I'm trying to create a visual where a user can quickly look at year-over-year sales comparisons
My current visual: column 1 = date, column 2 = sales for selected date range (in 2019) & column 3 = sales from same period last year.
Column 2 measure = CALCULATE(SUM('Weekly Sales'[Sales]),FILTER('Weekly Sales','Weekly Sales'[InvoiceDate]))
Column 3 measure = CALCULATE(SUM('Weekly Sales'[Sales]),SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('Calendar (2)'[Date]))
A relationship between Calendar (2) & Invoice date has been created.
Column 3 is yeiding the results for a specific date as one would expect. However, the subtotal on the visual is not correct. I have been trying HASONEFILTER & HASONEVALUE with no success. Any help would be appreciated!
This looks like a measure totals problem. Very common. See my post about it here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/DAX-Commands-and-Tips/Dealing-with-Measure-Totals/td-p/63376
Also, this Quick Measure, Measure Totals, The Final Word should get you what you need:
https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Quick-Measures-Gallery/Measure-Totals-The-Final-Word/m-p/547907
Also, look for Matrix Measure Triple Threat Rock & Roll in the Quick Measures gallery, provides even more guidance on things like this.
Thanks for the reference but still not getting there... tried this formula and still getting wrong totals:
Hi mweber,
If possible, could you please inform me more detailed information(such as your sample data and your expected output or your pbix file)? Then I will help you more correctly.
Please do mask sensitive data before uploading.
Thanks for your understanding and support.
