Hi there,
Please I need some urgent help. I am trying to calculate my quantity values where I duplicate a value for friday to reflect on saturday as well. Here is a sample data
Data:
Date | Category | qty |
3/27/2022 | a | 2,000 |
3/27/2022 | b | 2,050 |
3/27/2022 | c | 3,100 |
3/26/2022 | b | 2,600 |
3/26/2022 | c | 3,000 |
3/25/2022 | a | 1,000 |
3/25/2022 | b | 1,500 |
3/25/2022 | c | 2,300 |
Current results without the category column:
Date | qty |
3/27/2022 | 7,150 |
3/26/2022 | 5,600 |
3/25/2022 | 4,800 |
Expected results if we duplicate every Friday value for category a only to add on Saturdays as well:
Date | qty | Comments |
3/27/2022 | 7,150 | |
3/26/2022 | 6,600 | 5,600 +1,000 from 3/25 which is a friday |
3/25/2022 | 4,800 |
Please thank you very much.

Hi @yve214
not sure if I fully understand the requirement. However, please try
Total Qty =
VAR CurrentValue =
SUM ( TableName[qty] )
VAR PreviousValue =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( TableName[qty] ),
'Date'[Date]
= MAX ( 'Date'[Date] ) - 1,
TableName[Category] = "a"
)
RETURN
IF (
MAX ( 'Date'[Week Day Name] ) = "Saturday",
CurrentValue + PreviousValue,
CurrentValue
)
