How to exclude month from measure

[Anonymous]

I have data for which i created a measure that calculates the difference in revenue per month. 

SUM (revenue)-CALCULATE(SUM(revenue),PREVIOUSMONTH (date).

All 12 months are there but what i want though is to exclude September from that calculation.

Any ideas?

Could you please provide some sample data and the desired results from that sample.

You might just need to apply a filter on your visual to exclude a specific month.

I would rather do it as a measure if possible.

So i have

Month                 Difference

January                    50

February                  20

March                      75

April                        50

May                         10

June                         15

July                           20

August                      25

September                10

October                     15

November                 25

December                 25

So basically what i want is for September to be a the reset point and for the calculation of difference to start fresh. Dont know if i am explaining it clearly. 

Thank you for taking the time to respond. If i didnt make myself clear please let me know and i will provide more details tomorrow

Hi @Anonymous ,

We can use the following measure to meet your requirement:

Difference = 
IF (
    MONTH ( SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[date] ) ) = 9,
    BLANK (),
    IF (
        MONTH ( SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[date] ) ) = 10,
        CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table'[revenue] ) ),
        CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table'[revenue] ) )
            - CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table'[revenue] ), PREVIOUSMONTH ( 'Table'[date] ) )
    )
)

If it doesn't meet your requirement, Please show the exact expected result based on the Tables that you have shared.

Hey! What would the formula look like if you wanted to exclude two months? For example September and June?

Hi @Anonymous ,

We can use the following measure to meet your requirement:

Difference =
VAR skipMonth = { 9, 6 }
RETURN
    IF (
        MONTH ( SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[date] ) ) IN skipMonth,
        BLANK (),
        IF (
            MONTH ( SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[date] ) ) - 1 IN skipMonth,
            CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table'[revenue] ) ),
            CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table'[revenue] ) )
                - CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table'[revenue] ), PREVIOUSMONTH ( 'Table'[date] ) )
        )
    )
