Hello,
I am trying to create measures that show calculations for current / previous periods.
I'm in accounting, and we work in periods, so the "current" month is not always the current period. Year-end is June 30th, so we are in period 12 now, but would like to display results for May, period 11.
I would like to create a measure that specifies 2016011 as the period I would like the report to consider current, I can then update this to 2016012 when required.
I know I can use CALCULATE( [measure] , Period = 2016012 ) , but I have lots of such measures, so would like an alternative.
Any advice appreciated.
Thanks
Rich
