Prior Date with Data

YABOUSALEH — Mon, 30 May 2022 16:56:13 GMT

Hello,

I need to find the prior date with data as a measure,

Two tables, 1 is a Calander table and 1 is a Lines table,

Column Date comes from Calander, column Volume (Measure) comes from Lines

It has to be measure only, I am connected to a data-set and cannot create a calculated column,

This doesn't work:
CALCULATE(CALCULATE(MAX(Lines[Date]), DATEADD(Dates[Date],-1,DAY)), FILTER(Lines, [Volume]>0))

The result needed:

Any guidance is appreciated,

Cheers,

Hi,

Try this :

var actualdate=SELECTEDVALUE('Date'[Date])

return

calculate(max('Date'[Date]),'Date'[Date]<actualdate,Lines[Volume]>0)

Hi YABOUSALEH

please try

Prior Date with Volume = MAXX ( FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( Lines ), [Volume] > 0 && 'Date'[Date] < MAX ( 'Date'[Date] ) ), 'Date'[Date] )

This is great, almost perfect, thank you, slightly modified, used the calander table instead,

Original:

Modified:

MAXX ( FILTER ( ALLSELECTED(Dates), [Volume] > 0 && Dates[Date] < MAX ( Dates[Date] ) ), Dates[Date] )

This might be nitpicking, any chance dates outside the filters would populate?

Great if possible, can do without,

PS. I confirmed your response as an answer, would you just modify the code to Dates (or Calander) instead of Lines, for consistency to the next person 🙂

Cheers
