Current vs Previous value, not dependent on base value
- 7 years ago
Hi Anonymous
I gave you some erroneous code previously (I hadn't tested it - i was making extrapolations from other similar work I've done, but I had some false assumptions).
Points 1-3 in the above reply still hold - please review them. However, now we need to modify the measures.
For transparency, we'll use 3 measures. I'll talk about where they can be combined afterwards
TodaysValue= SWITCH( [MType]; "BJ-HÖ1"; AVERAGE(Blad1[BJ-HÖ1]); "BJ-MÄ"; AVERAGE(Blad1[BJ-MÄ]); "BJ-TS1"; AVERAGE(Blad1[BJ-TS1]); etc ) PrevDayValue = CALCULATE([TodaysValue]; PREVIOUSDAY(DateTimeTab[Date])) Measure Delta = [TodaysValue] - [PrevDayValue]The mistake was thinking we could store some of the complex code in variables and use the code again further down in the measure. I think we can really only have a minimum of 2 measures, unless you want to replicate a lot of code:
TodaysValue= SWITCH( [MType]; "BJ-HÖ1"; AVERAGE(Blad1[BJ-HÖ1]); "BJ-MÄ"; AVERAGE(Blad1[BJ-MÄ]); "BJ-TS1"; AVERAGE(Blad1[BJ-TS1]); etc ) Measure Delta =
//NOTE That variables are not needed here - just showing for illustrative purposes VAR __Todaysvalue = [TodaysValue]
VAR __PrevValue = CALCULATE([TodaysValue], PREVIOUSDAY(DateTimeTab[Date]) RETURN __Todaysvalue - __PrevValue
//You could do the following without any variables and get the same results
//Measure Delta = [TodaysValue] - CALCULATE([TodaysValue], PREVIOUSDAY(DateTimeTab[Date])Hope this finally gets you to where you need to be. Sorry for the earlier confusion.

Thank you for the reply,
Here's a screen grab of a table displaying en example of the values. What I would like to do is have the value of june 23 - value of june 22, value of june 22 - value of june 21 etc etc. This is so that I can hopefully make it so that if the difference between two dates is more than x that bar should be red or something.
The second image is an example of what I mean.
Thank you so much for the help, I'm still pretty new to PowerBI
For the daily difference, you'll want something along these lines
Previous Day HE-TS =
CALCULATE ( [Average of HE-TS], PREVIOUSDAY(DateTab[Date])
Day Delta = [Average of HE-TS] - [Previous Day HE-TS]
DateTab[Date] should be the name of your calendar/date table.
Hope this helps

Thank you,
But is there any way to make it not dependen on the value? If that makes sense.
So that I can change between the different value sets without changing or making new of these codes for every value? I typed and example of what I mean, don't know if there's any way to make it like that... hope you understand how I mean.
Previous Day HE-TS = CALCULATE ( [Average of HE-TS], PREVIOUSDAY(DateTab[Date]) Previous Day BJ-TS1 = CALCULATE ( [Average of BJ-TS1], PREVIOUSDAY(DateTab[Date])
Example:
CALCULATE ( [Average of SELECTEDVALUE], PREVIOUSDAY(DateTab[Date])Thanks

Combining my first answer with my second answer, you would want to do something like this:
Slicer/button to choose your value
MType = SELECTEDVALUE(Slicer[Field])
Delta based on selected type
Measure Delta =
var __SelectedMeasure = SWITCH ( [MType], "Value1", [Measure 1], "Value2", [Measure 2], ...)
var __PDMeasure = CALCULATE(__SelectedMeasure, PREVIOUSDAY(DateTab[Date))
RETURN __SelectedMeasure - __PDMeasure
Hope this helps

Thank you for the help, I'll try your solution when I'm working on this next.
Best regards
