Hi
I am working on a dashboard that has been developed by someone else
I am struggling to breakdown this measure and what it is actually doing
Can someone please assist?
Thank you in advance
Solved! Go to Solution.
Its easier to read if its properly formatted
CALCULATE (
COUNTA ( 'Export'[Order] ),
DATESBETWEEN (
'Export'[Actual_Finish_date],
MAX ( 'Export'[Actual_Finish_date] )
- WEEKDAY ( MAX ( 'Export'[Actual_Finish_date] ), 3 ),
MAX ( 'Export'[Actual_Finish_date] )
)
)
So
MAX ( 'Export'[Actual_Finish_date] )
- WEEKDAY ( MAX ( 'Export'[Actual_Finish_date] ), 3 )
gives the Monday of the relevant date. Using that as a parameter to DATESBETWEEN it is counting the number of orders within that week.
I think its counting the number of orders in a given week, starting from the Monday
What is the purpose of this part of the measure? weekday(max('Export'[Actual_Finish_date]),3), ?
Thank you
