    Hi anony711

     

    This looks like getting the 12 month running total for every month, right? Assume you have a Date column, you can add a column to have those labels based on the Date column. For example, 

    Period = FORMAT(EOMONTH([Date],-12)+1,"mmm yyyy") & " - " & FORMAT([Date],"mmm yyyy")

    Sort this new column by "YearMonthNumber" column, then use it on the X-axis. Create a measure to calculate the value you want to put on Y axis.
