Bi-Monthly Reports

[successken]

I know how to utilize the timeframe reporting for monthly, quarterly and yearly. Is there a way to set this up for bi-monthly?

How would you like to set that for bi-monthly? I believe some tricky measures can achieve your goal. Please be more specific on your scenario.

My intention is to create a MTD scenerio but based on a bi-monthly basis. For example: instead of a MTD for August and a MTD for September I would like to create a timeframe Bi-MTD for August and September. This will be used for sales, units and other measurable stats.

Try a measure as

Measure =
CALCULATE ( SUM ( Table2[amt] ), PREVIOUSMONTH ( 'Table2'[Date] ) )
    + CALCULATE ( SUM ( Table2[amt] ), DATESMTD ( 'Table2'[Date] ) )

You could try using a calculated column for something like "Last 15 days" and then use that column as a filter for your data.
