Calculate Variation dynamically

Hi.  I need some help. So, imagine this. The first value is the Moving Annual Total from MAT1. The value below is the variation vs homologous period (MAT 2 in this case).   The way I did ...

    Hi, GoncaloCare 

     

    If I understand what you mean, Do you want the value of Query3[MAT] to be dynamic?

    You can try to create a single distinct list(distict(Query3[MAT])), then use this new table column as slicer. And use selectedvalue function to distinguish different values in two different tables.

     

    -> for the first value: 

Mat1valor = CALCULATE(SUM(Query3[EUR]), Query3[MAT]=selectedvalue(Query3[MAT]))
-> for the second value: 

VariacaoMAT1 = ( ( [Mat1valor] / CALCULATE(SUM(Query3[EUR]),selectedvalue(table[MAT]) ) - 1 ))

     

    If it doesn’t solve your problem, please share some sample fake data and your desired result,then feel free to ask me.

     

    Best Regards

Everything is possible with DAX... This is not dynamic since you've hard-coded the name "Mat1 into the measure. And then, again, you've hard-coded the other name "Mat2" into the other measure. No wonder this is static.

    Hi Anonymous 

    Thanks for the reply.

     

    I know I have hard-coded. My question is how to make it dynamic, because I don't have an Idea. I mean, I know how to make it  dynamic for the first value (just selecting the mat 1 in the filters), but I don't know how to make it dynamic on the variation value.

     

    The hard-code was the only way I was able to do to have an example.
