Calculating Same Period Last Month !!!

[mamunabdullah]

Hi Geniuses, 

I have created a measure to calculate MTD sales of my product category now I want to calculate sales of same premiod last month to compare. My Dax formula is returning the same result as current month MTD. 

PREMIUN SPLM = CALCULATE([MTD PREMIUM Sales],

DATESBETWEEN('Calendar'[Date],DATE(YEAR( TODAY() ), MONTH( TODAY() )-1, 01), TODAY()-30 )

)

Can you please help me how I can fix this?

Hey @mamunabdullah ,

is that still ongoing or could you solve the issue?

If it's still unsolved you have to upload the file again as it expired.

Hey @mamunabdullah ,

I downloaded the file and don't see anything you showed on the first post in the file.

Can you explain again what you are trying to do, what is the result and what you expect as a result?

Maybe prepare the file, that I only have to open it and see your case.

Best regards

Denis

Hi @selimovd,

Sorry I might have renamed those measures which makes them difficult for you to understand !

Below measure #1 is what returns the sales quantity in current month and measure #2 is what I expect to return sales quantity of same period last month and change in percentage. 

Measure #1
MTD PREMIUM Sales Installed = CALCULATE([PREMIUM Sales],

DATESBETWEEN('Sales Report'[Installation Date],

DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY()),01),TODAY()

)

)

Measure #2

MTD PREMIUM Sales SPLM =

VAR SPLM = CALCULATE([MTD PREMIUM Sales Installed],PARALLELPERIOD('Calendar'[Date],-1,MONTH))

RETURN

DIVIDE([MTD PREMIUM Sales Installed]-SPLM,SPLM)

TIA

Hi @mamunabdullah ,

Try this measure:

PREMIUN SPLM=  

CALCULATE([MTD PREMIUM Sales],

PREVIOUSMONTH(DATESMTD('Calendar'[Date])))

Mark this as a solution if I answered your question.

Kudos are always appreciated.

Thanks

Hi @Tanushree_Kapse,

It didn't work either. Returned the same value as current month. 

Thanks
