Solved! Go to Solution.
hi, @Boudewijn
After my test, you could do these follow my steps as below:
Assume that this is my data model
Step1:
Create a date table and create a Year Month Number column for each data table
Year Month Number = YEAR ( 'Date'[Date] ) * 100 + MONTH ( 'Date'[Date] )
date table
left table
right table
Step2:
then create a measure
Measure = var maxdate=MAX('Date'[Year Month Number]) return
CALCULATE(SUM('LEFT'[Sales]),FILTER('LEFT',maxdate='LEFT'[Year Month Number]))+CALCULATE(SUM('RIGHT'[Sales]),FILTER('RIGHT',maxdate='RIGHT'[Year Month Number])
)Step3:
Drag the date field form date table and the measure into chart visual
