Last 3 months from 3 years ago

[mboucher_rcr]

Hi,

I have the below formula to give me total qty sold over the last 3 months.

Qty L3 = CALCULATE (

[TotalSalesQty],

DATESINPERIOD (

'Date'[Date],

EOMONTH(TODAY(),-1),

-3,

MONTH

))

What I need now is to get the total quantity sold for that same 3 month period, from 3 years ago. I've tried a range of things using parallelperiod, datesinperiod and datesbetween but just can't seem to get the results.

One I have tried is the below but it returns no data:

Qty L3 -3Yrs = CALCULATE (

[TotalSalesQty],

DATESINPERIOD (

'Date'[Date], 

EOMONTH(TODAY(),-36), 

-3, 

MONTH

))

Thanks,

Michael

@mboucher_rcr , You have all the required dates in the date table. measn dat table should have date for at least last 39 month 

date table is marked as date table.

The date in fact do not have timestamp

I do seem to have a date table problem.

When I select the date table "Date" field to show on the report by itself, I see all dates from 1/1/2000 onwards.

If I select to show the date field from my sales data table by itself, I see all dates from when data began on 1/7/2007.

But when I select both date fields, the results are suddenly limited to starting at 1/7/2019.

What could be causing this limitation?

Never mind I have found the issue, it was the joins with some other tables that had data starting on 1/7/2019. Thanks!
