Hi Community,
I am new to Power BI and hence I'd need help with DAX Formulas.
I have two columns 1) Week (the date values are in 7 days interval) 2) Quantity
I would need the Minimum, Maximum and Average of Quantity based on the week column(Precisely past 6 weeks from the current week) - I will be using these aggregates in the Line values in a chart over the weeks. My question is:
1) Do I create a Measure or a new column
2) Syntax of the Dax query would be helpful.
Thanks 🙂
Hopefully this should set you on your way:
SixWeeksHence = lastdate(DATESINPERIOD(quantityTable[Week],calculate(firstdate(quantityTable[sixWeeksPrevious])),7*7,day))
FromDate = FIRSTDATE(DATESINPERIOD(quantityTable[Week],calculate(firstdate(quantityTable[sixWeeksPrevious])),7*7,day))
MinQuant =
MINx(
filter(quantityTable,
quantityTable[Week] < earlier(quantityTable[SixWeeksHence]) &&
quantityTable[Week] >= earlier(quantityTable[FromDate]))
,quantityTable[Quantity])
AvgQuant =
AVERAGEX(
filter(quantityTable,
quantityTable[Week] < earlier(quantityTable[SixWeeksHence]) &&
quantityTable[Week] >= earlier(quantityTable[FromDate]))
,quantityTable[Quantity])
MaxQuant =
MAXX(
filter(quantityTable,
quantityTable[Week] < earlier(quantityTable[SixWeeksHence]) &&
quantityTable[Week] >= earlier(quantityTable[FromDate]))
,quantityTable[Quantity])
