Calculating for Quarter

Let's say I have the following:

 

2016 Bids = CALCULATE(
DistinctCount(Opportunity[Bid_Number__c]),YEAR(Opportunity[CreatedDate])=YEAR(TODAY())-1)

 

It's calculating the # of bids for entire year of 2016.  What would be the calculation formula for calculating only for Q2?  I know I can do it through creating a filter, but would like a calculation.

 

Thanks in advance!

2016 Bids = CALCULATE(
DistinctCount(Opportunity[Bid_Number__c]),filter(opportunity,

                                                                               YEAR(Opportunity[CreatedDate])=YEAR(TODAY())-1

                                                                               && Quarter = "Q2"))

 

 

i think!

do you have a date table?  if you had a date table and had already derived your quarters that is one way to do it.

I have this date table as:

 

Date = ADDCOLUMNS(CALENDAR(DATE(2000,1,1),DATE(2025,12,31)),
"DateAsInteger", FORMAT ( [Date], "YYYYMMDD" ),
"Year", YEAR ( [Date] ),
"Monthnumber", FORMAT ( [Date], "MM" ),
"YearMonthnumber", FORMAT ( [Date], "MM YYYY" ),
"YearMonthShort", FORMAT ( [Date], "mmm YYYY" ),
"MonthNameShort", FORMAT ( [Date], "mmm" ),
"MonthNameLong", FORMAT ( [Date], "mmmm" ),
"DayOfWeekNumber", WEEKDAY ( [Date] ),
"DayOfWeek", FORMAT ( [Date], "dddd" ),
"DayOfWeekShort", FORMAT ( [Date], "dddd" ),
"Quarter", "Q" & FORMAT ( [Date], "Q" ),
"YearQuarter", FORMAT ( [Date], "YYYY" ) & "/Q" & FORMAT ( [Date], "Q" )
)

 

What would be the correct syntax to create the calculation based on that?  Thanks!

 

 

2016 Bids = CALCULATE(
DistinctCount(Opportunity[Bid_Number__c]),filter(opportunity,

                                                                               YEAR(Opportunity[CreatedDate])=YEAR(TODAY())-1

                                                                               && Quarter = "Q2"))
