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
