Hello,
We have an Excel spreadsheet which we're hoping to migrate to Power BI. The spreadsheet has a formula which references the prior date's value - but that prior date's value is a formula. Please see Excel formula highlighted -- as well as the DAX I've come up with so far. I can reference prior day value from a table fairly easily - but not sure how to do that when that value is a measure. Greatly appreciate any help which can be offered.
TEST_PriorRecord = VAR EarliestRecordDate = CALCULATE(MIN('Dates (Filter)'[AsOfDate]),ALLSELECTED('Dates (Filter)')) VAR CurrentRecordDate = CALCULATE(MAX('Dates (Filter)'[AsOfDate])) VAR PriorDate = CALCULATE(MAX(Positions[AsOfDate (Filter)]),TOPN(1,FILTER(ALLSELECTED('Dates (Filter)'[AsOfDate]),'Dates (Filter)'[AsOfDate]<MAX('Dates (Filter)'[AsOfDate])),'Dates (Filter)'[AsOfDate],DESC)) VAR PriorDateValue = CALCULATE(SUM(AccountReturns[Account_ReportedReturn_QTD]),'Dates (Filter)'[AsOfDate]=PriorDate) VAR IsEarliestRecord = IF(EarliestRecordDate = CurrentRecordDate, TRUE, FALSE) RETURN IF(IsEarliestRecord, 1, PriorDateValue)
Thanks,
Dan
