Is Year to Date and Is Year to Previous Month Dax formulae

Giorgi1989 — Thu, 09 Dec 2021 14:32:02 GMT

Dear All,

I have a date table, in which I want to add three columns: IsCurrentMonth,IsYTD, and IsYeartoPreviousMonth

For current month I have the following DAX formula:

IsCurrentMonth =

IF (

YEAR ( 'Date'[Calendar Year/Month Level 01.Key] ) = YEAR ( TODAY () )

&& MONTH ( 'Date'[Calendar Year/Month Level 01.Key] ) = MONTH ( TODAY () ),

"Yes",

"No"

)

Could you please advise what would be the easiest way of doing the same thing for YeartoDate and YeartoPreviousMonth?

Many thanks for your invaluable time and help!

Hi,

Here is one example on how to do this if you want to have these columns:

ISYTD =

var _sdate = DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),1,1)

var _edate = TODAY() return

IF(AND('Calendar'[Date]>=_sdate,'Calendar'[Date]<=_edate),1,0)

ISYTD_LM =

var _sdate = DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),1,1)

var _edate = DATE(YEAR(TODAY()),MONTH(TODAY())-1,1) return

IF(AND('Calendar'[Date]>=_sdate,'Calendar'[Date]<=_edate),1,0)

By the way, typically you wouldn't need these columns due to functions like DATESYTD() and DATEADD() that you can use as filters in measures.

I hope this helps and if it does consider accepting this as a solution!

Hi Giorgi1989

Try these codes:

IsYTD =
IF(
YEAR( 'Date'[Calendar Year/Month Level 01.Key] ) = YEAR( TODAY() )
&& 'Date'[Calendar Year/Month Level 01.Key] <= TODAY(),
"Yes",
"No"
)

IsYeartoPreviousMonth =
IF(
YEAR( 'Date'[Calendar Year/Month Level 01.Key] ) = YEAR( TODAY() )
&& 'Date'[Calendar Year/Month Level 01.Key]
<= DATE( YEAR( TODAY() ), MONTH( TODAY() ) - 1, DAY( TODAY() ) ),
"Yes",
"No"
)
