Hi!
I have a simple a data source that includes product names, sale dates and amounts - pelase find the below data sample with dummy data:
Name | date | Value |
test | 01.10.2023 | 1000 |
test | 01.10.2023 | 10030 |
test_1 | 01.11.2023 | 10004 |
test_1 | 01.11.2023 | 12000 |
test_2 | 01.10.2023 | 3452 |
test_2 | 01.11.2023 | 54000 |
I have loaded the source data to Data Model in Excel and created a power pivot. As a final step, I want to present the difference between November's and October's values for each product name, therefore I have created DAX messure with the code below:
var current_date = max(Tabela1[date])
var oct_amount=
CALCULATE(
[AMT];
Tabela1[date]=date(2023;10;1)
)
var nov_amount=
CALCULATE(
[AMT];
Tabela1[date]=date(2023;11;1)
)
return
if(current_date=date(2023;10;1);
BLANK();
nov_amount - oct_amount)
The messure shows correct values only for products that have had orders in November and does not read blank values as zero - the incorrect delta value is highlighted in red:
The ISBLANK function also shows a blank result for non-value records:
The data sample is available at the link.
I would be grateful for any suggestions how to cope with this issue.
