Dax for previous date calculations
- 5 years ago
Anonymous For this type of time intelligence a date table will make your life a bit easier 🙂 I have the last week, last month, and last year of the weekly amounts created for you in the attached PBIX. Once you have a date table, the measures can be created.
Date table I used, (Modeling --> New Table):
Date =
ADDCOLUMNS (
CALENDAR (
DATE ( YEAR ( MIN ( 'Table'[WEEK_ENDING] ) ), 1, 1 ),
DATE ( YEAR ( MAX ( 'Table'[WEEK_ENDING] ) ), 12, 31 )
),
"Month", DATE ( YEAR ( [Date] ), MONTH ( [Date] ), 1 ),
"Year", DATE ( YEAR ( [Date] ), 1, 1 ),
"WeekOf",
[Date] - WEEKDAY ( [Date], 1 ) + 1,
"Monthly Week Number",
WEEKNUM ( [Date], 1 )
- WEEKNUM ( DATE ( YEAR ( [Date] ), MONTH ( [Date] ), 1 ), 1 ) + 1,
"Yearly Week Number", WEEKNUM ( [Date] )
)and the measures:
Total Starts = sum('Table'[STARTS])Last Week =
VAR lw =
SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Date'[Date] ) - 7
RETURN
IF ( ISBLANK ( lw ), BLANK (), CALCULATE ( [Total Starts], 'Date'[Date] = lw ) )Last Month =
VAR wn =
SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Date'[Monthly Week Number] )
RETURN
IF (
OR ( ISBLANK ( wn ), ISBLANK ( [Total Starts] ) ),
BLANK (),
CALCULATE (
[Total Starts],
PREVIOUSMONTH ( 'Date'[Date] ),
'Date'[Monthly Week Number] = wn
)
)Last Year =
VAR wn =
SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Date'[Yearly Week Number] )
RETURN
IF (
OR ( ISBLANK ( wn ), ISBLANK ( [Total Starts] ) ),
BLANK (),
CALCULATE (
[Total Starts],
PREVIOUSYEAR ( 'Date'[Date] ),
'Date'[Yearly Week Number] = wn
)
)Hope this helps! - 5 years ago
Hi Anonymous ,
If you don't want to create a calendar table, you can try this:
Week Number = WEEKNUM(MAX('Table'[WEEK_ENDING]),2)Month WeekNum = VAR CurrentWeekEnding = MAX ( 'Table'[WEEK_ENDING] ) RETURN WEEKNUM ( CurrentWeekEnding, 2 ) - WEEKNUM ( DATE ( YEAR ( CurrentWeekEnding ), MONTH ( CurrentWeekEnding ), 1 ), 2 ) + 1Last Week STARTS = SUMX ( FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[WEEK_ENDING] = MAX ( 'Table'[WEEK_ENDING] ) - 7 ), [STARTS] )Last Month STARTS = VAR CurrentMonthWeekNum = [Month WeekNum] VAR CurrentWeekEnding = MAX ( 'Table'[WEEK_ENDING] ) VAR CurrentYear = YEAR ( CurrentWeekEnding ) VAR CurrentMonth = MONTH ( CurrentWeekEnding ) RETURN SWITCH ( CurrentMonth, 1, SUMX ( FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ), YEAR ( 'Table'[WEEK_ENDING] ) = CurrentYear - 1 && MONTH ( 'Table'[WEEK_ENDING] ) = 12 && [Month WeekNum] = CurrentMonthWeekNum ), [STARTS] ), SUMX ( FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ), YEAR ( 'Table'[WEEK_ENDING] ) = CurrentYear && MONTH ( 'Table'[WEEK_ENDING] ) = CurrentMonth - 1 && [Month WeekNum] = CurrentMonthWeekNum ), [STARTS] ) )Last Year STARTS = VAR CurrentYearWeekNum = [Week Number] VAR CurrentWeekEnding = MAX ( 'Table'[WEEK_ENDING] ) VAR CurrentYear = YEAR ( CurrentWeekEnding ) VAR CurrentMonth = MONTH ( CurrentWeekEnding ) RETURN SUMX ( FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ), YEAR ( 'Table'[WEEK_ENDING] ) = CurrentYear-1 && [Week Number] = CurrentYearWeekNum ), [STARTS] )Best Regards,
