'DATEADD' Expects a contiguous selection
Hello, I'm trying to create a measure where I calculate revenue recognized on a sales order in specific timeframes (see below table). I'm using two measures calculating revenue then % of revenue ag...
General guidance is that your data model should contain a calendar/dates table that covers your fact date range (plus a year before) and that has contiguous dates. You'll also want to mark the table as a Date table to avoid wasting model memory.
Then run the DATEADD() against the dates table.
If you don't want to do that you can use EDATE() for month math. It doesn't care about contiguity (sp?)
Thanks lbendlin , both fact tables do have their own date tables and are marked as such. DAX is the same for both date tables, the only thing I notice is I don't have a prior year but I can add it. I'll try the EDATE() function.
