DAX Measure to sum based of relative date

‎01-29-2021 01:10 PM

Hello all,

 

I am trying to sum up a metric based off a relative date. The goal is to sum "Users" for the last 28 days, this is what I came up with but is not calculating correctly:

 

 Users =
VAR BeginDate = MAX(Date[Date]) -28
VAR EndDate = MAX(Date[Date])
RETURN
CALCULATE(sum (Volume[Monthly]), Volume[Type] = "Active Users" , DATESBETWEEN(Date[Date],BeginDate,EndDate)
)
 
what am I missing here?
 
Thank you!

Hi,

Your measure seems correct.  Ensure that in your slicer/filter/visual, you drag the Date from the Date Table.  If it still does not help, then share the link from where i can download your PBI file.

@FatBlackCat30 your reply is not very helpful, what is on rows, columns?

@FatBlackCat30 how are you visualizing the data? Is your date table "marked as date table"
