How to show the yearly saving when I have as date range the contract start and end date

[GabrielaD]

Hello PBI experts 🙂 

I am a begginer in Power BI and I struggling with a topic, searched for answeres but I found myself stuck as nothing that I've tried helped me.

In my Report I have the annual savings, and I want to show it for every contractual year, but the only date range that I have is the start and end date of the contract.

I created a calendar using this measure: 

Calendar = CALENDAR(MINX('Awarding report_Global',[Contract_Start (mm/dd/yyyy)]),MAXX('Awarding report_Global',[Contract_End (mm/dd/yyyy)])) 

Consequently, it's showing me the annual saving only in the last contractual year.

Could you provide your advice? Again, I am a beginner and don't have so much DAX knowledge 🙂 

Thank you!

@amitchandak thank you very much for your quick response!

I tried creating above measure but I receive the following error : The expression refers to multiple columns. Multiple columns cannot be converted to a scalar value.

Do you have any idea why? 😞

@GabrielaD , Create one like

Calendar =
var _min1 = MINX('Awarding report_Global',[Contract_Start (mm/dd/yyyy)])
var _max1 = MAXX('Awarding report_Global',[Contract_End (mm/dd/yyyy)])
var _min = eomonth(_min1, -1*month(_min1))+1
var _min = eomonth(_max1, 12-1*month(_max1))+1
return
Calendar = Addcolumns(calendar(_min, _max), "Month no" , month([date])
, "Year", year([date])
, "Month Year", format([date],"mmm-yyyy")
, "Month year sort", year([date])*100 + month([date])
, "Qtr Year", format([date],"yyyy-\QQ")
, "Qtr", quarter([date])
, "Month",FORMAT([Date],"mmmm")
, "Month sort", month([DAte])
, "Is Today" ,if([Date]=TODAY(),"Today",[Date]&"")
, "Month Type", Switch( True(),
eomonth([Date],0) = eomonth(Today(),-1),"Last Month" ,
eomonth([Date],0)= eomonth(Today(),0),"This Month" ,
Format([Date],"MMM-YYYY") )
,"Year Type" , Switch( True(),
year([Date])= year(Today()),"This Year" ,
year([Date])= year(Today())-1,"Last Year" ,
Format([Date],"YYYY")
)
)
