Dateadd + another hierarchy

Hi,

I made a measure that calculates the% change between the previous month, quarter, year.

% Change Units = 

VAR CurrentValue = 'Sales Ths Units'[Total Sales Units]

VAR PreviousValue =

SWITCH(

TRUE(),

ISINSCOPE('Timedimension'[Date].[Day]), CALCULATE('Sales Ths Units'[Total Sales Units], DATEADD('Timedimension'[Date], -1, DAY)),

ISINSCOPE('Timedimension'[Date].[Month]), CALCULATE('Sales Ths Units'[Total Sales Units], DATEADD('Timedimension'[Date], -1, MONTH)),

ISINSCOPE('Timedimension'[Date].[Quarter]), CALCULATE('Sales Ths Units'[Total Sales Units], DATEADD('Timedimension'[Date], -1, QUARTER)),

ISINSCOPE('Timedimension'[Date].[Year]), CALCULATE('Sales Ths Units'[Total Sales Units], DATEADD('Timedimension'[Date], -1, YEAR))

)

RETURN

DIVIDE(

CurrentValue - PreviousValue,

PreviousValue)


It work when I use on a graph automatic date hierarchy from PowerBi.

 

Now I have to add another hierarchy with date on the graph (I cant use date hierarchy from PowerBI):

When I added this hierarchy my value : "% Change Units" is blank on the graph. 

How I can fix it? Thanks!

Hi  @paulinamaj ,

 

I guess your measure doesnt contain the hierarchy you added in,that's why you see blank results.You need to add the hierarchy in your measure.

 

Best Regards,
Kelly
