LAST DATE
Hello,
I have a What-if parameter set to increment every 7 days.
For example, selected is LAST 7 DAYS from today’s date (August 21-27).
Goal: If a product does not have any sales within this selected parameter, the value should be = zero (0).
Problem: However, a “last 7-day period” value still shows up based on the “LAST” sale. If the last sale was a far back in March, the value shows the last-7 day sales in March.
Is there something missing in the formula below? Is it a problem with the DATESINPERIOD and LASTDATE?
Thanks.
---------------------------------
Parameter = GENERATESERIES(7, 365, 7)
Parameter Value = SELECTEDVALUE('Parameter'[Parameter], 7)
----------------------------------------
RollingSum =
VAR NumDays = Parameter[Parameter Value]
VAR RollingSum =
CALCULATE(
SUM('SALES_TABLE'[Invoiced QTY]),
DATESINPERIOD('SALES_TABLE'[Postingdate], LASTDATE ('SALES_TABLE'[Postingdate]),-Parameter[Parameter Value],DAY)
)
RETURN
RollingSum

Oros usually for time intelligence you should use a calendar table, and you can easily create one from my blog post here Create a basic Date table in your data model for Time Intelligence calculations | PeryTUS IT Solutions
but you can change your measure like this and try
RollingSum = VAR NumDays = Parameter[Parameter Value] VAR RollingSum = CALCULATE( SUM('SALES_TABLE'[Invoiced QTY]), DATESINPERIOD('SALES_TABLE'[Postingdate], TODAY(),-Parameter[Parameter Value],DAY) ) RETURN RollingSum✨ Follow us on LinkedIn
