SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR and PREVIOUSMONTH in the same DAX based on slicer? [pbix attached]

Hi Guys,

 

Just started learning Powerbi to create reports for my organization. I have been studying from Avi Singh's videos.

 

I have attached a sample pbix that matches my actual data. I am trying to find a way to see if the below is possible :

 

There are two slicers, one for a month and one for year. I want to see if there can be a DAX that will show me the previous month's value if a particular month is selected from slicer. And if no month is selected, then show me the value of the previous year based on the year slicer.

 

 

Is that possible guys? Here is my power bi file : pbix file

Hi - Please try below. Added one condiiton forr Both condition. You can add to Switch if there is any specific requirement for that. Below will check for Month first and then for Year. Manipulate Switch as per requirement.

Calc_Measure = 
var MonthSelected = not(isblank(SELECTEDVALUE('Date'[Month])))
var YearSelected = not(isblank(SELECTEDVALUE('Date'[Year])))
-- var BothSelected = MonthSelected && YearSelected

return 
SWITCH(True(),MonthSelected,[Value preious month1],YearSelected,[Value previous year],BLANK())

Thanks

Hey @AnkitBI ,

 

Your response was really helpful! It did solve my problem, but i ran into another one. Can you see if you can help me solve it?

 

With your dax in my model, if the year selected is 2019, the data gets shown for 12/31/2018, but that isnt really sameperiodlastyear if you think about it. 2019's data ends at 8/31/2019. So shouldnt i see data for 8/31/2018?

 

I want the model to be dynamic. So if the dataset refreshes at the end of this month and i have data for 9/30/2019. Then it should show 9/30/2018 and so on. Hope you get what i am trying to say.

Ok. I didn't went into these details. I thought you already have done these and looking for how to switch.

Ashish solutions mostly works :). Do check as he has replied on it.

Thank you Ankit.

Thanks Ashish. Your solution mostly worked! I just needed to tweak it a bit to get the right value. Since you had the today() value entered for EOMONTH, it was showing 12 months back data based on today's date but i needed 12 months back data based on the last month of data of 2019.

 

So i did a minor tweak :

Previous value 2 = if(HASONEVALUE('Date'[Month]),CALCULATE([Total value],PREVIOUSMONTH('Date'[Date])),CALCULATE([Total value],DATESBETWEEN('Date'[Date],EDATE(EOMONTH(LASTDATE(Table1[Report Date]),0),-12),EDATE(EOMONTH(LASTDATE(Table1[Report Date]),0),-12))))

You are welcome.  If my reply helped, please mark it as Answer.
