📊 WHAT IS POWER BI?
Power BI is a business analytics tool by Microsoft. It creates a working environment suited for normal users, meaning tasks such as data extraction, cleansing, analysis and storytelling; these are made easily-accessible to citizen-users, and extendable for technical users. At face value it provides visually-stunning, interactive dashboards, but it’s built on top of so much more.

Hi, nice session. What happens when i drill up the MoM to see Data on X axis with Months or vice-versa

[fumaremiocazzo]

Hi and thanks for all the content you share. What if I want to compare January to every other month and get the % of change between Jan and other months in the particular year?

[rahamatmadarangi]

Great video, Is there a way we can see Pervious year data and next to that we see the current year data

[bzflowerbee]

This is just what I needed but my situation is I want to compare current year monthly to last year monthly and shows the difference in percentage. I can't use 'previousmonth', what should I use to get the previous year monthly? Thanks for your help as always.

[wrqpmgi]

Hello There,
Its explained very well.Thanks
Actually I am having Query that if i have 2 years data i want to show that MOM value for first month of each year should be same as actual but in my case it is taking

it must take January 2023 as it is when i select year 2023 and also for 2022
Could please help on the same.
if required more details please let me know

Nice video, how can we restrict it use only single year, though I have selected a single year as 2021 in the slicer, but still Jan 2021 compares the values with Dec 2020. Is there a way to restrict only selected year ? Jan 2021 should be blank

[alfreddowuona-owoo]

Please how will you do that for a week on week change? Weekday starts from Monday

[sooryaprakashverma]

I am calculating the previous month sales and difference comparing with current and previous month but I get blank values in the column. How it is possible? This previousmonth function is not working for me.

[ahmedalshehabi]

How can you compare Month to Date (MTD) vs. Last Month to Date (LMTD) where the reflection and visualization of data shall be based on the current date TODAY(). Thanks.

[insertnamehere]

there is literally a Quick Measure to do this built into Power Bi.

[sziganmo]

Hello,
I have a questions regaring Day on Day fuction - i understand why BLANKs showed up but is there any way that if we don't have a data from PreviousDay our measuer will take next No Blank value?

Btw thanks for your videos that was a milestone for me :)

[wrqpmgi]

Hi Sir,
Here if we select current year (2021) then it shows current month (Jan 2021) minus previous month (Dec 2022). but i want to show that if i select current year it will show same value for 1st month that is Jan 2021 without previous month value?
can you tell us how to do it?
if anyone here knows it they can help me
thanks in advance

[safirahvandermeer]

I just have one metric I want to do this for so example; I don't use 'quantity x price', but just 'quantity'. However, I did these steps for one metric (used SUM instead of SUMX ) which works to mimic the same values as the original 'quantity' values, however next step with 'last month' calculation does not work (no values are shown). Tips anyone?

[dnwatson]

What about the Month compared to last year's same month?
