EARLIER function error - get count of IDs by month dynamically with slicer
Hello, I hope some help about this.
I managed to get the follwing graph
For this, I first created a column in ventas table with this Dax formula:
(This column is only a count of total sales or total ids in each month)
My problem comes because in this way, my measure is "static" and I need to be able to change it in base a slicer that have the segment column of segmentos table.
So I tried to put a single masure like this (using ALLSELECTED function), but I get error with EARLIER function (and I'm not really sure if this will give me the desire output that could be filtered with segment slicer)
I hope my explanation is enough and someone could give some help. Feel free to ask more details if necessary.
Yes, I tried the column you suggested, I even tried that before posting
But, finally I managed to get what I needed. Here the metric:
Venta Mens. Cosecha =CALCULATE (DISTINCTCOUNT(ventas[id]),FILTER(ALLSELECTED( ventas[Trunc date]),ventas[Trunc date]= LASTDATE( ventas[Trunc date])),USERELATIONSHIP(ventas[date], trx_diario[dia_venta]), ALLSELECTED(trx_diario[maduracion]))

Anonymous , You can use allselected and MAx in place earlier in a measure
Venta Mens. Cosecha =
var Venta_Mens. = CALCULATE (
COUNT(ventas[id]),
FILTER(ALLSELECTED(ventas), FORMAT(ventas[date], "yyyymm") = FORMAT(MAX(ventas[date]), "yyyymm") ))
return
CALCULATE (
MAX(Venta_Mens.),
USERELATIONSHIP(ventas[date], trx_diario[dia_venta])
)what are you trying to do here.
if you need last month data use time intelligence

I have to say that searching about EARLIER function I found what you say (replacing EARLIER by MAX), but the problem it that using the formula you suggest gives me error "The MAX function only accepts a column reference as an argument." (But this function is what I need, problem is the given error)
I don't get how to solve this error because as I understand so far, I only passing one argument to MAX function, but get error anyway.

Hi Anonymous ,
I would suggest you first create a column in your ventas table using below syntax:
Year-month=FORMAT(ventas[date], "yyyymm")Then create a measure as below:
Venta Mens. Cosecha = var Venta_Mens. = CALCULATE ( COUNT(ventas[id]), FILTER(ALLSELECTED(ventas),ventas[Year-month] = MAX(ventas[Year-month])) return CALCULATE ( MAX(Venta_Mens.), USERELATIONSHIP(ventas[date], trx_diario[dia_venta]) )Best Regards,

Hello, sorry for delay, but this is the same as amitchandak answer and as I said before, I get error in MAX function (you can see it in the next image). I still don't get how to fix it.

Hi Anonymous ，
Have you first created a column as I suggested before?
Year-month=FORMAT(ventas[date], "yyyymm")If you still get errors,would you pls provide some dummy data for test?
