ALL with slicer on yearly campaign data

[gunicotra]

Hi to all,

I have "yearly campaign" values and a slicer with which I can select the yearly capmaign.

Then I have a measure that should bring the count of values of the previus year:

FA_PY =

var YearPrec=SELECTEDVALUE(Table[Year])-1

return

calculate(COUNTA(Table[ID]),

ALL(Table[Year]),

Table[Year]=YearPrec)

However the result is null becouse if I select on slicer the year 2021, the measure search for 2020 data but I guess this dis-allignment of years (slicer 2021, and measure 2020) determines the fact that the measure is "null" even if I have built it with ALL(Table[Year]), and then re-define it with the new year Table[Year]=YearPrec).

How can I do this?
ps.: I can not use the time intelligent formulas becouse the data are releted to a "yearly campaign" which might also be broader that a year itself!
thanks to all
G

There is no need to use ALL() when you then specify a replacement filter value.  Your scenario should work as you describe. Maybe you can provide some sample data to illustrate the issue.

sure.
I have this year slicer filter: 

and a measure:

FA_PY =

var YearPrec=SELECTEDVALUE(Table[Year])-1

return

calculate(COUNTA(Table[ID]),

ALL(Table[Year]),

Table[Year]=YearPrec)

According to this data, I would expect that, though I have indicated 2020 in the filter slicer, the measure would give me the 2019 data. The result is, instead:

- "blank" if you consider the measure as it is represented; 

- "all the correct data related to the 2020 campaignn year", if you replace the "YearPrec" var with 2020..

As far as I can see the ALL() does not work properly. 

I have also removed the ALL() statement leaving just the "Table[Year]=YearPrec", as you suggested, but the result has been the same.

Hi, @gunicotra 

You can modify the code like this to test where the problem is:

FA_PY =
calculate(COUNT(Table[ID]),
ALL(Table[Year]),
Table[Year]=SELECTEDVALUE(Table[Year]))

I can't find the problem from your description. So I sugget you share some sample data with us to check.

If the problem still exists, please feel free to ask me.

I have followed your suggestion and I found that my slicer was erroeously applied to a Table1[Year], while the measure was defined on a different table Table[Year]!
Though the two table were connected through this same columns, the desired result did not happend.
Thanks for you hint 😉

Hi,

You should have a Calendar Table with Year as a calculated column in the Calendar Table.  To your slicer, drag Year from the Calendar Table.  Write this measure

FA_PY = calculate(COUNTA(Table[ID]),previousyear(calendar[date]))

Hope this helps.

Hi Ashish_Mathur,

thanks for your suggegstion. Unfortunately I can not use time intelligent functions becouse the yearly campaign data are not to be fond in the same yearly period of the previus yesr (as an example: I can have 2020 campaing data from november 19 to septemper 20 and the 2021 capmaing data from november 20 to december 22). Using time intelligent function, I may loose some data
