Calculated column with date filter

Hi everybody,

 

I am new here.

 

I have the following scenario.

My data comes from an OData feed.

There are 4 tables:

1. Item Entries (include all sold products)

2. Resource Entries (include all sold services)

3. User

4. DateTable

 

The releationship is as follows:

User -> Item Entries (1:*)

User -> Resource Entries (1:*)

DateTable -> Item Entreis (1:*)

DateTable -> Resource Entries (1:*)

 

Now I have created some calculated columns in the user table for example:

 

Total Sales Amount (product) = CALCULATE(SUM(Item Entries[Sales Amount]))

Total Sales Amount (service) = CALCUKATE(SUM(Resource Entreis[Sales Anount]))

 

Total Sales Amount = User[Total Sales Amount (product)] + User[Total Sales Amount (service)]

This is super simple and works fine, but how to set the date filter wich comes from the datetable.

 

Thx in advance

Thomas

You shouldn't be using calc columns. Take a read of my blog post on is topic. http://exceleratorbi.com.au/calculated-columns-vs-measures-dax/

 

write  them as measures and they will update with slicers.

I will not give you bad advice, even if you unknowingly ask for it.
