Dax formula

I have the following column I have created in Power BI:  Active & Expired = VAR SelectedQuarter = SELECTEDVALUE('Calender'[Quarter]) VAR SelectedQtrNo = LOOKUPVALUE('Calender'[Qtr No], 'Calender'...

    Hi zameenakarmali ,

     

    Since you only want to present these two columns, but in the previous reply Active/Expired was a measure, this would be difficult to achieve out of context, so I'll provide you with an alternative by recreating an Active/Expired calculated column.


    To do this, I've made some changes to the original data:

    1. Added a Sales column to Table.

    2. A new table named Status has been created:

     

    Then here are the specific steps:

    1. Generate a new table, Table 2, which is the Cartesian product of the tables Table and Quarter.

     

    Table 2 = CROSSJOIN('Table','Quarter')

     

     

    2. Create two new columns for Table 2.

    QuarterNumber = LOOKUPVALUE(Dim_Date[Qtr No],Dim_Date[Quarter],'Table 2'[Quarter])

     

    FinalActive/Expired3 = IF('Table 2'[QuarterNumber]>'Table 2'[End Quarter Number],"Active","Expired")

     

     

    3. Create a new relationship:

    4. Create a measure:

     

    Salesvalue = IF(SUM('Table 2'[Sales])=BLANK(),0,IF(HASONEVALUE('Table 2'[Quarter]),SUM('Table 2'[Sales])))

     

     

    5. Create a slicer using the field Quarter from Table 2 and create a table using the field from Status and Salesvalue.

Hi powerbiuser1111 , 

 

You may need to reset it again, I don't have permission to open your file. Thank you in advance for your efforts.

      Hi  powerbiuser1111 , 

      Please refer to the following steps:

       

      1.Create a new table, use it as a slicer field:

       

      2.Create the relationships:

       

       

      3.Create new measures:

      Selected Quarter2 = LOOKUPVALUE('Dim_Date'[Qtr No],'Dim_Date'[Quarter],MAX('Quarter'[Quarter]))

       

      Active/Expired2 = IF(ISINSCOPE('Quarter'[Quarter]),IF([Selected Quarter2]<CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[End Quarter Number]),REMOVEFILTERS('Dim_Date')),"Active","Expired"))

       

      4.The result is as follows:

       

      By the way, If you want to compare Starting Quarter and End Quarter in your table you can create two more calculated columns:

       

      Start Quarter Number = LOOKUPVALUE('Dim_Date'[Qtr No],'Dim_Date'[Quarter],'Table'[Starting Quarter])

       

      Active/Expired3 = IF('Table'[Start Quarter Number]<'Table'[End Quarter Number],"Active","Expired")

       

      Result:

        Thanks for that, 

         

        If I also have a Sales amount for each contract, and I would like to show just the Sum of Sales for Active and Expired Contracts, how would I do that?
