Hi - I would like to calculate the headcount number for the latest actual month and compare it with the same period last year.
I already calculated the latest actual month headcount and it is working fine however when I try to calculate last year I get the following error
Latest FTE is headcount number of latest actual month and is working fine. I add MAX to DateAdd function cause I would like to look at latest available date and go back 1 year.
I already checked the following;
Date columns are linked in Model
I appreciate your support, thanks in advance.
hi @dkotiloglu
In DATEADD function, try to use the date column from the calendar table.
Thanks, tried however same, unfortunately.
hi @dkotiloglu
in your screenshot, it shows the calendar table definition. I meant to change in your PY FTE definition to
PY FTE=CALCULATE([Latest FTE], DATEADD('Calendar'[Date], -1, YEAR))
