Dynamic Quarter Selection
- 6 years ago
It was using LASTDATE('Asset type'[As_of_date]) In the Current Quarter downloads that was giving you the problem but we also didn't need the filter statement.
Current Quarter = VAR _current = FORMAT ( TODAY() ,"yyyy-\Qq" ) RETURN CALCULATE( SUM ( 'Asset type'[Downloads] ), 'Asset type'[Fiscal_quarter] = _current )Last Quarter = var _last = FORMAT ( EOMONTH( TODAY(), -3 ),"yyyy-\Qq") RETURN CALCULATE( SUM ( 'Asset type'[Downloads] ), 'Asset type'[Fiscal_quarter] = _last )For your second question a couple of notes.
First you should always write a measure rather than just pulling a value into a visual so for downloads we have.
Total Downloads = SUM ( 'Asset type'[Downloads] )This lets us use that in further measures, prior week for example:
PW Downloads = CALCULATE ( [Total Downloads] , DATEADD ( 'Asset type'[As_of_date] , -7 , DAY ) )Then we can put them together for a week over week change
WoW downloads = [Total Downloads] - [PW Downloads]And again for the % change
WoW % Change = DIVIDE ( [WoW downloads], [PW Downloads] )My updated file is attached for you to take a look at.
If this solves your issues please mark it as the solution. Kudos 👍 are nice too.
Hi Everyone,
I am creating calculated measures to report out on some seats data. I am trying to use the fiscal qtr filter in a calculated measure to calculate "Current Quarter" and "last quarter" like this,
I can use "dateadd" for date formats and number formats. How do I make this quarter selection dynamic for text formats("Q4-2019"), so that I don't have to make this change in the formula, every quarter?
Any chance we could see some sample raw data? Please see this post regarding How to Get Your Question Answered Quickly: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/How-to-Get-Your-Question-Answered-Quickly/ba-p/38490
