DAX Calculated Column Issue

Hi All,

 

I am trying to calculate the previous average coverage percentage based on the reporting date and system name columns. The formula i used below works if i dont consider system name to get the previous average coverage for the previous reporting dates. But, i want to get the previous average coverage percentage for each system name and its previous reporting dates. 

Screenprint:

Actual output i am expecting,

 

Formula:

Previous_Percentage_Coverage =
var currentdate = DEEP_SECURITY[REPORTING_DATE]
var previousdate = MAXX(FILTER(ALL(DEEP_SECURITY),DEEP_SECURITY[REPORTING_DATE] < currentdate),DEEP_SECURITY[REPORTING_DATE])
var currentsysname = max(DEEP_SECURITY[SYSTEM_NAME])
var previoussysname = MAXX(FILTER(ALL(DEEP_SECURITY),DEEP_SECURITY[SYSTEM_NAME] <> currentsysname),DEEP_SECURITY[SYSTEM_NAME])
RETURN
MAXX(FILTER(ALL(DEEP_SECURITY),DEEP_SECURITY[REPORTING_DATE] = previousdate && DEEP_SECURITY[SYSTEM_NAME] <> previoussysname
),
DEEP_SECURITY[avg_percentage_covered])
Please check and let me know how to correct the formula to get the desired result

Hi @vivek_babu 

Please try the follow dax:

Previous_Percentage_Coverage = 
var currentdate = DEEP_SECURITY[REPORTING_DATE]
var previousdate = MAXX(FILTER(ALL(DEEP_SECURITY),DEEP_SECURITY[REPORTING_DATE] < currentdate),DEEP_SECURITY[REPORTING_DATE])
var currentsysname = max(DEEP_SECURITY[SYSTEM_NAME])
RETURN
MAXX(FILTER(ALL(DEEP_SECURITY),DEEP_SECURITY[REPORTING_DATE] = previousdate && DEEP_SECURITY[SYSTEM_NAME] = EARLIER(DEEP_SECURITY[SYSTEM_NAME])
),
DEEP_SECURITY[avg_percentage_covered])

 

 

Result:

hi @vivek_babu ,

 

try like:

column =

VAR _name = [NAME]

VAR _date = [DATE]

RETURN

MAXX(

    TOPN(

       1,

       FILTER(

           DEEP, 

           DEEP[DATE]<_date

              &&DEEP[NAME]=_name

       ),

       DEEP[DATE]

   ),

   DEEP[avg]

)

Hi @FreemanZ 

 

Thanks for providing solution. Unfortunately, its not giving me the desired outcome. I am getting blanks and incorrect values so please check below,

 

Formula:

Prev_Perc =
var _name = DEEP_SECURITY[SYSTEM_NAME]
var _date = DEEP_SECURITY[REPORTING_DATE]
RETURN
MAXX(
    TOPN(
        1,FILTER(DEEP_SECURITY,DEEP_SECURITY[REPORTING_DATE] < _date && DEEP_SECURITY[SYSTEM_NAME] < _name
        ),
        DEEP_SECURITY[REPORTING_DATE]
    ),
    DEEP_SECURITY[avg_percentage_covered]
)

Hi All,

 

I am trying to calculate the previous average percentage column based on reporting date and system name columns. 

The formula is working when i use reporting date alone to get the previous average percentage but i have to consider the system name so the average needs to be done for each system name and then calcualte the previous reporting date but i am not getting the desired result. 

 

Screenshot:

vivek280393_1-1731334730731.png

 

Formula used:

Previous_Percentage_Coverage =
var currentdate = DEEP_SECURITY[REPORTING_DATE]
var previousdate = MAXX(FILTER(ALL(DEEP_SECURITY),DEEP_SECURITY[REPORTING_DATE] < currentdate),DEEP_SECURITY[REPORTING_DATE])
var currentsysname = max(DEEP_SECURITY[SYSTEM_NAME])
var previoussysname = MAXX(FILTER(ALL(DEEP_SECURITY),DEEP_SECURITY[SYSTEM_NAME] <> currentsysname),DEEP_SECURITY[SYSTEM_NAME])
RETURN
MAXX(FILTER(ALL(DEEP_SECURITY),DEEP_SECURITY[REPORTING_DATE] = previousdate && DEEP_SECURITY[SYSTEM_NAME] <> previoussysname
),
DEEP_SECURITY[avg_percentage_covered])
 
Actual output i am expecting is below,

Percentage CoverageReporting DateSystem NamePrevious Percentage Coverage
85.297/1/2018DS AWS 2.0 
95.57/1/2018DS AWS 1.0 
90.488/1/2018DS AWS 2.085.29
92.868/1/2018DS AWS 1.095.5

 

Please check and let me know where is the issue

Try this Dax 

Previous_Percentage_Coverage =
VAR currentdate = DEEP_SECURITY[REPORTING_DATE]
VAR currentsysname = DEEP_SECURITY[SYSTEM_NAME]
VAR previousdate = MAXX(
FILTER(
ALL(DEEP_SECURITY),
DEEP_SECURITY[REPORTING_DATE] < currentdate &&
DEEP_SECURITY[SYSTEM_NAME] = currentsysname
),
DEEP_SECURITY[REPORTING_DATE]
)
RETURN
CALCULATE(
MAX(DEEP_SECURITY[avg_percentage_covered]),
DEEP_SECURITY[REPORTING_DATE] = previousdate,
DEEP_SECURITY[SYSTEM_NAME] = currentsysname
)
