Syntax Error for Quarter Date Variable

kl8818 — Thu, 08 Aug 2024 21:05:36 GMT

Hi - could someone explain what was done incorrectly with this measurement? Power BI is stating my syntax for 'StartofQuarter' is incorrect.

Agree / Strongly Agree QTR (%) =

VAR CurrentDate = TODAY()

VAR StartofQuarter =

STARTOFQUARTER(CurrentDate)

VAR EndofQuarter =

ENDOFQUARTER(CurrentDate)

RETURN

CALCULATE('Level 1'[Agree / Strongly Agree (%)],

FILTER('Level 1', 'Level 1'[From Date] >= StartofQuarter && 'Level 1'[From Date] <= EndofQuarter))

Hi kl8818 ,

At my knowledge, the STARTOFQUARTER function expects a date column as an argument, not a single date value.

Please try something like this

Agree / Strongly Agree QTR (%) = VAR CurrentDate = TODAY() VAR CurrentYear = YEAR(CurrentDate) VAR CurrentQuarter = QUARTER(CurrentDate) VAR _StartOfQuarter = SWITCH( TRUE(), CurrentQuarter = 1, DATE(CurrentYear, 1, 1), CurrentQuarter = 2, DATE(CurrentYear, 4, 1), CurrentQuarter = 3, DATE(CurrentYear, 7, 1), CurrentQuarter = 4, DATE(CurrentYear, 10, 1) ) RETURN ***
