Hello All,
I have a table like below. I would like to create another column for Prior Month which would display previous months value as a column.
KPI Name | Month | Value |
KPI 1 | 7/31/2018 | 100.00 |
KPI 1 | 8/31/2018 | 99.94 |
KPI 1 | 9/30/2018 | 99.97 |
KPI 1 | 10/31/2018 | 100 |
KPI 1 | 11/30/2018 | 99.99 |
KPI 1 | 12/31/2018 | 99.86 |
KPI 1 | 1/31/2019 | 99.90 |
KPI 1 | 2/28/2019 | 100 |
Output like this:
KPI Name | Month | Value | Prior Month |
KPI 1 | 7/31/2018 | 100.00 | 0 |
KPI 1 | 8/31/2018 | 99.94 | 100 |
KPI 1 | 9/30/2018 | 99.97 | 99.94 |
KPI 1 | 10/31/2018 | 100 | 99.97 |
KPI 1 | 11/30/2018 | 99.99 | 100 |
KPI 1 | 12/31/2018 | 99.86 | 99.99 |
KPI 1 | 1/31/2019 | 99.90 | 99.86 |
KPI 1 | 2/28/2019 | 100 | 99.9 |
I used the following DAX query and it doesnt seem to work. Any help would be much appreciated.
Last Month = CALCULATE(FIRSTNONBLANK(Table1[Value],Table1[Value]),DATEADD(Value[Month],-1,MONTH))
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi,
I'm sure there are a few solutions to this.
If we use DATEADD in a measure like
DATEADD won't always work in this example because the dates it works out have to exist in the table. Let's take one case from the table - '30 sept 2018', subtract 1 month from this and we get '30 Aug 2018' (and that date doesn't exist in the table)
What we need is a measure like this :
Is there any way we could do this in Power Query?
Hello @BobiRussell
Thanks for the response. I have both of the values in same table. And "Value" is not a measure I calculated. It is part of the original table.
Oka V-Power,
So this is what I've used
Thank you. I tried to search for the "value" field on my table1 using the calculate but it only lists the calculated measures I had created. Existing fields in the table dont show up for some reason.

Hi v-power
See if this works.
Table Name = should refer to the table that you have the revenue or in your case "Value". The "Table Name[Month]" is your date table either in your facts table or Calendar table. This work for my reporting and should work?
Prior Month = CALCULATE(Table Name[Value], DATEADD(Table Name[Month], -1, MONTH ) )
Best,
Bobi
