Date Year Functions in DAX Issue

Hi!  I am working on a Dax to have a year filter dynamically.    I have two columns to consider for Date 1. Year_String = Example Value = "2022 - 23". Data Type Strimg 2. Year_Num  = Example Val...

    Hi jayasurya_prud ,

     

    Are table and table the same table? There is no [no of grad] in the sample data, and I try to make you understand how to dynamically group calculations.

    Since you want dynamic results. If it's a calculated column, please try

    year column = 
var counts = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS('Table'),FILTER('Table',[Year_String]=MAX('Table'[Year_String])))
var grads_attr =CALCULATE(COUNTROWS('Table'),FILTER('Table',[no of years] = 1&&[Not Active]<>"Yes"&&[Year_String] =MAX('Table'[Year_String])))
return counts - grads_attr

    If it's a measure, please try

    year measure = 
var counts = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS('Table'),FILTER(ALLSELECTED('Table'),[Year_String]=MAX('Table'[Year_String])))
var grads_attr =CALCULATE(COUNTROWS('Table'),FILTER(ALLSELECTED('Table'),[no of years] = 1&&[Not Active]<>"Yes"&&[Year_String] =MAX('Table'[Year_String])))
return counts-grads_attr

    We often use FILTER(ALLSELECTED('Table'),[Year_String]=MAX('Table'[Year_String]) to group in measures and use FILTER('Table',[Year_String]=EARLIER('Table'[Year_String]) to group in calcualted columns.

jayasurya_prud , You can have column

 

max(Table[Year_num]) - [Year_num]

 

or a meausre

Maxx(allselected(Table),Table[Year_num]) - max(Table[Year_num]) 

 

 

If this does not help
Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.

I want help of date function in the filter. This is the dax I am trying

 

year_1 =
var counts = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(Table),Table[year_string] = "2022 - 23")
var grads_attr = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(table),table[no of grad] = 1,not(table[not active] in {"yes"}), table[year_string] = "2022 - 23")
return counts - grads_attr

 
this gives me the records of last year. But I have used the year value as Hard code value. I need change this to dynamic.
 
like wise I am using this formula for many years, 
 
year_2 =
var counts = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(Table),Table[year_string] = "2021 - 22")
var grads_attr = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(table),table[no of grad] = 1,not(table[not active] in {"yes"}), table[year_string] = "2021 - 22")
return counts - grads_attr
 
year_3 =
var counts = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(Table),Table[year_string] = "2020 - 21")
var grads_attr = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(table),table[no of grad] = 1,not(table[not active] in {"yes"}), table[year_string] = "2020 - 21")
return counts - grads_attr
 
year_4 =
var counts = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(Table),Table[year_string] = "2019 - 20")
var grads_attr = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(table),table[no of grad] = 1,not(table[not active] in {"yes"}), table[year_string] = "2019 - 20")
return counts - grads_attr
 
year_5 =
var counts = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(Table),Table[year_string] = "2018 - 19")
var grads_attr = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(table),table[no of grad] = 1,not(table[not active] in {"yes"}), table[year_string] = "2018 - 19")
return counts - grads_attr
 
year_6 =
var counts = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(Table),Table[year_string] = "2017 - 18")
var grads_attr = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(table),table[no of grad] = 1,not(table[not active] in {"yes"}), table[year_string] = "2017 - 18")
return counts - grads_attr
 
 
please help me with the dax.
