Compare data with different start dates

Hi, 

I would like to compare thee datasets, each of these datasets start on different dates, but i would like to see them in the same visual?

DateRating
18/16/2020

5

 

I'm thinking of creating a new column then assign a number to each date starting from one till the end date. (and how to do this?)

 

Then I would be able to compare each of the dates?

 

Do you think this would achive this or is there a better way to do this?

 

Thanks

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Based on your sample data, you can add index column or create a calculated column like :

 

 

 

column = DAY(Table[Date])

@Anonymous , not very clear. Can you please explain with an example.

 

You can create a common date table and join all dates with that and analyze

 

To get the best of the time intelligence function. Make sure you have a date calendar and it has been marked as the date in model view. Also, join it with the date column of your fact/s. Refer :

Hi, 

 

Sorry hopefully this will sort it out, below are the datasets

I have added the order column myself and think this is the way to do it ?

So i would be able to put the rating and the order on a visual so i can see over the first 30days of each of the datasrts how each dataset compares to each other?

 

hope this is clear?

 

Thanks
