Filters in the Calculation function
Hello,
I am new here. I have a measure created below:
OP_Act = CALCULATE(sum('OP - Data'[Fcst_Act]), 'OP - Data'[Fcst Type]="Actual", 'OP - Data'[OP_date] < date (2018,5,15) )
Every month, I have to manually update the filter -e.g. date (2018,5,15) to date (2018,6,15 ). I have many similar measures. I'd like to create a new measure like
OP_Act = CALCULATE(sum('OP - Data'[Fcst_Act]), 'OP - Data'[Fcst Type]="Actual", 'OP - Data'[OP_date] < [Control_date]).
As long as I update [Control_date] only, the changes can be applied to many measures. Is there any way I can do? Why I can use now() but not a specifc date I created?
Thanks,
Hi tchen0,
You just need to create a measure for [Control_Date].
Control_Date = DATE(2018,5,15)
By the way, the correct formula should be:
OP_Act =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( 'OP - Data'[Fcst_Act] ),
FILTER (
'OP - Data',
'OP - Data'[Fcst Type] = "Actual"
&& 'OP - Data'[OP_date] < [Control_Date]
)
)Best regards,
