Hello,
I am trying to get the same subtotals that are in my matrix into some Dax measures so I can then compare periods and create variance measures. I need to have month to date, previous month, year to date, and previous year.
Example: Month to date is currently showing subtotal of 82.28% for Frozen Units Filled %. I need to get this same result from a Dax calculation.
Same for last month: previous month subtotal is 83.49%. I would then create a measure to get the variance (I know this part already).
- [ReqAvailableDate] is connected to field [Week Date] in a separate Calendar table.
- [Frozen Units Filled %] is a measure I created.
I appreciate your help. Please let me know if you need additional information.
I hope this is the information you need...
Below table is a sample with aggregates for Frozen Units Filled each day in the previous month.
(Frozen Units Filled% is a dax measure = (DIVIDE(CALCULATE(SUM('FrozenFillRate'[Confirmed Sales Quantity])), CALCULATE(SUM('FrozenFillRate'[Order Quantity])))
I need to create a measure that will give me the total of the Frozen Units Filled % in the previous month, which would be 83.55% (as generated when the data is placed in a matrix).
