Issues with Calculate sum and getting infinity
- 2 years ago
Hello,
Thank you sevenhills and gmsamborn for your comments.
I figured it out with some manipulation. First i was referencing the wrong table in my code, so that solved most of it. But the comment on using all for the filter helped when i changed my calculated column to a measure.
The revised code for a measure would be:Schedule Hours = VAR Currentdate = 'Test Hours'[Period End Date] VAR HrsP1 = CALCULATE( SUM('Schedule'[Hrs per Period]), 'Schedule'[No of Periods] = 1, 'Schedule'[End Period] = Currentdate ) VAR HrsP2 = CALCULATE( SUM('Schedule'[Hrs per Period]), FILTER(ALL('Schedule'), 'Schedule'[No of Periods] > 1), FILTER(ALL('Schedule'), 'Schedule'[End Period] - (14*('Schedule'[No of Periods]-1)) <= Currentdate) ) RETURN HrsP1 + HrsP2Thank you to both.
I just want to add, if anyone else has similar issues with infinity, i think it's either incorrect reference or issues with relationships which causes a non stopping loop. That's what i found so far.
