I have a requirement to show the current and previous month TOP 5 records in a graph. The prompts present are Year, Wuarter and Month. Is it wise to pass a variable and subtracting the current month by 1 to get the data of the previous month? Any help would be appreciated!

I have a line chart in which i am showing the cumulative value of the plan and actual and I have a week slicer in which I have the end of every week.
In the line chart, i would like to show the Actual until the filtered week.
I am not sure if that is possible since the slicer of week name is a specific date and not a range, can anyone help me ?
See attached files in the link below the excel file is how i want to be and the PBIX is how it is now.

In a Report Builder table I have to show the value from the last day of the given month, when the month is not expanded.
When the month is expanded, the dates have to show the specific value for that day.
Example is January with values 1 to 31 (same as the day numbers):
When January is expanded, it has to show value 1 on Jan 1.... value 15 on Jan 15... value 31 on Jan 31.
When contracted (and the table only show one row for January), it should show the last day's value of 31
Some months do not have values on all days, so the formula just need to take the last value of that given month
When I use the formula "Last()", then it works half of the time, while for some months, the value extracted is the 3rd or 4th last day of the month - do you know what is wrong here?
Hope above makes sense, and thanks for help.
I think I fixed it my self:
Using Last () formula

How to give points to my self?
I have a simple date table (marked as a Date Table)
the Date column is native to it, the rest are calculated columns.
This issue will be about these of them:
Month Name = FORMAT(Dates[Date], "Mmmm")
Month = Month(Dates[Date])
Both set to "Don't summarize".
I dropped them into value field of a visual out of curiousity, and a curious thing happened - despite "don't summarize" they took MIN form of value to display, but Month Name came out incorrect.
Image 1: 3 out of 4 lines in the column First Month Name are wrong, unlike Month which is fine.
Image 2: added Date to the row fields to check - line by line it's fine, but subtotal still wrong:
Image 3: I filtered Month Name in data view for February, to see which lines are for Month value of 1 - there is none.
This is a blank new report, no measures, no filters - that's all it is.
If someone can explain why this happens, thanks in advance
The columns with "Earliest"/"First"/"Min" are summarizing because they are implicit measures in a matrix visual. Since there are multiple months in one quarter it has to aggregate somehow.
The month name is a text field, so it sorts alphabetically by default. If you want it to sort by month number instead, you can use the Sort by Column feature to sort Month Name by Month.
I am trying to do a Month Over Month review but not all months have data and the users want placeholders for the months with no data. I was trying to use my start and end date parameters but I am not getting anywhere.
I am using SSRS - attempting to use a matrix to show on the left hand side for the rows the Month and the column grouped by current year and prior year which is generated from my date parameters. I have four date parameters; a current year star, current year end, prior year start and prior year end.
I can get the matrix to populate if the prior year has data for a month that the current year does not and vice versa but I cannot get the data to populate with a placeholder for a month with no data.
Has anyone had success doing this without using a CTE?
I'm writing a report that has proposal information by estimator per month. So I created a matrix where each row is grouped by estimator and each column is grouped by the month.
The thing is, my query includes data for this year AND last year, but the columns by month should only contain this year's information. So I though simple, I'll create a filter: Year(variable_date) = Year(Today()).
When I do this, no record information shows up. But then I changed the column to group by month AND year and suddenly, it works. Only 2015 records show up in the calculations per month.
Why did I need to group it by month AND year? Why couldn't I just group by month and have the filter remove records that didn't have the correct year using the filter group property tab?
Thanks!
P.S. I hope I have the tags right...
It sounds like month and year are separate fields. So when you group only by month it is grouping all of the rows where the value for that field is the same. (Month=8 exists in 2014 and 2015.) The values are just numbers to SSRS and it doesn't know it needs to look at the year field too unless you tell it to.
