Hello,
Please how I can create a date table to display the quarters from last 2 years
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi:
You can make a new table for Dates with this DAX code which includes quarters. If you want a mini table of only just quarter no (8 rows) I'd just make it in excel and paste it in where it says enter data on the home page.
Here's the date table code:
Dates =
-- Specify a start date and end date
VAR StartDate = Date(2021,1,1)
VAR EndDate = Today()
VAR FiscalMonthEnd = 6
-- Generate a base table of dates
VAR BaseTable = Calendar(StartDate, EndDate)
-- Add the Year for each individual date
VAR Years = ADDCOLUMNS(BaseTable,"Year",YEAR([Date]))
-- Add the calendar month and other month related data for each date
VAR Months = ADDCOLUMNS(
Years,
"Month",MONTH([Date]),
"Year and Month Number",FORMAT([Date],"YYYY-MM"),
"Year and Month Name",FORMAT([Date],"YYYY-MMM"),
"Fiscal Year", IF( FiscalMonthEnd = 12, YEAR([Date]), IF( MONTH([DATE]) <= FiscalMonthEnd, YEAR([DATE])-1, YEAR([Date]))),
"Fiscal Month", IF( FiscalMonthEnd = 12, MONTH([Date]),
IF( MONTH([Date]) <= FiscalMonthEnd, FiscalMonthEnd + MONTH([Date]), MONTH([Date]) - FiscalMonthEnd))
)
-- Add the Quarter and other quarter related data for each date
VAR Quarters = ADDCOLUMNS(
Months,
"Quarter",ROUNDUP(MONTH([Date])/3,0),
"Year and Quarter",[Year] & "-Q" & ROUNDUP(MONTH([Date])/3,0))
-- Add the Day and other day related data for each date
VAR Days = ADDCOLUMNS(
Quarters,
"Day",DAY([Date]),
"Day Name",FORMAT([Date],"DDDD"),
"Day Of Week",WEEKDAY([Date]),
"Day Of Year", DATEDIFF (DATE(YEAR([Date]),1,1), [Date], DAY) + 1)
-- Add the Week (assuming each week starts on a Sunday) and other week related data for each date
VAR Weeks = ADDCOLUMNS(
Days,
"Week Of Month (Sunday)",INT((DAY([Date])-1)/7)+1,
"Week of Year (Sunday)",WEEKNUM([Date],1),
"Year and Week (Sunday)",[Year] & "-W" & WEEKNUM([Date],1))
-- Add an 'Is Working Day' column which will be true for all days but Saturday and Sunday.
var WorkingDays = ADDCOLUMNS(
Weeks,
"Is Working Day", NOT WEEKDAY( [Date] ) IN {1,7})
RETURN WorkingDays
I hope this helps..
