I have a table with two columns of dates and associated sales values for different stores. So, a store can have multiple date values with sales values associated with them.
Store# Date1 Date2 SalesValue
1 02/21/2017 02/21/2017 22
1 02/18/2017 02/18/2017 13
2 02/19/2017 02/19/2017 40
2 02/21/2017 02/21/2017 22
I would like to get the rows where the latest date1 is >= latest date2 and sales value = 22.
So, I should end up with:
1 02/21/2017 02/21/2017 22
2 02/21/2017 02/21/2017 22
I tried to do the following but it did not work:
IF(MAXA(Date1) >= MAXA(Date2) && Sales = 22, "You got this", "You didnt)
I am getting an error which says: A snigle value column Sales in table "Sales" cannot be determined. This can happen when a measure or formula refers to column that contains many values without specifying an aggregation such as min,max, etc.
If I put a MAX around Sales, then it's grabbing the max values instead of 22. How can I get those two columns?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Based on the 3 conditions you sid, the calculated column is given below.
If you don't require any condition, you can just remove the && part for that condition
Test =
IF (
Sales[Date1] --Current row of Date1
>= CALCULATE ( MAX ( Sales[Date2] ), ALLEXCEPT ( Sales, Sales[Store#] ) ) --latest Date2 for a store
&& Sales[Date1]
>= CALCULATE ( MAX ( Sales[Date1] ), ALLEXCEPT ( Sales, Sales[Store#] ) ) --latest Date1 for a store
&& [SalesValue] = 22, -- sales value condition
"You got it",
"Failed"
)
Hi @kaka,
I just verified that the formula provided SqlJason should work in your scenario if it is used to create a calculate column.
If you need a measure to do calculation instead, then the formula below is for your reference.
Measure = IF (
MAX(Sales[Date1]) --Current row of Date1
>= CALCULATE ( MAX ( Sales[Date2] ), ALLEXCEPT ( Sales, Sales[Store#] ) ) --latest Date2 for a store
&& MAX(Sales[Date1])
>= CALCULATE ( MAX ( Sales[Date1] ), ALLEXCEPT ( Sales, Sales[Store#] ) ) --latest Date1 for a store
&& MAX([SalesValue]) = 22, -- sales value condition
"You got it",
"Failed"
)

This table gives you the results you posted, but I'm not 100% sure I fully understand.
Some more data might be helpful to understand the issue.
New Sales Table = FILTER(
Sales,
'Sales'[SalesValue]=22
&& 'Sales'[Date1] >= 'Sales'[Date2]
&& 'Sales'[Date1] = MAX('Sales'[Date1])
)
I am trying to come up with a formula which adds the text "You got it" or " Failed" in the last column called Results.
So, the "Results" table sould be filled out based on the rule which says that if the latest Date1 >= latest Date2 of a particulater store
and the salesvalue = 22, then print "You got it" in the Results column.
Store# Date1 Date2 SalesValue Results
1 02/21/2017 02/21/2017 22 You Got it
1 02/18/2017 02/18/2017 13 Failed
2 02/19/2017 02/19/2017 40 Failed
2 02/21/2017 02/21/2017 22 You Got it

&& [SalesValue] = 22, -- sales value condition
"You got it",
"Failed"
)
I honestly dont understand what this does. However, I gave it a try and Sales[Date1], it's actually wanting that date to be with either MAX< MIN, or any other aggregate function. So, after i fixed that, then you end up with "Failed".

So what you are saying is that you get only "Failed" after using my formula. Is my understanding correct?
This has to be a calculated column and not a measure. If you show with an image what you did (along with the error message as well as the calculation), I might be able to help you correct the error.
I created a calculated column like shown below
Test = IF(Sales[Date1]>=CALCULATE(MAX(Sales[Date2]), ALLEXCEPT(Sales, Sales[Store#])), [SalesValue])
Is this what you wanted? I also added a third store number just to check data
Edit
Forgot to add the SalesValue = 22 part
Test = IF(Sales[Date1]>=CALCULATE(MAX(Sales[Date2]), ALLEXCEPT(Sales, Sales[Store#])) && [SalesValue]=22, [SalesValue])
Can you please explain hwhat the formula says?
