Dear All,
I have the following task that I kindly ask you to help me with :
column YYYYMM , values across months
Column YYYYMM is separated from date.
I want to calculate the value of previous month YYYYMM-1 and show it on the chart
PREVIOUS month doesnt help me as its based on date
Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.
HI @alextarki,
You can try this measure formula if it meets your requirement:
Measure =
VAR currYM =
MAX ( Table[YearMonth] )
VAR prevDate =
DATE ( LEFT ( currYM, 4 ), RIGHT ( currYM, 2 ) - 1, 1 )
VAR prevYM =
YEAR ( prevDate ) * 100
+ MONTH ( prevDate )
RETURN
CALCULATE (
SUM ( Table[Amount] ),
FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( Table ), [YearMonth] = prevYM )
)

Did this work for anyone ? I have tried the suggested measure definition exactly but still getting BLANKs for all the months. Been searching about this for a couple of days now. I am unabe to use PREVIOUSMONTH() becasue I do not have a proper date column with contiguous dates.
Thanks
How can I build the entire previous month value?
