Headcount

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!

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.

If you want to handle this with DAX, refer to the following post

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.
