LastDate minus 1
I need a filter for (Last Business Day). We are open Monday through Friday and have hundreds of transaction each day. One of my sales tabs is "Today's Sales". I use the "LastDate" formula to display all the sales happening on today's date.
I also need a tab titled "Last Business Day Sales". This way anyone can see what happen the prior business day before those sales get lumped into the "MTD Sales" tab
Can I edit the formula below to use the second to last date? I've tried -1 about everywhere in this formula and it doesn't seem to work.
Today's Sales = CALCULATE([Total Sales],LASTDATE(SALES[Ship Date]))
Hi Usates,
If you have a date table the you should use the DAX function DateAdd
or the workaround could be
YesterDay Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[SalesValue]);DATESBETWEEN(Sales[ShipDate];LASTDATE(SALES[ShipDate])-1;LASTDATE(SALES[ShipDate])-1))

I have a date table and I'd love to use it but I can't fix the holiday and weekend issue. On Monday's, I need to display Friday's sales on the "Last Business Day" tab and on July 5th(Tuesday this year), I needed to display Friday's sales on the "Last Business Day" tab since July 4th was on a Monday.
Does anyone know of a way to incorporate holidays in a date table?
Thanks for your help on this.

Hi
You should consider adding a column in your date table that for each of your dates then states the Last Business day
The formula fails because you shouldnt use sum() around your measure [Total Sales]
And yes I use semicolons as separator :)
