EDATE + CALCULATE

Good

I have a Logistic (fact_Excel_Logistic) table that has the following columns:

Date. Date on which the order goes out.

Final Restriction. Number of years of restriction depending on whether it is one country or another.

Type. Column with transport type. I have two types: Temporary or Definitive

What I intend to do is take the Date column of the Logistic table and add the number of years depending on the country so that it gives me an end date. For example if I have an order date on 02-03-21 and the number of years in that country is 4 years, give me an end date 02-03-25.

In addition to that I want to do it filtering only for those orders that the Type = Temporary.

I propose it in two steps:

  1. I ultilizo the EDATE to get the final date.
  2. I use CALCULATE to be able to filter

That is what I am proposing. But it backs up for me:

TemploraryRestriction =

VAR _EndDate= MINX(

'fact_Excel_Logistic',

EDATE('fact_Excel_Logistic'[Date],MONTH('fact_Excel_Logistic'[Final Restriction])*12))

VAR TemporaryFilter= CALCULATE(

_EndDate,'fact_Excel_Logistic'[Type]="Temporary")

Return

TemporaryFilter

In addition, I would like Type=Temporary to execute the operation, and for Type= Definitive to return "Not applicable".

Thank you very much for your help.

Best regards.

Thanks for the answer, but I always try to avoid calculated columns and do it through measurements.

I have thought about this solution.

Do you see problems or have any improvement?

TemploraryRestriction =

WHERE _EndDate= MINX(

'fact_Excel_Logistic',

EDATE('fact_Excel_Tráfico'[Date],'fact_Excel_Logistic'[Final Restriction]*12))

WHERE TemporaryFilter= CALCULATE(

_EndDate,'fact_Excel_Logistic'[Type]="Temporary")

WHERE TypeAd=

CALCULATE(

.MAX('fact_Excel_Logistic'[Type]),

ALL(dim_TimeTable)

)

Return

SWITCH(

TRUE()

,TypeAd="Temporary",TemporaryFilter

,TypeAd="Definitive","ON"

," ")

You'll tell me.

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

I created a calculated column, is this your expected output?

TemploraryRestriction = 
IF (
    'fact_Excel_Logistic'[Type] = "Temporary",
    EDATE (
        'fact_Excel_Logistic'[Date],
        'fact_Excel_Logistic'[Final Restriction] * 12
    )
)

If this doesn't work, could you please give the expected output? Thanks.

Best Regards,
Gao
