compare specific last year month values to current year months

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I have a requirement to compare the count of tickets this year month by month to the count of tickets in December 2019,

so the final result looks like 

and the value of December 2019 to be affected by filters like Country, city,... as if the user needs to compare the number of tickets in the same city in December 2019 to current month for example, anyhelp?

@Anonymous Yes it is possible to achive. Follow below steps

1. Create a measure to sum Dec'19 total

Dec'19 = CALCULATE(SUM(P1&P2),'Calendar'[Year]=2019,month('Calendar'[Date])=12)

2. Use Column Cluster Chart

in values put, Dec'19 and sum(P1&P2), In Axis put date Month and Apply filter to Year = 2020

Final output is below

thanks for your reply, I've done your steps and when I put a filter on the graph to show only months in 2020 the dec'19 measure disappear and it make sense as the date filter applied on the measure itself point to month in 2019 not 2020

@amrashrafyw I'm not sure why it doesn't work. Take a look at the next time. If you're still having trouble, please share your details and then it will help you more.

I've tried it again but added ,ALL('date'[Start of Month])) to be like:

Dec'19 = CALCULATE([P1 & P2],'date'[Year]=2019,'date'[Month]=12,ALL('date'[Start of Month]))

@Anonymous , With a date table

MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD('Date'[Date]))

last year MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-12,MONTH)))

last year MTD (complete) Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD(ENDOFMONTH(dateadd('Date'[Date],-12,MONTH))))

Year behind Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year))

To get the best of the time intelligence function. Make sure you have a date calendar and it has been marked as the date in model view. Also, join it with the date column of your fact/s. Refer :

thanks for your reply, but those measures won't help.

what is required to be implemented: I want to have a column next to each month as shown in the graph,  having the count of tickets in December 2019 and change with filters except the date filter
