Calculating accurate sales data
Hi everyone,
Happy Friday!
I have a table with a list of accounts. When someone selects an account datacards update to that particular account's information.
If no data is selected on the table, I want the default display in the datacard to be "-" and not the first value. Can anyone help with this please?
My second question is this:
Company Date Sales
Fulham 01/01/2019 52,402
Fulham 02/01/2019 20,521
Fulham 03/01/2019 54,548
Fulham 04/01/2019 40,041
Fulham 05/01/2019 51,340
Fulham 06/01/2019 48,950
Fulham 07/01/2019 35,430
Fulham 08/01/2019 26,909
Fulham 09/01/2019 47,437
Fulham 10/01/2019 34,887
Fulham 11/01/2019 51,005
Fulham 12/01/2019 36,178
Fulham 01/01/2020 22,112
Fulham 01/03/2020 40,004
Fulham 01/06/2020 39,168
I want to calculate the YTD (2020) value of sales, but return "-" if nothing from the main table is selected or isblank.
I want to take the start of the month from today's date and calculate last years equivalent 2019 sales (so from Jan to June of last year). Also returning "-" if nothing from the table is selected or isblank.
I have got completely stuck and would appreciate any help offered at all.
Thank you

1. For the YTD you could try this following formula, if you only need Year 2020, you can add another year filter to the dax.YTD measure = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Sales]),DATESYTD('Table'[Date]))2. To get "-" when no selected you could create a measure. For example, this measure uses Isfiltered() to determine whether the company is filtered.
Measure = IF(ISFILTERED('Table'[Company]),[YTD measure],"-")

Anonymous you should HASONEFILTER function and check if a value is selected or not and based on that tweak your measure to return VALUE or '--'
As a best practice, add date dimension in your model and use it for and time intelligence calculations. Once the date dimension is added, mark it as a date table on table tools.
