How to Calculate MTD Change using two different date values?
Hi,
I am working on a sales forecasting report and I am struggling on how to create a measure that would calculate the sum of 'Sales Data' [sales_price] but only for sales that had an order date and invoice date in the current month (MTD).
My table 'Sales Data' has the following fields I need to use:
[sales_price]
[order_date]
[invoice_date]
*also i need this to update with my date slicer that is using another measure 'FullDateKey'. There is a relationship for this measure between the date and the 'sales data'[invoice_date], not the order date.*
Thanks!

First of all, measure can't be put into the slicer.You can create a date table using the following formula, and then create a relationship between the date table and the invoice_date column.
FullDateKey = CALENDAR(DATE(2024,1,1),DATE(2024,12,31))Based on your needs, I have created the following table.
You can calculate total sales using the following Dax:
Measure = SUMX(FILTER('Table','Table'[invoice_date]<>BLANK()&&'Table'[order_date]<>BLANK()),'Table'[sales_price])Result:
