DAX Formula for a date field

Hello Community!

 

I have the Calendar table related to the Table1 table by the field Calendar[Date] - Table1[Date] and related to the Table2 table by the field Calendar[Date] - Table2[Date].

I need a mesure to calculate the sum of values of the Amount field according to this condition:

  • The amounts of the records in Table 1 for the period 01/01/selected year to 03/31/selected year plus the records in Table 2 for the period 09/01/selected year+1 to 12/31/selected year+1

 

And I create this measure:

Measure = 

VAR varYear = SELECTEDVALUE(Calendar[Year])
RETURN
CALCULATE(SUM(Table2[Amount]), ALL(Calendar), DATESBETWEEN(Table2[Date], DATE(varYear+1,09,01), DATE(varYear+1,12,31))) +
CALCULATE(SUM(Table1[Amount]), DATESBETWEEN(Table1[Date], DATE(varYear,01,01), DATE(varYear,03,31)))

 

But the measurement results are not correct because it returns records that do not match the condition I need. What is wrong with the DAX formula?

Thank you.

Of course:

Measure = 

   VAR varYear = SELECTEDVALUE(Calendar[Year])
   VAR varPVY = CALCULATE(SUM(Table2[Amount]), ALL(Calendar), DATESBETWEEN(Table2[Date], DATE(varYear+1,09,01), DATE(varYear+1,12,31)))
   VAR varACY = CALCULATE(SUM(Table1[Amount]), ALL(Calendar), DATESBETWEEN(Table1[Date], DATE(varYear,01,01), DATE(varYear,03,31)))
RETURN
   varPVY + varACY

Hi @amitchandak,

Thank you for your comment but the result it's the same as with my formula. Any other suggestions?

@Raul , Try like

 


Measure =
VAR varYear = SELECTEDVALUE(Calendar[Year])
RETURN
CALCULATE(SUM(Table2[Amount]), filter(Table2, Table2[Date]>= DATE(varYear+1,09,01) && Table2[Date]<= DATE(varYear+1,12,31))) +
CALCULATE(SUM(Table1[Amount]), filter(Table1,Table1[Date] >= DATE(varYear,01,01) && Table1[Date] <= DATE(varYear,03,31)))

 

or


Measure =
VAR varYear = SELECTEDVALUE(Calendar[Year])
RETURN
CALCULATE(SUM(Table2[Amount]), filter(Table2, Table2[Date]>= DATE(varYear+1,09,01) && Table2[Date]<= DATE(varYear+1,12,31)), all(calendar)) +
CALCULATE(SUM(Table1[Amount]), filter(Table1,Table1[Date] >= DATE(varYear,01,01) && Table1[Date] <= DATE(varYear,03,31)), all(calendar))

Hi @amitchandak and @Anonymous 

I solved my question by creating a variable for each option and sum both variables.
Thank you for your help.

Hi @Raul,

I'm glad to hear you find the solution.😊

BTW, did you mind sharing a sample formula for this? I think it will help other users who were looking for a similar formula.

Of course:

   VAR varPVY = CALCULATE(SUM(Table2[Amount]), ALL(Calendar), DATESBETWEEN(Table2[Date], DATE(varYear+1,09,01), DATE(varYear+1,12,31)))
   VAR varACY = CALCULATE(SUM(Table1[Amount]), ALL(Calendar), DATESBETWEEN(Table1[Date], DATE(varYear,01,01), DATE(varYear,03,31)))
RETURN
   varPVY + varACY
