Historical bands using a column

Hello,   I need to implement many classifications based on different measures (YTD, MTD).  I'm using a column because I need the flexibility to use it also as a filter in a slicer.   The classifi...

Hi Gab_1983 ,

You can try this measure instead:

REVENUES YTD =
VAR t =
    ADDCOLUMNS (
        SUMMARIZE (
            Customer,
            Period[Date],
            Customer[Customer],
            Customer[Class Revenues]
        ),
        "REVENUE",
            CALCULATE (
                SUM ( FactAMT[AMT] ),
                DATESYTD ( Period[Date] ),
                ALLEXCEPT ( Customer, Customer[Customer] )
            )
    )
RETURN
    SUMX ( t, [REVENUE] )

Hi ERD,

 

thanks for your suggestion. Effectively in this way it works. So according to you is not the "Class column" the problem but the measure...The problem is that in reality I have a big data model that already includes a lot of measures (more than 200), change the structure of each measure is not feasible. 

 

I'm trying to find a way to implement multiples classification (based on MTD, YTD figures) considering the selected date.

 

I know that maybe use a column is not the best approach (I already tried to do the classification with a measure (measure + parametric table with the segmentation) and it works well but then I have the limitation that a measure can't be used in rows or in a slicer) .

 

Please let me know if you have any other suggestions.

 

Thanks in advance
