Hi all,
I am trying to compare multiple projects to see when (and how frequently) certain items are occurring during the course of a project.
One project may have started in 2017, another may have started in 2019, and I'd like to be able to count how many times certain events occurred in say month 4 or month 5 or month 6 of each project, as they roughly last the same amount of time.
I have the Project name and the Received Date of the event. So one idea was to create a column to "lookup" which contains the year and month
Lookup = format('Data'[Received Date],"YYYY-MM")
Using that Lookup, column, I tried to use RankX to rank each month by project.

Hi @jameschung ,
It sounds like you need to know how many months there are between the start date of a project and the data of a transactions/event.
The DAX function DATEDIFF should be able to help.
the sample data didn't indicate what your data model is, so i have to make some assumptions. I assume you have a project table, which has a column for start date. then you have a transactions table. You might be able to add a column to the transactions table to show how many months since start date this event happened. Use your lookup to add a column for the start date, then you can use datediff to get the month number of the project.
Month of Project = DATADIFF('Data'[Start Date],'Data'[Recieved Date],Month)

Thanks @nhoward. I hadn't considered that approach and it's useful for another problem I was having too! Much appreciated.
