=TODAY()))
    Yesterday = CALCULATE(SUM(Table[appointments]),FILTER(Table,Table[Date]=TODAY()-1))
    This month = CALCULATE(SUM(Table[appointments]),FILTER(Table,YEAR(Table[Date])=YEAR(TODAY()) && MONTH(Table[Date])=MONTH(TODAY())))
    Last month = CALCULATE(SUM(Table[appointments]),FILTER(Table,YEAR(Table[Date])=YEAR(TODAY())&&MONTH(Table[Date])=MONTH(TODAY())-1))
    This week = CALCULATE(SUM(Table[appointments]),FILTER(Table,YEAR(Table[Date])=YEAR(TODAY())&&WEEKNUM(Table[Date])=WEEKNUM(TODAY())))
    Last week = CALCULATE(SUM(Table[appointments]),FILTER(Table,YEAR(Table[Date])=YEAR(TODAY())&&WEEKNUM(Table[Date])=WEEKNUM(TODAY())-1))

    Then you can create clustered column chart as shown in the following screenshot.

        Try this,

         

        Last month = CALCULATE(SUM(Table[appointments]),FILTER(ALL(Table),YEAR(Table[Date])=YEAR(TODAY())&&MONTH(Table[Date])=MONTH(TODAY())-1))

      WEEKNUM has two parameters,

      1. Date 
      2. Return type - use 1 when the week begins on Sunday; use 2 when the week begins on Monday

    Hello Anonymous ,

     

    Thank you for the above information!

    The last week formula is not working if the current week is January 2021 first week and the last week is December 2020 last week.

    The last month formula is not working if the current month is January 2021 and the last month is  December 2020.

     

    The above formulas are not showing any values in these cases. 

     

    Can you please let me know how to make last week, last month formulas work in the above scenarios.

     

    Thank you!

     

    Regards,

    Aswini
