calculate measure shows results blank

Anonymous — Fri, 27 May 2022 22:11:09 GMT

Hi,

I created a measure to get the previous value from the slicer below is the measure,

extract =

var q = SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[YYYQQ])

var subs = SUBSTITUTE(q,"Q",0)

var subsn = VALUE(subs)

//return previousquarter

var previousq = CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[quarterYY]),FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[quarterYY] < subsn ))

//return previousq

return previousq

*****

and after passing the above measure in calulate function( below) to obatin value from another colum(YYYQQ) it just gives blank though the value is present. when i hardcode the same value in calculate measure it will works fine.

value =

CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[YYYQQ]),FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[quarterYY]=[extract]))

Below is the simple data set

Anonymous , Create a date table and join it with your date of your Table

hen you can have measures like

QTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESQTD(('Date'[Date])))
Last QTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESQTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,QUARTER)))

Qtr Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESQTD(ENDOFQUARTER('Date'[Date])))

Last QUARTER Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESQTD( ENDOFQUARTER(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,QUARTER))))
Last QUARTER Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),PREVIOUSQUARTER(('Date'[Date])))

Or create a Rank column (again in date column)

Qtr Rank = RANKX(all('Date'),'Date'[Year Qtr],,ASC,Dense) //Sortable Year Qtr

and have measures like
This Qtr = CALCULATE(sum('Table'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Qtr Rank]=max('Date'[Qtr Rank])))
Last Qtr = CALCULATE(sum('Table'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Qtr Rank]=max('Date'[Qtr Rank])-1))

Hi Anonymous ,

Here are the steps you can follow：

1. Create calculated table as slicer.

Table 2 = DISTINCT('Table'[YYYQQ])

2. Create measure.

extract = var q = SELECTEDVALUE('Table 2'[YYYQQ]) var subs = SUBSTITUTE(q,"Q",0) var subsn = VALUE(subs) var previousq = CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[quarterYY]),FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[quarterYY] < subsn )) return previousq

value = CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[YYYQQ]),FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[quarterYY]=[extract]))

3. Result:

Use [YYYQQ] of Table2 as a slicer.
