Hi,
I am using the same datesinperiod formula to show the last thirteen calender months in two measures: KFP for a region and portfolio share of a region.
KFP for a region uses the following formula, returns the correct values and the correct period.
For a portfolio share I am using the formula below. It returns the correct values, however the period is wrong. Please see picture 3 below.
The period I expect for both measures is in the red frame below.
Could anyone please help me to understand why the same formula is returning different periods and how I can troubleshoot?
Thank you in advance!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Try this. Make a measure that does just the % calc, no date shifting. Then you can use that in a measure with DATESINPERIOD and see if that gives us a better result.
Andel ev Portfolj East Timeline =
VAR _today = TODAY()
VAR _lastMonthStart = DATE(YEAR(_today), MONTH(_today) -1, 1)
VAR _LastMonthEnd = EOMONTH(lastMonthStart, 0)
RETURN
CALCULATE ( [Andel ev Portfolj East], DATESINPERIOD(InvoiceFakta[InvoideDate], _lastMonthEnd, -13, MONTH ) )
The measure called in the CALCULATE will be the one that just calculates the % you are looking for. Then this measure adjusts the timeframe.

Thank you, @jdbuchanan71 ! This variant is working. I have otherwise made a workaround and created a column in the date table that sets 1 to the 13 last months and filtered my visual on it.
What is it returning after you changed it?
@jdbuchanan71 Thank you for the tip! Unfortunately it is still returning the wrong period.
Is datesinperiod is supposed to filter on the dates period? Can it be a bugg?
I think you are getting into trouble using CALCULATE on a variable. Try the last line of your second measure like this.
RETURN
CALCULATE ( DIVIDE ( _East, _DVK), DATESINPERIOD(InvoiceFakta[InvoideDate], _lastMonthEnd, -13, MONTH ) )
