Previous Month with problems

[dcrios]

Hello everybody,

I faced many times people trying to bring values from the previous month. But in my case, I was trying to bring de last date from previous month, like the formula in this link

https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Last-date-Previous-Month/m-p/304830

But when I try this formula to get this value, didn't work as well when I put the measure in a Column chart. It must be appear the value from the date 30-11-2017 (9.057.180.489.18). Can anyone please help me with this?

did you have any page leve/report level filters applied?

[dcrios]

No, it doesn't. I just created in a new Dashboard to test this formula

is this what you are trying?

[dcrios]

No. I tried to explain that I want to show the last date from previous month, like in the formula I posted in the first post. So if I got 01-12-2017 as my current date in the database and all dates from november, I want to show the value of 30 nov 2017 because Its the last date from previous month.

Hi,

So if the last date in your Data Table is March 10, 2018, then do you want to see a single column in the column chart with the value from Feb 28, 2018?  If the answer is yes, then what result would you expect if in your Data Table, there is no data at all for Feb 28, 2018?

Oh ty @Ashish_Mathur I already did what I need. I created a filter to the current and the previous month and putted on the sheet. So in the measure, I created a DAX calculation with calculate(sum(measure), lastdate(date)) and it worked fine for me. But thanks for replying this question. Have a great day
