Dax query for previous day value

Hi,

i am writing a measure to find the value based on previous day date. the measure is as follows but it is not displaying the previous day value.

 

weight_prev =
 var prev_date='QUERY3-sensorid_dupl'[refdate_prev]
 VAR weight_prev_value =  CALCULATE ('QUERY3-sensorid_dupl'[weight], 'QUERY3-sensorid_dupl'[REFDATE]=prev_date)
return weight_prev_value

Hi, @raodil 

 

i am not sure but try below

var prev_date='QUERY3-sensorid_dupl'[refdate_prev]

VAR weight_prev_value =  CALCULATE ('QUERY3-sensorid_dupl'[weight], filter('QUERY3-sensorid_dupl','QUERY3-sensorid_dupl'[REFDATE]=prev_date))

return weight_prev_value

 

 

Hi,

 

Nothing is getting displayed , just blank 😞

i can see the prev day date coming but it is not filtering the value based on the previous day date.

Hi @raodil ,

 

I think, you need to remove the filter context. Does it work like this?

weight_prev =
 var prev_date='QUERY3-sensorid_dupl'[refdate_prev]
 VAR weight_prev_value =  CALCULATE ('QUERY3-sensorid_dupl'[weight], ALL('QUERY3-sensorid_dupl'), 'QUERY3-sensorid_dupl'[REFDATE]=prev_date)
return weight_prev_value
 
Let me know! 🙂
