DAX

[Anonymous]

Hi,
I want to calculate a count of values in a column from the date of whatever the start date in my table till my filter selection (year & month )-1
For example, If I have data from Jan 2021 and My filter selection will be June 2022, my calculation should show from Jan 2021 to May 2022.
Please help me with the correct query.
TIA.

Hi @Anonymous 

>> in the slicer im using only Year and Month value.

You can try this, create the measure below

count = 
var _EndDate=DATE(SELECTEDVALUE('calendar'[year]),SELECTEDVALUE('calendar'[month]),1)
return
 CALCULATE( COUNTROWS(FactTable),FILTER(ALL(FactTable),FactTable[Date]<_EndDate))

 calendar table

Hi,

Yes, there is. 

Transactional data have dates but in the slicer im using only Year and Month value.

I'm using this dax currently,

QueuedLeads = CALCULATE(COUNT(table1[objectid]),USERELATIONSHIP(Calender[Date],table1[enteredon]))

Its showing the count from Jan 2021 to till date but if i select the month from filter, it shows only for the current month.

@Anonymous , Refer suggestion by @Signore_Ands . If that does not help, then refer

Using date table, you need to measure like

YTD =
var _max = eomonth(if(isfiltered('Date'),MAX( 'Date'[Date]) , today()),-1)
var _min = eomonth(_max,-1*MONTH(_max))+1
return
CALCULATE([net] ,DATESBETWEEN('Date'[Date],_min,_max))

If you need a trend of 5 months then use an independent date table

//Date1 is independent Date table, Date is joined with Table
new measure =
var _max = eomonth(maxx(allselected(Date1),Date1[Date]),-1)
var _min = eomonth(_max,-1*MONTH(_max))+1
return
calculate( sum(Table[Value]), filter('Date', 'Date'[Date] >=_min && 'Date'[Date] <=_max))

Hi @Anonymous - 
Do you have a Date dimension in your model?  That would be the starting point.
And does your transactional data have dates (e.g. dd/mm/yy) or just a Year and Month value?
