Based on Invoice Date filter, create two separate columns
Hi,
I need a help in creating below two columns using DAX
I have a calculated column for "Net Change in Cost $", and using this column I have to create below two columns
1. Net Change in Cost $ - Full Date
2. Net Change in Cost $ - Last 4 Weeks
These two columns are based on Invoice Date visual filter
1. Net Change in Cost $ - Full Date
In this we have to use all transactions that fall within date range specified by Invoice Date filter and sum Net Change in Cost $ column.
Eg - if Invoice Date filter is set to 1/2/2021 ~ 11/30/2021, use all 2021 transactions
2. Net Change in Cost $ - Last 4 Weeks
In this we have to use transactions with Invoice Date within the 4 weeks leading up to end date which is specified by Invoice Date filter.
Eg if Invoice Date filter is set to 5/1/2021 ~ 12/24/2021, the end date is 12/31/2021 so include transactions with Invoice Date between 11/26/2021 and 12/24/2021
Also, if Invoice Date filter is set to 4 weeks, then both these columns should have same value.
Any help on this will be appreciated.
Dear apatwal
Columns do not have access to the filter context and hence cannot read any filter. However, you can achieve the same by creating two measures as the values of a matrix visual sliced by transaction number or any other column.
Supposing that the date filter will come only from the slicer (meaning it is not part of the visual) then the first measure can be:Net Change in Cost $ - Full Date = CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table'[Net Change in Cost $] ), ALLSELECTED ( 'Table'[Invoice Date] ) )For the 2nd measure try
Net Change in Cost $ - Last 4 Weeks = VAR EndtDate = MAX ( 'Table'[Invoice Date] ) VAR StartDate = EndtDate - 28 VAR Result = CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table'[Net Change in Cost $] ), FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[Invoice Date] < EndtDate && 'Table'[Invoice Date] >= StartDate ) ) RETURN ResultPlease let me know if works. If so kindly mark my reply as accepted solution. Thank you!

Hi tamerj1
Thanks for your reply!
I have created below two DAX measure:
1st Measure:
Net Change in Cost $ - Full Date Range =
var startdate = MIN('table'[Date])
var enddate= MAX('table'[Date])
RETURN
CALCULATE( SUM(table[Net Change in Cost $]),
DATESBETWEEN('table'[Date],startdate,enddate) )
2nd Measure:
Net Change in Cost $ Last 4 Wks =
var startday = MAX('table'[Date])-28
var endday = MAX('table'[Date])
return CALCULATE( SUM('table'[Net Change in Cost $]),
DATESBETWEEN('table'[Date],startday,endday) )
The Date is coming from Date Slicer created in report.
Let me know if I am missing out something here.
Hi apatwal ,
Could you share me a sample .pbix file for test? Please don't contain any sensitive information.
