Calculate first value for months

‎08-26-2020 04:00 PM
 
Hi guys, I would like to create a measure that calculates first value for each month based on filter.

This is an example:

DateSystemValue
09.07.20201st266471,4
10.07.20201st266471,4
11.07.20201st266471,4

04.08.20201st83528,57
05.08.20201st83528,57
06.08.20201st83528,57
07.08.20201st

83528,57

 

Expected result without filters:

1st350000
2nd350000

 

That means that for each system with have 2 months 7 and 8 and for each month we get first value. E.g.

1st system - july 266471,4286 and august 83528,57143

2nd system - july 86292,85714 and august 263707,1429

 

If i use slicer on a date for ex only july it should show:

1st system - july 266471,4286

2nd system - july 86292,85714

 

I think it should calculate first value for selected month. Thank you for any help.

Hi @seinomozh 

I found the following solution:

 

28-08-_2020_17-51-40.png

 

First Value of Month = 
CALCULATE(
    MIN('Table'[Value]),
    FILTER(
        ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[System]),
        MIN('Table'[Date])='Table'[Date]
    )
)

@FrankAT 

 

This is great, but it is not summarize if remove month. Idea is to create a measure that can show you proper value per choosen month. So if i choose 2 month (jul+aug) it should be 350K per system.

Hi @seinomozh,

You can try to use the below formula to use system category and date filter to find out the minimum date and correspond value:

 

Measure =
VAR minDate =
    CALCULATE (
        MIN ( 'Table'[Date] ),
        ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ),
        VALUES ( 'Table'[Date] ),
        VALUES ( 'Table'[System] )
    )
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        MIN ( 'Table'[Value] ),
        FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ), [Date] = minDate ),
        VALUES ( 'Table'[System] )
    )

Hello @seinomozh ,

 

From what I could understand from the description shared, following is the recreation of your scenario:

 

Sample Data Table:

Date System Value
9-Jul-20 1st 9
10-Jul-20 1st 10
11-Jul-20 1st 11
12-Jul-20 1st 12
13-Jul-20 1st 13
14-Jul-20 1st 14
15-Jul-20 1st 15
16-Jul-20 1st 16

24-Jul-20 1st 24
25-Jul-20 1st 25
26-Jul-20 1st 26
27-Jul-20 1st 27
28-Jul-20 1st 28
8-Jul-20 2nd 8
9-Jul-20 2nd 9
10-Jul-20 2nd 10
11-Jul-20 2nd 11

25-Jul-20 2nd 25
26-Jul-20 2nd 26
27-Jul-20 2nd 27
28-Jul-20 2nd 28
29-Jul-20 2nd 29

2-Aug-20 1st 2
3-Aug-20 1st 3
4-Aug-20 1st 4
5-Aug-20 1st 5
6-Aug-20 1st 6
7-Aug-20 1st 7

 

Measure:

First Value = 
VAR _MinDate = MIN('Table'[Date])
VAR _FirstValue = CALCULATE(FIRSTNONBLANK('Table'[Value],TRUE()),'Table'[Date] = _MinDate)
RETURN
_FirstValue

 

Result:

Hope this helps.

If it helps, please mark it as a solution. Kudos would be a cherry on the top 🙂
If it doesn't, then please share a sample data along with the expected results (preferably an excel file and not an image)

Hi @vivran22 

 

Not exactly. It calculates only first value for each system without date filter. E.g. for july only OR july and aug - same result. 

Should be 350K for each row without filter. Below result works only for july dates.

 

seinomozh_0-1598606614784.png

 

Best guess - to create new column that gives "1" for first day per month for each system. Like:

 

DateSystemValueNew column
09.07.20201st266471,41
10.07.20201st266471,4 
11.07.20201st266471,4 
12.07.20201st266471,4

07.08.20202nd86292,86 

 

Than easiest way - CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Value]),'Table'[New_Column]=1)

I did not understand the logic of 350k? How did you arrive at this value?
