Filtering/finding most common month & week with a Date/Time Format
I have a table that lists invoices along with a date column that is formatted like 12/12/2012 12:00:00 AM. I want to find (through DAX) the most frequently occuring month and week but am now sure how.
Hi,
Try this
- Create a Calendar Table with the following calculated colums to extract Month and Week: Month=FORMAT(Calendar[Date],"mmmm") and Week=WEEKNUM(Calendar[Date])
- Create a relationship from the Date column of your Data Table to the Date column of your Calendar Table
- Write this measure
Invoice count=COUNTA(Data[Invoice Number])
You may sort the measure in descending order.
Hi MichaiahGartner,
As davehus metioned, I made one sample for your reference.
1. Enter the sample data and create some calculated columns in the table.
Month = FORMAT(Invoice[Date],"mmmm")
weeknum = WEEKNUM(Invoice[Date])
2. Create the measures to achieve your goal.
Invoice Count Measure = COUNT(Invoice[Month])
Top Month = IF ( NOT ( ISBLANK ( Invoice[Invoice Count Measure] ) ), MAXX ( TOPN ( 1, SUMMARIZE ( Invoice, Invoice[Month], "Invoice Count", Invoice[Invoice Count Measure] ), [Invoice Count] ), Invoice[Month] ) )Top week = IF ( NOT ( ISBLANK ( Invoice[Invoice Count Measure] ) ), MAXX ( TOPN ( 1, SUMMARIZE ( Invoice, Invoice[weeknum], "Invoice Count", Invoice[Invoice Count Measure] ), [Invoice Count] ), Invoice[weeknum] ) )For more details, please check the pbix as attached.

Top Month = IF ( NOT ( ISBLANK ( "Invoice Count Measure" ) ), MAXX ( TOPN ( 1, SUMMARIZE ( 'Your Table', 'Date Table'[Month Name], "Invoice Count", "Invoice Count Measure" ), [Invoice Count] ), 'Date Table'[Month Name] ) )Hi - Please see the measure I've included for you. I'm assuming that you have a date table linked to the table and the measure is written with this in mind.
Hopefull this helps.
