Calculating % of Month Complete

‎08-08-2019 08:24 AM

Trying to project some figures based on where we are in the current month. For example, we sold 10 units through the first 25% of the month, we're on pace for 40 units.

 

I was able to do this originally by adding a table that captured when Power BI was last refreshed. However, each account I'm trying to calculate the pacing for gets updated within the database at various times, this is captured in a field labeled 'Last Change'.

 

I'm looking for a way to calculate the % of the month that has been completed for each account, based on their last change date. Swapping in "Last Change Date" for "Last Refresh Date" resulted in an error:

"A date column containing dplicate dates was specified in the call to function 'LASTDATE'. This not supported".

 

For reference, here is my original formula to calculate % of month completed:

 
% of Month Complete = CALCULATE (
DIVIDE ( day(LASTDATE('Refresh Date'[Refresh Date])), DAY ( LASTDATE ( 'Date'[Date].[Date] ) ), 0 ),
FILTER (
ALL ( 'Date' ),
YEAR ( 'Date'[Date] ) = YEAR ( TODAY () )
&& MONTH ( 'Date'[Date] ) = MONTH ( TODAY () )
)
)
 
Wondering if anyone has any ideas!
 
Thanks!

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

I suggest to use MAXX instead of LASTDATE. Please refer to this case.

@Anonymous can your share sample data? It is straight forward but nee to know your data model before providing any solution.
