Identify the continuous Increasing Data Points

Hello Experts,

 

I have data points based on a key and date as below-

 

Key            Date           Datapoint

s0012jan    12jan19        15

s0013jan    13jan19        16

s0014jan    14jan19        12

s0015jan     15jan19       13

s0016jan     16jan19        14

s0017jan    17jan19         15

 

I want to highlight the data points if there are 6 consecutive data points which are greater than previous (current data point is greater than previous).

Is it possible in DAX??

 

Thanks.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Please new measures as below:

check1 =
IF (
    SUM ( Data_4[Datapoint] )
        > CALCULATE (
            SUM ( Data_4[Datapoint] ),
            FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( Data_4 ), Data_4[Index] = MAX ( Data_4[Index] ) - 1 )
        ),
    1,
    0
)

check2 =
VAR start_index =
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( Data_4[Index] ),
        FILTER (
            ALLSELECTED ( Data_4 ),
            [check1] = 0
                && Data_4[Index] <= MAX ( Data_4[Index] )
        )
    )
VAR end_index =
    CALCULATE (
        MIN ( Data_4[Index] ),
        FILTER (
            ALLSELECTED ( Data_4 ),
            [check1] = 0
                && Data_4[Index] >= MAX ( Data_4[Index] )
        )
    )
RETURN
    IF (
        [check1] = 1,
        IF (
            end_index <> BLANK (),
            SUMX (
                FILTER (
                    ALLSELECTED ( Data_4 ),
                    Data_4[Index] <= end_index
                        && Data_4[Index] > start_index
                ),
                [check1]
            ),
            SUMX (
                FILTER (
                    ALLSELECTED ( Data_4 ),
                    Data_4[Index] <= MAX ( Data_4[Index] )
                        && Data_4[Index] > start_index
                ),
                [check1]
            )
        )
    )

Add [Check2] into visual level filter to highlight dates having 6 consecutive data points which are greater than previous.

Hi @v-yulgu-msft ,

 

Thank you so much for solution. If possible, can you explain 'start index' , 'stop index' and final loop of the dax.
