Getting Previous Month Total in Matrix Tablix

  • I'm creating a report that displays data in a Matrix tablix by month and business unit.

    I pretty much have it completed minus one crucial part that I need.

    As you can see in the picture, I have data for 07/2014 and 08/2014. Ending count for 07/2014 is -247. I'm wanting that -247 value to be displayed where the 0 is located right under 08/2014. Once I get the number in place, I'm going to sum that value with the new month's total, giving me an Ending Count.

    I thought I could use the PREVIOUS function, but it only worked for the previous row value, not column value.

    Thanks for any assistance.

  • The LOOKUP function is what popped into my head, but I'm not positive that this will work.

    Thanks, I'll look into that.

    For now as a work around, I created a pivot table and just did a =ReportItems!textbox101.value and it worked just fine, but I rather use a matrix tablix.
