Create new Column based on Slicer
Hello,
in my table, I have a column called "Scenario", which allows the User to select datas for Actual, Budget, LUF....
Now, in order to be able to create a stacked barchard, I will create a new Scenario, which is based on a Slicer the User can use: This Slicer is the Year and the new scenario should be called "Previous" and should filter then on Scenario "Actual" and Year = Selected Year - 1. (with that, the visual would work fine and I can show the Previous Year, planned periods (Budget, LUF) and Actual Year).
I currently have:
A second table which is not linked to the Mastertable with all the years which are available. (=YearDimension)
A measure called "SelYear" = Selectedvalue(YearDimension[Jahr])
A measure called "PrevYear" = RawData[SelYear] - 1
Both measures are part of the Mastertable and when I choose in the year slicer the year 2020, my PrevYear is 2019.
Now, I have build a new column in the mastertable called "Scen" with
Scen = If(And('Raw Data'[Scenario] = "Actual", 'Raw Data'[Jahr]=[PrevYear]),"Previous",'Raw Data'[Scenario])
But this is not giving me the new Scenario "Previous" for the 2019 Actual values.... How can I create such a new Scenario based on the Year Slicer?
Hi Pfoerster ,
First create a year table as below:
Table 2 = VALUES('Table'[Year])Then create a measure as below:
_Scen = IF(MAX('Table'[Year])=SELECTEDVALUE('Table 2'[Year])-1&&MAX('Table'[Scenario])="Actual","Previous",MAX('Table'[Scenario]))And you will see:
You can use the following measure to color the above value:
_color = IF('Table'[_Scen]="Previous","#f44242","#000000")For the related .pbix file,pls see attached.

YTD = CALCULATE([Total],DATESYTD('Date'[Date],"12/31")) Last YTD = CALCULATE([Total],DATESYTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year),"12/31")) This year = CALCULATE([Total],DATESYTD(ENDOFYEAR('Date'[Date]),"12/31")) Last to last YTD = CALCULATE([Total],DATESYTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-2,Year),"12/31"))To make it clear:
Scenario Year Territory Scen Actual 2020 East Actual Budget 2020 East Budget Actual 2019 East Previous LUF 2020 East LUF My table is looking like this, but: Currently, I am struggeling by getting the "Previous". This should occure, when the user is selecting 2020 in a Slicer in the report. So, the column "Scen" is based on the Slicer of the Report.
