Prior Date with Data

Hello,

 

I need to find the prior date with data as a measure,

 

Two tables, 1 is a Calander table and 1 is a Lines table,

Column Date comes from Calander, column Volume (Measure) comes from Lines

 

It has to be measure only, I am connected to a data-set and cannot create a calculated column,

 

This doesn't work:
CALCULATE(CALCULATE(MAX(Lines[Date]), DATEADD(Dates[Date],-1,DAY)), FILTER(Lines, [Volume]>0))

 

The result needed:

Any guidance is appreciated,

Cheers,

Hi @YABOUSALEH 

please try

 

 

Prior Date with Volume =
MAXX (
    FILTER (
        ALLSELECTED ( Lines ),
        [Volume] > 0
            && 'Date'[Date] < MAX ( 'Date'[Date] )
    ),
    'Date'[Date]
)

Hi @YABOUSALEH 

please try

 

 

Prior Date with Volume =
MAXX (
    FILTER (
        ALLSELECTED ( Lines ),
        [Volume] > 0
            && 'Date'[Date] < MAX ( 'Date'[Date] )
    ),
    'Date'[Date]
)

 

 

This is great, almost perfect, thank you, slightly modified, used the calander table instead,

Modified:

 

MAXX (
    FILTER (
        ALLSELECTED(Dates),
        [Volume] > 0
            && Dates[Date] < MAX ( Dates[Date] )
    ),
    Dates[Date]
)

This might be nitpicking, any chance dates outside the filters would populate?

Great if possible, can do without,

 

PS. I confirmed your response as an answer, would you just modify the code to Dates (or Calander) instead of Lines, for consistency to the next person 🙂

 

Cheers

Hi,

 

Try this :

var actualdate=SELECTEDVALUE('Date'[Date])
return
calculate(max('Date'[Date]),'Date'[Date]<actualdate,Lines[Volume]>0)

 

 

I get an error:
