Measure based on Today's date

[harrinho]

Hi Community, 

I have the following calculation but I want to add an extra criterion to calculate this only if today's date is > 3. In other words, bring in the results for the following calculation only if today's day is Wednesday and onwards

Billable Util_CDL_WEEK = CALCULATE(SUM('cdl weekly'[Hours]),'TIME CATEGORY'[Time Category All]="Billable")/CALCULATE(SUM('cdl weekly'[Hours]),'TIME CATEGORY'[Time Category All]="Available")

I amend it to 

Billable Util_CDL_WEEK = IF(TODAY()<3,"No Util",CALCULATE(SUM('cdl weekly'[Hours]),'TIME CATEGORY'[Time Category All]="Billable")/CALCULATE(SUM('cdl weekly'[Hours]),'TIME CATEGORY'[Time Category All]="Available"))

but it doesn't seem to work. It doesn't return any errors but it doesn't return the correct outcome either

you need to use WEEKDAY

WEEKDAY(TODAY(),2)<3

depending on whether the week starts on Saturday or Sunday you should pass a proper parameter instead of 2

Thank you @Stachu. The week starts on Sunday, what would be the proper parameter?

Hi @harrinho,

Based on the syntax of WEEKDAY function, by default the day ranges from 1 (Sunday) to 7 (Saturday).

Syntax : WEEKDAY(<date>, <return_type>)

<return_type>:

A number that determines the return value:

Return type: 1, week begins on Sunday (1) and ends on Saturday (7). numbered 1 through 7.

Return type: 2, week begins on Monday (1) and ends on Sunday (7).

Return type: 3, week begins on Monday (0) and ends on Sunday (6).numbered 1 through 7.

For your scenario, your return type could be 1.

Best Regards,

Cherry
