Hi Max,
If your report is based on a data module this is a typical case for measure filters aka relative date calendar in combination with a parameter. If you are considerinfg this I can share an example of an according filter.
Best,

I think this should work.
IF
(
_MAKE_TIMESTAMP(
CAST( SUBSTRING( Period, 1, 4 ), INTEGER ),
CAST( SUBSTRING( Period, 5, 2 ), INTEGER ),
1
)
=
_ADD_MONTHS(
_MAKE_TIMESTAMP(
CAST( SUBSTRING( ?pMonth?, 1, 4 ), INTEGER ),
CAST( SUBSTRING( ?pMonth?, 5, 2 ), INTEGER ),
1
)
, -1 )
) THEN ( Sales ) ELSE ( 0 )

Hi,
I am working on creating a report where I need to display sales for the current month in one column (which I can easily do using the following expression):
TOTAL(IF(Period = ?pMonth? THEN (Sales) ELSE (0)))
However, I am struggling with how to write an expression for displaying sales from the previous two months. For example, if the selected month (pMonth) is '202501', I would like to show the sales for '202411'. Could anyone kindly assist me with writing this expression for the last month's data?
