How to fix the previous month dataset figure without being changed in subsequent monthly data refres

[Anonymous]

Hi Power BI guru,

I finised developed a report successfully last month and moved to production.

The problem arised this month when I performed data refresh and one of my report object, which track past month to month figure had been changed. This is not allow because the previous month figure should remain the same.

Problem is because I have a logic to determine the compliance status of a vehicle. The 3rd if statement check if the "Status Reqistration Expir" date is before TODAY's DATE, then the assigned to "Non-compliant"

Hence, when I refresh the report last month on June 3rd 2019 with dataset Nov 2018 to June 2019, the report shown....

If I run this report on today date 06/08/2019 (still based on the same dataset (Nov 2018 to Jun, i.e. November 2018 to July 2019), the output of this report become….

Question: how do you make use M query to ensure when I compare the "Status Reqistration Expir" date is before TODAY's DATE, the past monthly figure remain the same. Hence, if I refresh the report on 06/08/2019, this reporting view monthly figure still remain as the first figure? (FYI, the today's date keep changing).

Thanks.

Hai.,

Instead of today date ., you have to take max  date of every month.

you have to create calendar table then you have to arrive max date of every month like below measure.

DateToConsider = MAX('Calendar'[Date])

Hi Siva,

The business requirements is based on today's date.

And this today's date of this month will be different to the date of previous month todays' date.

This is the problem. Do you know.
