    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 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

        Hello Anonymous ,


        Thanks for your support, I really appreciate it.

         

        The visual I am trying to create is as follows:

         

        • Each row should be the product activity description
        • Columns for each row will show the PA launch week (from PA table) and then the sum of contacts from the contacts table from before the launch week.

        As I said, I can get this to work when making a measure which looks at the sum of contacts that is EQUAL to the launch week but not a less than or greater than.
