Cant filter with 2 conditions

[Roberto456]

Hello everyone.

Im having a  weird problem with something.

Im trying to filter my report for sales up until the last invoice this month compared to same period last month.

Below is my formula:

Latest Invoice = CALCULATE(MAX('(Fact) Cart'[Invoice_Date]))

Test 2 =

VAR LATESTMONTH = CALCULATE(MAX('(Dim) Calendar'[Rolling Month #]),ALL('(Dim) Calendar'))

VAR STARTDATE = DATE(YEAR([Latest Invoice]),MONTH([Latest Invoice])-1,1)

VAR ENDDATE = DATE(YEAR([Latest Invoice]),MONTH([Latest Invoice])-1,DAY([Latest Invoice]))

RETURN

IF(MAX('(Dim) Calendar'[Rolling Month #]) = LATESTMONTH,

CALCULATE([Metric],FILTER(ALL('(Dim) Calendar'),'(Dim) Calendar'[Date] >= STARTDATE && '(Dim) Calendar'[Date] <= ENDDATE)),

CALCULATE([Metric],FILTER(ALL('(Dim) Calendar'),'(Dim) Calendar'[Rolling Month #] = MAX('(Dim) Calendar'[Rolling Month #])-1)))

i get this error when putting the measure in with any another field, (it works by itself though). 

It also only works when i put in a calendar field from the dimension table, but that is it.

If I remove the RED text it will work, but if i leave it in it causes the above error. 

There is something to do with having 2 conditons that is causing this error

The goal is to put this in with products but it wont work, anyone know why?

so i figured out the root cause of the problem and its,

VAR ENDDATE = DATE(YEAR([Latest Invoice]),MONTH([Latest Invoice])-1,DAY([Latest Invoice]))

if i put and integer in there it will work,

why would DAY() be causing this issue?

EDIT:

if i replaced DAY([Latest Invoice]) from the fact table to MAX invoice DAte from the Dimension table, it works, but it wont work with filters now...

Hi @Roberto456 ,

This error message may be caused by the value of the day part of the obtained end date being too large. For example, assume that LATESTMONTH you obtained is 2020/3/31, then STARTDATE is 2020/2/1 and ENDDATE is equal to 2020/2/31 based on your original formula. However, February 2020 can only have 28 days at most, but what you get is 31, which does not conform to the date format. Thus an error was reported. Please update the formula of measure Test 2 as below:

Test 2 =

VAR LATESTMONTH = CALCULATE(MAX('(Dim) Calendar'[Rolling Month #]),ALL('(Dim) Calendar'))

VAR STARTDATE = DATE(YEAR([Latest Invoice]),MONTH([Latest Invoice])-1,1)

VAR ENDDATE = EOMONTH(STARTDATE ,0)

RETURN

IF(MAX('(Dim) Calendar'[Rolling Month #]) = LATESTMONTH,

CALCULATE([Metric],FILTER(ALL('(Dim) Calendar'),'(Dim) Calendar'[Date] >= STARTDATE && '(Dim) Calendar'[Date] <= ENDDATE)),

CALCULATE([Metric],FILTER(ALL('(Dim) Calendar'),'(Dim) Calendar'[Rolling Month #] = MAX('(Dim) Calendar'[Rolling Month #])-1)))

woo it works 🙂

Test =

VAR LATESTMONTH = CALCULATE(MAX('(Dim) Calendar'[Rolling Month #]),ALL('(Dim) Calendar'))

VAR STARTDATE = DATE(YEAR([Latest Invoice]),MONTH([Latest Invoice]),1)

VAR ENDDATE = DATE(YEAR([Latest Invoice]),MONTH([Latest Invoice]),EOMONTH(STARTDATE ,0))

RETURN

IF(MAX('(Dim) Calendar'[Rolling Month #]) = LATESTMONTH,

CALCULATE([Metric],FILTER(ALL('(Dim) Calendar'),'(Dim) Calendar'[Date] >= STARTDATE && '(Dim) Calendar'[Date] <= ENDDATE)),

CALCULATE([Metric PM]))
