Calculating Sell-In since a specific launch date - NEED PRECIOUS HELP

floppy_fish — Tue, 27 Apr 2021 19:56:01 GMT

Hi the community !

I need your help to solve this problem where I'm stuck in my company :

- I tried to calculate how many units (sell-in) has been sold by UPC since their launch date for the first 12 months

- Each UPC may been launch in a different month (Jan, Feb..) et a different year (2020, 2019, 2018...)

So far I came with this formula but it still doesn't work :

SI by LT =

CALCULATE(

SUMX(BOOST_Sell_In,BOOST_Sell_In[Sell In (UN)]),

DATESINPERIOD(Dates[Date],

MIN('Launch Timing'[Date of Launch]),

12,MONTH))

For your info :

Tab boost_Sell_in = Sell In

Tab Launch Timing = It's the tab with the launch date by UPC.

Your help will be really appreciate on this !

Many thannnks !

floppy_fish , this seems correct. Hope your displaying data by UPC and dates has been marked as date tbale

CALCULATE(
SUM(BOOST_Sell_In[Sell In (UN)]),
DATESINPERIOD(Dates[Date],MIN('Launch Timing'[Date of Launch]),12,MONTH))

Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.

Hi, floppy_fish

Please check the below picture and the sample pbix file's link down below.

My sample is to find the first 120 days sales qty after the first launching date.

I hope you can apply a similar logic to your case.

If you can share your sample pbix file's link, I can try to have a look and come up with more relevant measures.

In my fact table, you can see that I created a new column, which is the most important step in this case. Once this new column is created, then the next steps will become quite easy to move forward.

Hi Jihwan_Kim

First of all, thank you so much for your help and the pbi exemple provide ! All my team are happy to feel support by you ! It's really appreciated..

Unfortunaly it doesn't work with our dataset... To avoid sharing sensible data, i provide you via this link below an exemple of the two main table where I'm working with (we have also a calendar table).

https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/yhyqe4phcyrsdwakte6k6/Exemple_Sell-In-Since-launch_data.xlsx?dl=0&rlkey=zsb9rq1dl02hpof47bsv4ufzm

If the link doesnt work let me know if i can send you info by email ?

Tge goal is to have by month how much Sell-In we cumulated since the first date of launch...

The date of launch is on a other table...

But maybe if it takes into account the first date of sell-in in the boost tab it could works ?

Thanks again for your help !

Hi, floppy_fish

Thank you for sharing the data.

I am not sure if I understood your question correctly. The first question was comparing the first 12 months' cumulative values of each item that has a different starting date.

I think your sample has the same starting date, and I am not sure if I needed to write measures to consider the different starting dates.

I just created a cumulate sum line chart, and please have a look whether it is what you are looking for.

Hey Jihwan_Kim

Thanks for replying so fast !

Yes it's my mistake... Please find below an update of the file with correcting value :

https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/njdr7668670gmkk53qfsd/Exemple_Sell-In-Since-launch_data.xlsx?dl=0&rlkey=zu4p10k2ueoykfhk14wmz5au7

What I need is :

- Look All Sell-In by UPC since their date of launch for the next 12 Months.

- All UPC have a different launch date.

- I need to take the launch date in an other tab to do it !

Sorry if it was not clear...

I guess I need a formula with a MIN or EARLIER (but this one I don't know how to use it correctly)...

Thanks again for your help !!!

Hi, floppy_fish

Please check the below picture and the link down below.

One additional calculated column has been created in BoostSellIn table.

I think this column is the critical column in this case, because this column is used as X-Axis in the line chart.

Hi Jihwan_Kim !

I don't know how to thank you, but it's finaly working !!

You can't imagine how many happiest person you made with your precious help !

In the same time you learn me a lot... I never use "EARLIER" and "DATEDIFF", and try to understand their specific use, compare to MIN by exemple...

Again, thank you so much for offering your help !

I wish you all the best 🙂
