I want to show a visual which return month over month change for last 12 months. Can someone provide the dax code for it
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Anonymous,
Did you mean the expression should apply to the last 12-month ranges based on the latest date and show the month-over-month difference in these ranges?
For your requirement, you can add variables to extract value from the table and use the if statement to check the current date and the last date and skip the calculation in the not match date ranges.
Sample measure:
formula =
VAR currDate =
MAX ( Table[Date] )
VAR prevDate =
DATE ( YEAR ( currDate ), MONTH ( currDate ) - 1, DAY ( currDate ) )
VAR cMonth =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( Table[Amount] ),
FILTER (
ALLSELECTED ( Table ),
YEAR ( [Date] ) = currDate
&& MONTH ( [Date] ) = MONTH ( currDate )
)
)
VAR pMonth =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( Table[Amount] ),
FILTER (
ALLSELECTED ( Table ),
YEAR ( [Date] ) = prevDate
&& MONTH ( [Date] ) = MONTH ( prevDate )
)
)
VAR _lastDate =
MAXX ( ALLSELECTED ( Table ), [Date] )
VAR _LYDate =
DATE ( YEAR ( _lastDate ) - 1, MONTH ( _lastDate ), DAY ( _lastDate ) )
RETURN
IF (
currDate >= _LYDate
&& currDate <= _lastDate,
DIVIDE ( cMonth - pMonth, pMonth )
)

@Anonymous , With help from a date tbale used in formula and visual
a measure
Rolling 12 = CALCULATE(sum(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESINPERIOD('Date'[Date ],MAX(Sales[Sales Date]),-12,MONTH))
Rolling Months Formula: https://youtu.be/GS5O4G81fww
Thanks for the reply. I want to calculate month over month change and show it for last 12 months. I want to calculate the change percent in current month value as compared to previous month value and return that change for last 12 months
