Measure dependent on time

Hi,

 

Is there any way to  perform Measure with a variable that will go on loop for last 6 months ?

 Example :

Measure  formula is : runs/  (value in nth month). 

How will it look in table  or dashboard :

month -6(nov,2021)month-5(dec,2021)month-4(Jan)month-3(Feb)month-2(March)current month(April)
456575859540

 

Here the months will be changing  based on live data and so will the values indifferent month.

Hi @FaisalImam ,

 

If your month values are not in a single column, I'd suggest you firstly go to Power Query Editor and use "Unpivot" to transform data:

@Fowmy ,

 

See I will be doing a Measure .

Suppose Measure is : Critical incident in the month/ total incident in the month. Now I need to calculate this and show in the table for the last six months.

We will be extracting data from Snow flake or Service Now for last 6 months and using months in our formula to separate the data on monthly basis.

 

We are going to use live data and hence the months are going to chnge.

 

Example :

For this month :

Table 

MetricsMarch DataFeb Data Jan Data
incident resolution45%36%25%

 

Next Month (May)

MetricsApril dataMarch dataFeb data
incident resolution43%45%36%
