Create Measure - Period On Period % Diff, Based On User's Input In Built-In Relative Date Slicer For
Hi everyone!
Would appreciate any help on the following requirements:
I'd like to create a measure for:
- Period On Period % Diff
- Based On User's Input In Built-In Relative Date Slicer
- For Matrix Visual With Date Dimension In Columns (Year, Month, Week)
The month column in matrix should also show month names (Jan, Feb, Mar, etc...)
Here's the pbix file
The dataset is shown in the picture below.
The expected results are below:
(Disclaimer - I had to create 2 separate measures in order to show the expected results. Whereas what I'd like is to have a single measure that is able to display the output show by these 2 measures. Extending further, it should also show the correct output when, for example, "last 3 days" is selected in slicer, but matrix column is on weekly level. Or "last 3 weeks" selected in slicer, but matrix column is on monthly level.)
When selecting "last 2 months" on slicer, and matrix column is on monthly level:

Hi CALCULATEpizza ,
Believe that the main issue you have here is the fact that you cannot know how the relative slicer selection is made, if it's on weeks, month or days.
What you can do keeping the two measures you have is to create a measure that gets the context of the matrix, and returns the correct measure:
Switch bewteen = if(ISINSCOPE('Date Dimension'[Week]), [WEEK ON WEEK % DIFFERENCE], [MONTH ON MONTH % DIFFERENCE])Has you can see when you drill up or down the calculations changes:

Hi CALCULATEpizza ,
Please refer to my pbix file to see if it helps you.
Create a measure.
Measure = VAR _sum = CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Sales Data'[QTY Sold] ), FILTER ( ALL ( 'Date Dimension' ), 'Date Dimension'[Week] = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Date Dimension'[Week] ) ) ) RETURN DIVIDE ( SUM ( 'Sales Data'[QTY Sold] ), _sum )If I have misunderstood your meaning, please provide your desired output with a screenshot.

Hi CALCULATEpizza ,
Add and index colum for the week:
INT( ROUNDDOWN( ( DATEDIFF( [Date], TODAY(), DAY) * -1 + -1 * IF( WEEKDAY( TODAY() ) + 1 <= 6, WEEKDAY( TODAY() ) + 1, WEEKDAY( TODAY() ) + 1 - 7 )) / 7, 0 ) )Then try the following measure:
Measure = var WeekSelection = MAX('Date Dimension'[weekindex]) - 1 var _sum = CALCULATE(SUM('Sales Data'[QTY Sold]), FILTER(ALL('Date Dimension'),'Date Dimension'[weekindex] = WeekSelection)) return DIVIDE(SUM('Sales Data'[QTY Sold]), _sum)Hi Anonymous,
Thanks so much for your response, unfortunate the measure doesn't provide the output I'm looking for. I've updated my original post with the expected results.
I have also reuploaded the pbix file. In this update:
- added 2 measures to demonstrate what the output should be
