Calculating Sell-In since a specific launch date - NEED PRECIOUS HELP

Hi the community ! 

 

I need your help to solve this problem where I'm stuck in my company : 

 

- I tried to calculate how many units (sell-in) has been sold by UPC since their launch date for the first 12 months 

- Each UPC may been launch in a different month (Jan, Feb..) et a different year (2020, 2019, 2018...) 

 

So far I came with this formula but it still doesn't work : 

 

SI by LT =

CALCULATE(

SUMX(BOOST_Sell_In,BOOST_Sell_In[Sell In (UN)]),

DATESINPERIOD(Dates[Date],

MIN('Launch Timing'[Date of Launch]),

12,MONTH))

 

For your info : 

 

Tab boost_Sell_in = Sell In 

Tab Launch Timing = It's the tab with the launch date by UPC. 

 

Your help will be really appreciate on this ! 

 

Many thannnks !

Hi, @floppy_fish 

Please check the below picture and the link down below.

One additional calculated column has been created in BoostSellIn table.

I think this column is the critical column in this case, because this column is used as X-Axis in the line chart.

Hi, @floppy_fish 

Please check the below picture and the sample pbix file's link down below.

My sample is to find the first 120 days sales qty after the first launching date.

I hope you can apply a similar logic to your case.

If you can share your sample pbix file's link, I can try to have a look and come up with more relevant measures.

 

In my fact table, you can see that I created a new column, which is the most important step in this case. Once this new column is created, then the next steps will become quite easy to move forward.

Hi @Jihwan_Kim 

 

First of all, thank you so much for your help and the pbi exemple provide ! All my team are happy to feel support by you ! It's really appreciated.. 

 

Unfortunaly it doesn't work with our dataset... To avoid sharing sensible data, i provide you via this link below an exemple of the two main table where I'm working with (we have also a calendar table). 

 

https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/yhyqe4phcyrsdwakte6k6/Exemple_Sell-In-Since-launch_data.xlsx?dl=0&rlk...

 

If the link doesnt work let me know if i can send you info by email ? 

 

Tge goal is to have by month how much Sell-In we cumulated since the first date of launch... 

 

The date of launch is on a other table... 

 

But maybe if it takes into account the first date of sell-in in the boost tab it could works ? 

 

Thanks again for your help ! 

 

 

Hi, @floppy_fish 

Thank you for sharing the data.

I am not sure if I understood your question correctly. The first question was comparing the first 12 months' cumulative values of each item that has a different starting date.

I think your sample has the same starting date, and I am not sure if I needed to write measures to consider the different starting dates.

I just created a cumulate sum line chart, and please have a look whether it is what you are looking for.

Hey @Jihwan_Kim 

 

Thanks for replying so fast ! 

 

Yes it's my mistake... Please find below an update of the file with correcting value : 

 

https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/njdr7668670gmkk53qfsd/Exemple_Sell-In-Since-launch_data.xlsx?dl=0&rlk...

 

What I need is : 

 

- Look All Sell-In by UPC since their date of launch for the next 12 Months. 

- All UPC have a different launch date. 

- I need to take the launch date in an other tab to do it ! 

 

Sorry if it was not clear... 

 

I guess I need a formula with a MIN or EARLIER (but this one I don't know how to use it correctly)... 

 

Thanks again for your help !!!

Hi @Jihwan_Kim !

 

I don't know how to thank you, but it's finaly working !! 

 

You can't imagine how many happiest person you made with your precious help ! 

 

In the same time you learn me a lot... I never use "EARLIER" and "DATEDIFF", and try to understand their specific use, compare to MIN by exemple... 

 

Again, thank you so much for offering your help ! 

 

I wish you all the best 🙂

@floppy_fish , this seems correct. Hope your displaying data by UPC and dates has been marked as date tbale

 

CALCULATE(
SUM(BOOST_Sell_In[Sell In (UN)]),
DATESINPERIOD(Dates[Date],MIN('Launch Timing'[Date of Launch]),12,MONTH))

 

 

Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.
