DAX Help

Please help guys

Days of Inventory in Hand (DIH) =  Average Inventory / Average daily Net Sales.

 

Now how to arrive average inventory:

 

From the selected date by user say 04.06.2020, go backward and check inventory value on 04.06.20, 04.05.20…………….. 04.07.19 (12 months)

Add all twelve months inventory and divide it by 12 so that you will get average inventory.

 

Average daily net sales =  say selected date 04.06.20 then ( Net sales from 04.07.19 to 04.06.20 (12 months) divide it by 12)

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

You will need a calendar table.

CALENDAR = CALENDAR(MIN('Table'[date]),MAX('Table'[date]))

Measure =
CALCULATE (
    AVERAGE ( 'Table'[inventory] ),
    FILTER (
        'Table',
        'Table'[date] <= SELECTEDVALUE ( 'CALENDAR'[Date] )
            && 'Table'[date] >= EDATE ( SELECTEDVALUE ( 'CALENDAR'[Date] ), -12 )
    )
)
    / CALCULATE (
        AVERAGE ( 'Table'[net sales] ),
        FILTER (
            'Table',
            'Table'[date] <= SELECTEDVALUE ( 'CALENDAR'[Date] )
                && 'Table'[date] >= EDATE ( SELECTEDVALUE ( 'CALENDAR'[Date] ), -12 )
        )
    )

@Anonymous , With date table you should be able to get rolling like

Rolling 12 = CALCULATE(sum(Sales[Net Sales]),DATESINPERIOD('Date'[Date],max('Date'[Date]),-12,MONTH)) 

Or
last 12 month = 
var _max = today() 
// or  // maxx(allselected('Date'),[date]) 
var _min = date(year(_max)-1,month(_max),Day(_max))
return
CALCULATE(Sum('Table'[Column]),filter(all('Date'),'Date'[Date]<=_max && 'Date'[Date]>=_min))

 

To get the best of the time intelligence function. Make sure you have a date calendar and it has been marked as the date in model view. Also, join it with the date column of your fact/s. Refer :
