Hi @rosscortb,

 

I made one sample for your reference. Please check the following steps as below.

 

1. Create a date table, and create relationship between it and the fact table.

 

date = CALENDARAUTO()

2. To create the measure to get the amount of the previous month.

 

Previous = CALCULATE(SUM(Table1[headcount]),DATEADD('date'[Date],-1,MONTH))

Please check the pbix as attached.

Hi @rosscortb

 

Please try this formula. COUNT can be replaced by SUM based on your data nature( if your coulmn already has count then you need to use sum)..

LastMonth Headcount=CALCULATE(COUNT(Table.column1),DATEADD(Dates[Date],-1,MONTH)

 

Thanks

Hi Raj

 

Thanks for your reply. I used your code but it returns the combined total of April to November? 

 

Any ideas?

Is that we see your dataset (so one row per month) or you have an underlying date table with day-by-day data?
