Hi there,
I am new to PowerBI and cannot make sense of the "CALCULATE" formula.
I am trying to calculate the salesvalues from a different fiscal quarter (fiscal quarter are not dates so all the dates related functions are not possible here).
the data looks like:
FQuarter Amount
20201 $23,456
20202 $22,555
20203 $23,666
20204 $24,777
20211 $25,888
I am trying to do something like : CALCULATE(SUM(Amount), FQuarter=FQuarter-10).
I am probably using the wrong calculation here.
Has anyone got an idea please?
Thanks,
Alex
@Anonymous , Create a new table with FQuarter , year, and other required columns, say date.
Then create a rank on FQuarter
a new column
Qtr Rank = RANKX(all('Date'),'Date'[FQuarter ],,ASC,Dense)
measure examples
This Qtr = CALCULATE(sum('order'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Qtr Rank]=max('Date'[Qtr Rank])))
Last Qtr = CALCULATE(sum('order'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Qtr Rank]=max('Date'[Qtr Rank])-1))
10 qtr behind
Last Qtr = CALCULATE(sum('order'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Qtr Rank]=max('Date'[Qtr Rank])-10))
