Filtering by Financial Year
I think I know what is going on, your table name need to be in single quote because its name is DAte, try following
Date = IF ( AND ( 'Date'[Date1] >= DATE ( 2015, 4, 1 ), 'Date'[Date1] <= DATE ( 2016, 3, 31 ) ), "FY15", "")
i added the following into the forumla bar.
I am not sure if is it correct or it need to be done some other way?
my end result is i need to have a visual that filter by Financial Year.
any help & hint is appreicated.
Anonymous aha, you are adding date column which is new column and you are referring the same column in your DAX expression and that's the issue, replace Date with Date1 which I believe already exists in your table
Date = IF ( AND ( Date[Date1] >= DATE ( 2015, 4, 1 ), Date[Date1] <= DATE ( 2016, 3, 31 ) ), "FY15", IF ( AND ( Date[Date1] >= DATE ( 2016, 4, 1 ), Date[Date1] <= DATE ( 2017, 3, 31 ) ), "FY16", IF ( AND ( Date[Date1] >= DATE ( 2017, 4, 1 ), Date[Date1] <= DATE ( 2018, 3, 31 ) ), "FY17", IF ( AND ( Date[Date1] >= DATE ( 2018, 4, 1 ), Date[Date1] >= DATE ( 2019, 3, 31 ) ), "FY18", 0 ) ) ))
i replaced the date with date1 but it still say "the syntax for '[date1] is incorrect.
my current date1 format is as shown in pic.
not sure where i have gone wrong.Anonymous lets add a simple expression to make sure it is working, add new column with following expression
Date 2 = Your Table Name[Date1]
Anonymous let's add one if condition in date and see if it works and then add the next add one and so on until you get where the issue is. I'm wondering last value you are return is 0 which should be string like "0" , but I don;t think that is the issue though.
parry2k i added only 1 condition and is the same error "the syntax for [Date1] is incorrect.
