Trying to Build a Prior Year DAX Function

Hi all,

 

I'm trying to build a prior year DAX function that interactively works with a timeframe filter. 

 

I have a timeframe table that assigns a 1 for a date ID that falls under "Current Week," "Current Month," "YTD," etc. I also have a -1 in the table to indicate the Current Week in the prior year, but I have these filtered out because the slicer would pull in both CY and PY if not. 

 

I have a DAX formula for volume that interacts perfectly with the timeframe filter:

calculate(
sum('Invoice Details'[Volume_Qty])).
 
How can I create something that pulls in prior year Volume in comparison to the Current Year indicator?

    Hi jludwick ,

     

    If your data table is like this:

    You can follow these steps:

    1. Create a new table with all the options you need in the slicer.

     2. Turn the single select of the slicer on

     3. Then create a measure that calculate the Volume

    calculate volumn =

SWITCH (

    MAX ( 'for slicer'[Value] ),

    "Prior Year",

        CALCULATE (

            SUM ( 'Invoice Details'[Volume_Qty] ),

            FILTER ( 'Invoice Details', [Column] = -1 )

        ),

    CALCULATE (

        SUM ( 'Invoice Details'[Volume_Qty] ),

        FILTER ( 'Invoice Details', [Column] = 1 )

    )

)

    Final output:

     

    If not, please provide me with more details about your table and your expected output or share me with your pbix file after removing sensitive data.
