Finding the % difference in sales for a product compare to average of the last two years

ScottTynan — Tue, 02 Aug 2022 07:12:33 GMT

Hello All,

I have a dataset of invoice information FY21, FY22 and building up FY23 as we progress through. I need to assess line by line for the F23 data to find the average of the sales for the last two years compared this current period.
I have a date table linked to this revenue table.
Below image is a snip of what I currently have with what I am hoping to be able to produce added to the RHS.
It needs to ignore any filters on the visuals, page and report.

As far as I remember, one cannot ignore filters on the page or/and report level. Not via DAX at least. When you design your reports, you should always be aware of this limitation (or a feature - depending on how you look at this).

This ignores all filters.

Last Invoiced =

var cdate = MAX('Revenue by Period'[Date]) var _result =

CALCULATE(MAX('Revenue by Period'[Date]),'Revenue by Period'[Date]<cdate,ALL('Revenue by Period'[Date])) return

IF(ISBLANK(_result),"NA",_result)

OK, I have googled for it. Yes, it looks like you can override page level filters in a DAX measure 🙂 Looks like my skills are getting a bit rusty 🙂
