Need help with getting wrong data in the graph

Pk8524 — Wed, 05 Jun 2024 09:59:10 GMT

I am creating a dax measure called: "New Customers Sales Cumulative" which creates on the go a table

CustomerOrdersFinal which looks like this:

In the last line of code of this measure I refer to column Rolling, but when I am using this measure in the graph

it seems it takes data from SalesByYear:

Why despite the fact that I am referring to rolling column, the graph takes data from SalesByYear?

Hi Pk8524 ,

Power BI visuals automatically aggregate and display data based on the available context and dimensions used in the visual.

The EARLIER function is context-dependent and may not work as expected in the function.

An alternative available is to replace the fields in the chart with Year and Rolling from the New Customers Sales table.

The visual will look like this:

Hi!

The issue with your solution is that I need to make it dynamically (not static).

By changing the parametr, the graph should be updated. This is why the tables are created 'on the go' in the measure using dax. I have made the dax measure a little bit simplier and now it looks as follows:

New Customers Sales **bleep** = VAR CustomerOrders = SUMMARIZE( Orders, Orders[Klient_Nazwa], Orders[Data Zamówienia], "Year", YEAR(Orders[Data Zamówienia]), "TotalSales", SUM(Orders[Sprzedaż]), "TotalOrdersByClient", CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(Orders[ ID Zamówienia]), ALLEXCEPT(Orders, Orders[Klient_Nazwa])) ) Var CustomerOrdersFiltered = FILTER( CustomerOrders, [TotalOrdersByClient] <= 'Customer Segmentation 2'[Customer Segmentation 2 Value]) Var CustomerOrdersFilteredGrouped = GROUPBY( CustomerOrdersFiltered, [Year], "SalesbyYear", SUMX(CURRENTGROUP(), [TotalSales])) Var CustomerOrdersFinal = ADDCOLUMNS( CustomerOrdersFilteredGrouped, "Rolling", SUMX( FILTER( CustomerOrdersFilteredGrouped, [Year] <= EARLIER([Year]) ), [SalesbyYear] ) ) Return SUMX(CustomerOrdersFinal, [Rolling])

As the issue is with EARLIER function how I can replace it in this context in order to have Rolling sum for all previous years?
