Paginated Reports - Calculate Previous month same year sales

[Anonymous]

Hi All,

I am having sales & sales_previous columns and date parameter. If I select May 5th, 2020 in parameter, it should display same date sales in sales column and same date previous month sales should display in sales_previous column. 

How can we achieve previous month sales in sales_previous column. Can anyone help me to achieve this scenario in paginated reports.

Regards,

@Anonymous , With Date table and time intelligence

examples

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))))

last MTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,MONTH)))
last month Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),previousmonth('Date'[Date]))
last MTD (complete) Sales =  CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESMTD(ENDOFMONTH(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,MONTH))))
previous month value =  CALCULATE(sum('table'[total hours value]),previousmonth('Date'[Date]))

diff = [MTD Sales]-[last year MTD Sales]
diff % = divide([MTD Sales]-[last year MTD Sales],[last year MTD Sales])

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

Hi Amit,

All DAX functions are not supported in Power BI Report Builder. Calculate & PreviousMonth functions are not available in report builder.

I need the solution in Power BI Report Builder not in Power BI Desktop.

@Anonymous - So you could try the time intelligence function PREVIOUSMONTH.
