Sales compared to the same period of the previous month

[Syndicate_Admin]

Hello to the whole community,

I have a problem. I try to fit the sales of the previous month with respect to the day of this month. That is, show the accumulated sales from 01/08 to 05/08.

I have a relationship as follows, on the one hand the sales date and a calendar table.

I use the following formula to generate the calculation:

Cumulative Sales Previous Month =

CALCULATE (

CALCULATE (

[Sales*],

DATEADD (

FILTER (

DATESMTD ( 'Calendar Table II'[Date] ),

'Calendar Table II'[Date] <= TODAY ()

),

-1,

MONTH

)

),

FILTER ( 'Calendar Table II', 'Calendar Table II'[Date] <= TODAY () )

)

}

I am not surprised by the result.

It should be noted that I use the same formula for other calculations and it does walk.

Hi,

See if this measure works?

=calculate([Sales*],datesbetween('Calendar Table II'[Date],EOMONTH(TODAY(),-2)+1,EDATE(TODAY(),-1)))

Hope this helps.
