FILTER on second date table

[joshua1990]

Hi community!

I have a sales table and two date tables. The sales table is linked via Date column to both tables.

THen I have a matrix with these sales as a value. Then I have Months selected as columns in matrix from the first date table.

Jan	Feb	Mar	Apr	May	June	...	...	...	...
800	900	400	660	405	350	450	...	...	...

Now I would like to add again Months as a row but from the second date table.

THis selected row determines the last date which should be considered for the matrix:

	Jan	Feb	Mar	Apr	May	June	...	...	...	...
Feb	800	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
Mar	800	900	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
Apr	800	900	400	0	0	0	0	0	0	0

How would you do that with DAX?

Hi @joshua1990 

I've called the 2 date tables DateC (for the one to go on columns) and DateR (for the one to go on rows)

When you create the matrix the filter coming from the column is fine as it is.  Your first table is getting you the correct figures per month.  The issue is the filter coming from the DateR table, so that's what we want to alter.

So, this measure alters that filter:

Sales Triangle = 
CALCULATE(
    SUM(Sales[Amount]),
    DateR[Date] < MIN(DateR[Date])
)

and gives you this result (my base data is different, hence the different amounts)

Hi @joshua1990 ,

According to your description, here are my steps you can follow as a solution.

(1) My test data is the same as yours.

(2)My model relationship is as follows.

(3) We can create two measures. 

Measure = 
var _a = IF(SELECTEDVALUE('CALENDAR Table 2'[Month])>SELECTEDVALUE('CALENDAR Table 1'[Month]) ,
CALCULATE(
    SUM('sale Table'[sales]),
    'CALENDAR Table 2'[Date] < MAX('CALENDAR Table 2'[Date])
),0)
return IF(SELECTEDVALUE('CALENDAR Table 2'[Month]) =1,BLANK(),_a)

(4) Then the result is as follows.
