FILTER by previous available date

[Delphia]

Hi dear community,

I need your help with filtering data. I need to create a measure that will calculate total amount for the previous date in table.

I have the following measure:

Totals Yesterday = CALCULATE(

                                                  SUM(table[sale]),

                                                  FILTER(

                                                             'Date', 'Date'[Date] = TODAY () - 1

                                                   )

                                )

It works well. The problem appears when I don't have values for Yesterday but the last values were added several days ago.

In this case I want to show data for the previous available date in table.

I would appreciate your help!

Solved with the following measure, proposed by @Anonymous in another topic

Previous Value  =

VAR CurrentDate = MAX(cleaned_row_count[Date])

VAR ClientID = MAX('table'[id])

VAR PreviousDate = CALCULATE(MAX(cleaned_row_count[Date]),ALL('Date'[Date]),ALL(cleaned_row_count[Date]),FILTER('Date',[Date]<CurrentDate))

VAR Result = CALCULATE(SUM(cleaned_row_count[Number of Rows]),ALL('Date'[Date]),ALL(cleaned_row_count[Date]),FILTER('Date',[Date]=PreviousDate))

RETURN Result

@Delphia , With help from date table

max date

Measure =
var _max = maxx(allselected('Date'), Date[Date])
return
CALCULATE([sales],filter('Date', 'Date'[Date] =_max))

Last Day Non Continuous = CALCULATE([sales],filter(ALLSELECTED('Date'),'Date'[Date] =MAXX(FILTER(ALLSELECTED('Date'),'Date'[Date]<max('Date'[Date])),'Date'[Date])))

Day Intelligence - Last day, last non continous day

Thank you so much for your answer.

It doesn't work for me. Let me precise a little bit my question. My scheme looks like: 

Above in my question I replaced "Number of Rows" by "Sale", sorry.

I created a measure using your patern and get the following:

Last Day Non Continuous =

                                         CALCULATE(

                                                  SUM(cleaned_row_count[Number of Rows]),

                                                  FILTER(

                                                            ALLSELECTED('Date'),

                                                            'Date'[Date] = MAXX(

                                                                          FILTER(

                                                                          ALLSELECTED('Date'),

                                                                         'Date'[Date] < MAX('Date'[Date])

                                                                          ),

                                                            'Date'[Date]

                                                            )

                                                  )

                                       )
Nevertheless, my table shows empty values for Last Day Non Continuous.

For Total Rows Today column I use the following measure:

Total Rows Today =

var total = CALCULATE(sum(cleaned_row_count[Number of Rows]),

            FILTER(cleaned_row_count, cleaned_row_count[Date]= TODAY()))

return

IF(ISBLANK(total), 0, total)

Date table is autogenerated: 

Date = CALENDARAUTO()

So maximum value is the end of this year: 2021-12-31

Thank you in advance for your help!

@Delphia 

This will work:

Previous Date rows =
VAR PrevDate =
    MAXX (
        FILTER (
            ALL ( 'Date' ),
            'Date'[Date] < MAX ( 'Date'[Date] )
                && NOT ( ISBLANK ( [Number of rows] ) )
        ),
        'Date'[Date]
    )
RETURN
    IF (
        ISBLANK ( [Number of rows] ),
        BLANK (),
        CALCULATE (
            [Number of rows],
            FILTER ( ALL ( 'Date' ), 'Date'[Date] = PrevDate )
        )
    )

Thank you Paul. Please find the reponse of the system on the screenshot.

Nevertheless, the column Number of Rows exists...

@Delphia 

[Number of rows] is a measure:

Number of rows =SUM(cleaned_row_count[Number of Rows])

[Delphia]

Thank you, Paul. It works as a measure, nevertheless, it shows todays values, not for the previous date. Please have a look at my screenshot:

Thank you one more time!

Hi @Delphia,

Can you please share a sample pbix file with some dummy data(keep the raw tale schema) and the expected results? It should help us clarify your scenario and test to coding formula.
