Calculate until last month

[Anonymous]

Hi All,

I'd like to create a Balance Sheet, where the first column would be the total amount until previous month using a filter selection with any month. 

For example: If a filter the page by the month of January-2019, the total amount I'd like to see in the first column is the total amount ever until December-2018. But it always change as I change the month filter.

Can anybody help how I can create this total amount column (measure) until last month?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi,

Try this

NewMeasure = CALCULATE ([Your Measure], DATESBETWEEN(CALENDAR[Date],MINX(ALL(Calendar[Date]),Calendar[Date]),MIN(CALENDAR[Date])-1))

Hope this helps.

Hi @Anonymous

You can use DATEADD with a Date table related to your fact table to have your measure compute over the previous month. Something like:

NewMeasure = CALCULATE ([Your Measure], DATEADD('Date'[Date],-1,MONTH))

Thanks for your reply!

I understand, but it shows only the previous month, but what I excatly need is that the total amount before the selected month, not only the previous but all of the previous months amounts!

Thanks!

@Anonymous,

No sample data, so suppose the slicer and amount data is in same table, to be general, you may also try measure below:

Result =
VAR Selected_Month =
    MONTH ( SELECTEDVALUE ( Table[Date] ) )
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( Table[value] ),
        FILTER ( Table, MONTH ( Table[Date] ) <= Selected_Month - 1 )
    )

What if I want to calculate amount until the end of the last december. So on the slicer I chose one month, than the calculation should be until the end of last year december!!

@Anonymous,

You may try measure below:

Result =
VAR Selected_Year =
 YEAR ( SELECTEDVALUE ( Table[Date] ) )
RETURN
 CALCULATE (
 SUM ( Table[Value] ),
 FILTER ( Table, YEAR ( Table[Date] ) <= Selected_Year - 1 )
 )

Ah ok. Then try:

NewMeasure =
CALCULATE (
    [Your Measure],
    FILTER ( ALL ( 'Date' ), 'Date'[Date] < MIN ( 'Date'[Date] ) )
)
