Custom Time Intelligence - Current Day in Month vs. Prior Months

[Dlahey]

I currently have weekly sales data refresh. I am looking to compare Week 1 of the month vs. prior Week 1's of all the prior months before that visually. In Week 2 I am looking to see a Cumulative sales for week1+2 vs. all prior Week 2 cumulative's of all the prior months. This would be the same for week 3 and week 4 as the data refreshes.

Is there custom coding that can allow me to do this? looking at MTD sales vs. Prior MTD using time intelligence does not provide the same outcome I am looking for.

thanks,

Hi @Dlahey ,

Based on your description, please try this measure.

Measure = 
VAR _date = CALCULATE(MAX('FactSalesTable'[Date]),ALL('FactSalesTable'))
VAR _day = DAY(_date)
VAR _year = SELECTEDVALUE('Calendar'[Year])
VAR _month = SELECTEDVALUE('Calendar'[Month Number])
VAR _sales = CALCULATE(SUM('FactSalesTable'[Sales]),FILTER('Calendar','Calendar'[Date]>=DATE(_year,_month,1)&&'Calendar'[Date]<=DATE(_year,_month,_day)))
RETURN
_sales

The PBIX file is attached for reference.

I am looking to compare Week 1 of the month vs. prior Week 1's of all the prior months 

Weeks and months are incompatible.

How about days in month vs. same days in month vs. prior months?

ie. Sep = 6 days, vs. Aug = first 6 days, vs. Jul = first 6 days.....

Yeah, sort of.  Keep in mind that this will be very wobbly at the beginning of the month.  Let's say

July - starts on a Friday

August - starts on a Monday

September - starts on a Thursday

Let's assume you only have transactions Monday through Friday.

First 6 days:

July: 4 working days

Aug: 5 working days

Sept: 4 working days

I think you can see where this is going.  It becomes less of a problem the older a month gets.

I am comfortable with this, we only have refreshed sales data on a weekly basis therefore the minimum days would always be 4 or 5 working days with holidays factored in. However, this still gives a good indication to our company. thanks
