Hello
I am new to Power BI and I'm struggling to write a measure which pulls out the HC for the last period of each previous FY to compare against the current FY month.
Can anyone advise please? Sorry if this is a simple query 😞
Thanks!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Anonymous ,
You may create fiscal columns in your calendar table as explained in the below blog post and leverage those columns in your calculations.

Hi @Anonymous ,
You'll need to provide an example of your data and its structure.
This isn't just a generic query/calculation, it will need to be tailored to your data.
