    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    I have copy paste some lines on the contacts and changed the year this gave me the folllowing values per week:

     

    The cumulative values are the ones until that week (excluding current week) this table was made only making the use of the contacts table now making use of the measure I have sent earlier:

    Pre-Launch Contacts = 
VAR ProductYW = FIRSTNONBLANK('Product Activity'[YW],0)

RETURN

CALCULATE(
    SUM('CS Data'[Contacts Answered]),
    FILTER(ALL('CS Data'[YW]),'CS Data'[YW] < ProductYW))

     

    You can see that when you cross filter this with the YW of the product dates you get the results you need.

Hi Anonymous ,

 

Don't know how you are presenting the information in your report but believe this is related with the type of filtering you are doing, that can be impacted by other context (filters, columns, values).

 

Try the following change to your formula:

Pre-Launch Contacts = 
VAR ProductYW = FIRSTNONBLANK('Product Activity'[YW],0)

RETURN

CALCULATE(
    SUM('CS Data'[No of Contacts Answered]),
    FILTER(ALL('CS Data''CS Data'[YW]),'CS Data'[YW] < ProductYW)

Hi Miguel,

 

Thanks for your suggestion.

 

The syntax didn't seem to work when copying in your solution. I tried to change it to this but this produces the same results as before:

Pre-Launch Contacts = 
VAR ProductYW = FIRSTNONBLANK('Product Activity'[YW],0)

RETURN

CALCULATE(
    SUM('CS Data'[No of Contacts Answered]),
    FILTER(
        ALL('CS Data'),
        'CS Data'[YW] < ProductYW
    )
)

        Hi Anonymous ，

        I tried to create a table visual which apply your measure [Pre-Launch Contacts] and the field [YW] of table Product Activity on it base on your provided excel data, it can return the result just as shown in below screenshot.

        How did you set the visual? Did you put the field [YW] of table Product Activity on your visual?

        Best Regards
