I need to calculate month over month of Revenue Earned but using Fiscal Year and Month. I'm at a complete loss how to do this since the normal date/time intelligence does not work.
I have a datetable that holds the fiscal information and a table that holds the revenue data. I *simply* just want to show the previous month value and then conditional formatting for an up or down arrow.
I have attached my .pbix here: Revenue
Thank you in advance!

Hi @KMcCarthy9
You can try below measure.
Previous Month Rev =
SUMX(
SUMMARIZE('Datetable','Datetable'[FISCYEAR],'Datetable'[FISCMonthNumber],'Datetable'[FisIndexMonth]),
VAR CurFISCMonthIndex = 'Datetable'[FisIndexMonth]
RETURN
CALCULATE(
SUM('Revenue'[Revenue Earned]),
'Datetable'[FisIndexMonth]=CurFISCMonthIndex-1,
ALL('Datetable')
)
)

Hi @KMcCarthy9
The file you provided is corrupted, and cannot be opened.
But I think using the DATESADD function should solve your problem?
Or you can give the month an index number, such as ( month index = year*12 + month ), and then use the current month index -1 to get the previous month.

@xifeng_L Apologies for the corrupt file. I believe it is now fixed: Revenue PBI
I have a fiscal month index column in my datetable. How would I go about using this in my DAX calc?
I tried the following,which has gotten me the closest, but it doesn't appear to give the previous month, as it's giving the same value.
Previous Month Rev =
var _rev = CALCULATE(SUM('Revenue Breakdown'[Revenue Earned]), 'Revenue Breakdown'[Vendor Type] = "TMO")
RETURN
CALCULATE(
_rev,
DATEADD(vw_AMS_DateTable[CALDAY], -1, MONTH),
ALLEXCEPT(vw_AMS_DateTable, vw_AMS_DateTable[FisIndexMonth]))
