Ignore filter year selection
Alright, I think I understood you now. What you want is to show the previous year no matter what year is selected. For eg, if we are on 2016, you always want to show 2015 data, even if we select 2010 or 2012 or any other year on filter.
1) Create a measure that will show the max year available in the fact table
MaxYear=CALCULATE(MAX('Fact'[Year]), ALL('Fact'[Year]))
2) Now make the measure as you want. Instead of hardcoding 2014, you can use the measure which will always return the max year available in fact, irrespective of the filter.
test=CALCULATE(SUM('Fact'[Sales]), FILTER(ALL('Fact'[Year]), 'Fact'[Year]=[MaxYear]-1))
Is this what you want? :)
I'm not the best with Spanish/Portuguese but I'm thinking that your filter for year (Ano) being set to equal MAX of Ano is the problem here. So, I'm thinking that unless the Ano you are selecting is the MAX of Ano - 1 in your table, your measure is going to be blank.
As Greg_Deckler said, if you just use Ano = max(ano -1), you will only see value for the year which is the max year - 1 and blank for everythign else.
Which is why I have included the ALL(Ano) to override the context of the year. Now you should be able to select any year, and the measure should show year -1 of the selected year.
I guys,
That doesn't solve my problem.
When i select a year from the slicer object , the table still become empty.
There is a way when i select year from the slicer object and the values remain the same(check formula above)
Grow Year -1 = CALCULATE(SUM('Inscrições'[Value]);'Inscrições'[Year]=2014)
The problem is that the year is "hardcoded" , and when i use 'Inscrições'[Year] = max('Inscrições'[Year]) , a error is shown " A function 'MAX' has been used in a True/False expression that is used as a table filter expression. This is not allowed."
Thanks !
Did you try the formula I suggested?
Grow Year -1 = CALCULATE(SUM('Inscrições'[Value]);FILTER('Inscrições';not('Inscrições'[Pais]="Portugal"));FILTER(ALL('Inscrições'[Ano]); 'Inscrições'[Ano]=max('Inscrições'[Ano])-1)))
It should not give that error as you are using a filter function, and hence it should not give the error that you said. Can you try using my formula and then pasting the error?
Note how I used that formula in my model. You can see the test measure (where I used the formula I suggested to you) returning the previous year values.
It will also work if you use the Year in a filter.
You know what, I just noticed this. Your Year column (Anos) in the filter clause comes from the fact table (Inscricoes). Ideally, it should come from a dimension tableand yuo should be using the year column from your dimension in your filter.
So in short, make a Ano table with a column for the year and then relate it to your fact table (Inscricoes) by the year. Then my formula should be changed to
= CALCULATE(SUM('Inscrições'[Value]);FILTER('Inscrições';not('Inscrições'[Pais]="Portugal"));FILTER(ALL('Ano'[Ano]); 'Ano'[Ano]=max('Ano'[Ano])-1)))
