Cumulative Sales - Getting the Sales Line to Stop

Hi All,

 

I've been given a dataset that has both Sales & Forecast in one dataset. This means that the below code does not work as it extends out the sales line to match the FY2020 months. Without duplicating the dataset, and stripping out Sales & Forecast into separate datas, is there a way to fix this quickly?

 

 

 

Cumulative Actuals =
VAR LastSalesDate = CALCULATE( MAX( 'Report Data'[Time] ), ALL( 'Report Data') )
 
RETURN
IF( SELECTEDVALUE( 'Date'[Date]) > LastSalesDate, BLANK(),
CALCULATE( [Total Sales] ,
FILTER( ALLSELECTED( 'Date'),
'Date'[Date] <= MAX( 'Date'[Date] ) )))
 
Thanks
Rob

      Have added the visualisation.. essentially the data looks like

       

      Time | Sales | Forecast

      Jan   | $2$00 | $200

      .

      .

      April | 0        | $30

    You could add another IF() in your return such that if the MIN('Date'[Date]) is greater than your lastsalesdate variable to return blank(), otherwise your calculation.

     

    If this works for you, please mark it as solution.  Kudos are appreciated too.  Please let me know if not.

    Hi tylesftw ,

     

    What's your Axis column?

    Try create a measure like

    If(selectedvalue(axis column)<=maxx(all(table),reportdate),1,0)

    Then add the measure to visual filter measure is 1.

     

    Best Regards,

    Jay
