Sales For End of Month 2 Months Ago

[Jkaelin]

Good morning,

I'm trying to capture the sales for a specified date.  Based on the date I select, I want to capture the sales as of the last day in the month (2 months ago).  

For example:  If I select 11/20/2019.  I want to return the sales for 9/30/2019.

For example: If I select 12/1/2019.  I want to return the sales for 10/31/2019.  

For example:  If I select 1/1/2020.  I want to return the sales for 11/30/2019.

I've tried several iterations but unable to get it to work.  I do have a date table.  An example below of a measure that did not work.

=CALCULATE(Sum(sales),Filter(All(Date),Date=EOMONTH(DATe,-2)

Thank you!

The first example seems wrong. Seem like you want 60 days behind

2 Months behind Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),dateadd('Date'[Date],-2,Month))
60 Days behind Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),dateadd('Date'[Date],-60,Day))

@amitchandakHi, thank you for your help.  Your response is close.  It's providing a trailing value, either exactly 2 months ago or exactly 60 days ago.  I'm trying to find the "End of Month" value for 2 months ago.  

So for example:  Today (1/21/2020) - I want to pull the sales for (11/30/2019).

Any tips?

Kindly - James

Hi Guys, thank you again for your help.  I have figured out the correct solution for my custom needs.  

It's CALCULATE (sum(Sales),PreviousDay(DATEADD('Date'[Date],-1,Month)))

Thank you again very much.  Best regards - James

Hi @Jkaelin ,

Try this one (check table names and set proper ones if needed):

measure =
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( 'Table name'[sales] ),
    FILTER ( ALL ( 'Date' ), 'Date'[Date] = EOMONTH ( 'Date'[Date], -2 ) )
)

Please consider, following format for DAX calculations:

'Table' - for tables mention table in apostrophes

'Table'[Column] - for columns you need to mention table name (in an aforementioned format) and a column name with square brackets

[Measure] - measure name with square brackets without table name

@zoloturu  Hi, thank you for the response.  I appreciate the help.  It appears the formula you provided is the same formula I posted in my question.  For whatever reason, that doesn't work.  

Best regards, James
