Hello!
I have a date table and a table that has a breakdown of # of clients by month end. I want to be able to pull the sum of the previous year-end number of clients based on the date selected in the slicer.
I have this formula that works currently, but I'd like to make it dynamic so that I can look at this coming year and last year, rather than having the date hard-coded which means that I can only look at one year in my slicer.
Clients YE 23 = CALCULATE(SUM(Client_Table [SUM (Clients)]),
FILTER(
ALL('Date'[Month end]),
'Date'[Month end] = DATE(2023,12,31)
))
Solved! Go to Solution.
Try this measure:
Clients Previous YE =
VAR vSelectedYear =
YEAR ( MAXX ( ALLSELECTED ( 'Date' ), 'Date'[Date] ) )
VAR vResult =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( Client_Table[SUM (Clients)] ),
'Date'[Month End]
= DATE ( vSelectedYear - 1, 12, 31 )
)
RETURN
vResult
