KPI Card Inifite number problem

Hello, 

 

I'm in the middle of creating a simple report, which uses KPI Card to display sales for current month, and sales for previous month. 

Although it works fine when there is a continuity for date, however problem occurs when there is a gap in months.

 

To avoid such situation when there is a sentence (Blank) (+Infinity), and display as target value "N/A", I've modifided measure which stands for sales for previous month.

 

 

Sales for previous month = 
var date1 = EDATE(MAX(DimCalendar[Date]),-1) // to jest november
var vvalue = CALCULATE(SUM(vFactSales[Sales]), YEAR(date1)  = YEAR(vFactSales[Date]) , MONTH(date1) = MONTH(vFactSales[Date]))

var vvalue2 = IF(ISBLANK(vvalue),"N/A",vvalue)
return vvalue2

 

So even though, it looks that in the table value for that measure is blank, and I write in my DAX code, that if it is blank then it should be "NA", it gives weird output. Could anyone help me or guide here, what I'm doing wrong?

 

Best regards,

Hubert

    Hi Berrcikk ,

    My test data is as follows:

    You can try the DAX below:

    Sales for current month = 
    VAR Current_Month = SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[date].[MonthNo])
    VAR SalesCurrentMonth = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[sales]), 'Table'[date].[MonthNo] = Current_Month)
    RETURN 
    IF(ISBLANK(SalesCurrentMonth), "N/A", SalesCurrentMonth)
    Sales for previous month = 
    VAR Current_Month = SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[date].[MonthNo])
    VAR Previous_Month = Current_Month - 1
    VAR SalesPreviousMonth = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[sales]), 'Table'[date].[MonthNo] = Previous_Month,ALL('Table'))
    RETURN IF(ISBLANK(SalesPreviousMonth), "N/A", SalesPreviousMonth)

     The final result looks like this:
