Calculate with multiple conditions and with measure

[gunicotra]

Hi to everyone,

I am trying to calculate the count of some elements undependently from the slicer and using a measure for an index.

Basically I have:

- Year (slicer) = 2021

- [MonthUpDate] is a measure that gives the last Month of data collected.

I wouold like to have the count of elements for year 2018 and for the months March.

The solution I guessed is:

CALCULATE(sum('Table'[COUNTER]),

filter(all('Table'[YEAR]),'Table'[YEAR]=2018),

filter(all('Table'[DATA_IN]),month('Table'[DATA_IN])=[MonthUpDate]))

The formula is not wring, but I got no elements counted (i.e.: result = null) while in reality I have 14.500 elements in that year/month.

May enyone give some hints?

Thanks in advance

Hi @gunicotra ,

Can you give me some sample data and the results you want to get? Or share me with your pbix file from your Onedrive for Business.

You can create a calendar table and use the date column to create a date slicer to filter month and year.

@gunicotra , if you have date. With help from date table

Last YTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-2,Year),"12/31"))

or

Year behind Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),dateadd('Date'[Date],-2,Year))

To get the best of the time intelligence function. Make sure you have a date calendar and it has been marked as the date in model view. Also, join it with the date column of your fact/s. Refer :radacad sqlbi My Video Series Appreciate your Kudos.

Hi amitchandak,

your first answer made me think at a different solution which worked well!

CALCULATE(sum('Table'[Counter]),
filter(all('Table'[YEAR]),'Table'[YEAR]=2018),
DATESINPERIOD('Table'[DATE_IN],[MinDatePY],-30,DAY)
)/4

With [MinDatePY] = DATE(2018,MONTH(NOW()),DAY(NOW())) is a new measure that brings back to 2018

Thus thank you for the hint 😉

Hi Kudos,

unfortunately this did not give the right solution. I still got no error, but "null" as value.

In order to provide more elements I can say that skipping the measure, give the right solution:

CALCULATE(sum('Table'[COUNTER]),

filter(all('Table'[YEAR]),'Table'[YEAR]=2018),

filter(all('Table'[DATA_IN]),month('Table'[DATA_IN])=3))

However in this case I just applicable to March.

I read that filtering with ALL( column).... should be the right answer to using a measure as index. But I don't understand whiy this is not working in my case.

Thanks
