I hope someone can help me. I have tried a number of different calculations by nothing is really working.
What formula do I need to calculate the number of days left in the year?
What formula do I need to show the % of the year that has elapsed?
Thank you!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Please ues the DAX below.
DayOfYear = DATEDIFF ( DATE ( YEAR ( 'Date'[Date]), 1, 1 ), 'Date'[Date], DAY ) + 1
Elapsed = (DATEDIFF ( DATE ( YEAR ( 'Date'[Date]), 1, 1 ), 'Date'[Date], DAY ) + 1)/(DATEDIFF ( DATE ( YEAR ( 'Date'[Date]), 1, 1 ), DATE ( YEAR ( 'Date'[Date]), 12, 31 ), DAY ) + 1)

Thanks for the reply Charlie. I made a simply tabe with a date colum in this format 1/1/2017 and included all dates to 12/31/2017. I tried both DAX formulas in two different colums (DayOfYear and Elapsed) and keep getting this error:
Too many arguments were passed to the YEAR function. The maximum argument count for the function is 1
Can you advise?
Thanks!

I tried it again and your solution worked perfectly! Thank you!!
How do i get todays information to show up now in my card visualization? Do I need to create a measure?
I would like to be able to refresh and have it will always bring in the correct % through the year (year elapsed).

You can just create a measure like
today = TODAY() to get current date, and show this measure in a card visual.
