Not capturing values using dateadd
Hi,
So I was comparing the current value (Opportunity) and the value 3 months prior (PrevQuarterOPP) using the dateadd function but its not getting the correct value or should I say its not capturing the value. See screenshot below
When I checked the data source. I found out that Decision Period column changed inputs for the 2 months i'm comparing. The Decision Period changed from PD12 FY23 to PD6 FY24
Current Filter - Updated Month (January 2023)
Year - FY23, FY24
I wanted to display the value even if the Decision Period Change

nolan0716 , dateadd need continuous dates, so in case you need to add days, just add it to date
[Date] + 10
For month or year you can use Date function
Date(Year([Date]), Month([Date])+2 , Day([Date]) )
Dateadd and its Alternate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qiRivlBv8w&list=PLPaNVDMhUXGaaqV92SBD5X2hk3TMNlHhb&index=66
Hi nolan0716 ,
You can try code as below to create a measure.
PreviousQuarterOPP = VAR _SELECTDATE = MIN ( 'TableName'[Updated Month] ) VAR _RangeStart = EOMONTH ( _SELECTDATE, -4 ) + 1 RETURN CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'TableName'[Opportunity] ), FILTER ( ALL ( 'TableName' ), 'TableName'[Updated Month] >= _RangeStart && 'TableName'[Updated Month] < _SELECTDATE ) )Best Regards,
