Adding a measure inside a dataset for a Power BI Report Builder report

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I need to manage an existing Power BI Report Builder report.

In particular, I need to change a dataset in order to add a measure that uses the PARALLELPERIOD function in order to calculate

the previous period invoiced.

The dataset exposes the rows having an year and month period, the invoiced amount of the current period and other columns.

At this dataset I've to add a such column:
Invoiced_12m = CALCULATE(SUM(Invoices[Invoiced_amount]), PARALLELPERIOD(Invoices[Periodo], -12, MONTH)).
I've tried to use the default dataset, selecting the columns and the measures of the Invoices table, but no value is returned

for the Invoiced_12m measure. This measure cannot calculate respect to the row context.
I've tried to modify the DAX query inside dataset ( EVALUATE SUMMARIZECOLUMNS(...) ), by introducing the ADDCOLUMNS function, so to determine the Invoiced_12m measure as an added columns, but no value is returned for it.

I think that I need to change the DAX expression in order to make the measure depending on the row context of the Invoices table.

Now, any suggests to me in order to solve this issue, please?

Many thanks

Hi @Anonymous ,

Try to add measure into your visuals directly just like so:

Hi,

but the Invoiced_12m is a measure and not a calculated column added to the Power BI table.
Moreover, the value for this measure isn't calculable respect to the single row context.
Thanks
