Hi,
I got problem with proper sum of Previous Year up to specific day in current month using time intelligence.
It looks like this:
Actual month is up to 12 day, but previous year shows me sum of whole month, not to this day, it should be 92.
Current dax formula:
Customers Qty MTD PY =
CALCULATE([Customers Qty],
DATESMTD(DATEADD('Calendar'[Date], -1, YEAR))
)
If I filter day 1 to 11 is ok (to 11 day)
I want to have always day slicer in default from 1 to 31. It works fine in other months.
I have a date table marked as date table with date up to max sales date (so 08-12-2022) and its connected to sales fact table by date
I have tried many ways to solve this and none have the desired result, what I'm doing wrong?
Solved! Go to Solution.
@krisstok , seem like GT getting last year full month
try like
LMTD =
var _max1 = if(isfiltered('Date'),MAX( 'Date'[Date]) , today())
var _max = date(Year(_max1), month(_max1)-1, day(_max))
var _min = eomonth(_max1,-2)+1
return
CALCULATE([net] ,DATESBETWEEN('Date'[Date],_min,_max))
Comments after return are additional options
LYMTD QTY forced=
var _max = date(year(today())-1,month(today()),day(today()))
return
if(max('Date'[Date])<=_max, CALCULATE(Sum('order'[Qty]),DATESMTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,year)),'Date'[Date]<=_max), blank())
//OR
//CALCULATE(Sum('order'[Qty]),DATESMTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,year)),'Date'[Date]<=_max)
//TOTALMTD(Sum('order'[Qty]),dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,year),'Date'[Date]<=_max)

Wow man! It works!
I adapted first formula and now sum is correct. Many thanks! 😄
Customers Qty MTD PY =
VAR _FilteredDate =
IF ( ISFILTERED ( 'Calendar' ), MAX ( 'Calendar'[Date] ), TODAY () )
VAR _max =
DATE ( YEAR ( _FilteredDate ) -1 , MONTH ( _FilteredDate ) , DAY ( _FilteredDate ) )
VAR _min =
EOMONTH ( _max, -1 ) + 1
RETURN
CALCULATE ( [Customers Qty], DATESBETWEEN ( 'Calendar'[Date], _min, _max )
)
