Hello,
Could someone please help me with modifying this DAX to also pick up data from the last date on record I have imported into Power BI should TODAY data is unavilable.
Solved! Go to Solution.
@matrix_user , Try like
SpecialDates =
VAR _datetable = DateTable
VAR _today = Maxx(allselected(Fact), Fact[Date])
VAR _month = MONTH(_today)
VAR _year = YEAR(_today)
VAR _thismonthstart = DATE(_year,_month,1)
VAR _thisyearstart = DATE(_year,1,1)
VAR _lastmonthstart = EDATE(_thismonthstart,-1)
VAR _lastmonthend = _thismonthstart-1
VAR _thisquarterstart = DATE(YEAR(_today),SWITCH(true,_month>9,10,_month>6,7,_month>3,4,1),1)
RETURN UNION(
ADDCOLUMNS(FILTER(_datetable,[Date]=_today),"Period","Today","Order",1),
ADDCOLUMNS(FILTER(_datetable,[Date]=_today-1),"Period","Yesterday","Order",2),
ADDCOLUMNS(FILTER(_datetable,[Date]>_today-7),"Period","Last 7 Days","Order",3),
ADDCOLUMNS(FILTER(_datetable,[Date]>=_thismonthstart),"Period","This Month","Order",4),
ADDCOLUMNS(FILTER(_datetable,[Date]>=_thisquarterstart),"Period","This Quarter","Order",5),
ADDCOLUMNS(FILTER(_datetable,[Date]>=_thisyearstart),"Period","This Year","Order",6),
ADDCOLUMNS(FILTER(_datetable,[Date]>_today-30),"Period","Last 30 Days","Order",7),
ADDCOLUMNS(_datetable,"Period","Custom...","Order",8)
)
