I am trying to sum charges for the two previous months. The grand total is right but the grand total is duplicating down every row. Below are the two DAX formulas I am using. I think the issue is with the "ALL" being in the formula but I can't figure it out. I also included a screenshot of the fields in my table.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @keckraguilar ,
You can change your expression to something like this.
Total Charges Current Month =
VAR __CurrentPatient =
SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Volume Files'[Patient Encounter - Service Line 2] )
VAR __MaxMonth =
MAXX ( ALL ( 'Volume Files' ), 'Volume Files'[Month Number] )
VAR __Result =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( 'Volume Files'[Total Charges] ),
FILTER (
ALL ( 'Volume Files' ),
[Month Number] = __MaxMonth
&& 'Volume Files'[Discharge Date - Fiscal Year] = "FY2024"
&& 'Volume Files'[Patient Encounter - Service Line 2] = __CurrentPatient
)
)
VAR __total =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( 'Volume Files'[Total Charges] ),
FILTER (
ALLSELECTED ( 'Volume Files' ),
[Month Number] = __MaxMonth
&& 'Volume Files'[Discharge Date - Fiscal Year] = "FY2024"
)
)
RETURN
IF (
ISINSCOPE ( 'Volume Files'[Patient Encounter - Service Line 2] ),
__Result,
__total
)
Total Charges Previous Month =
VAR __CurrentPatient =
SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Volume Files'[Patient Encounter - Service Line 2] )
VAR __MaxMonth =
MAXX ( ALL ( 'Volume Files' ), 'Volume Files'[Month Number] )
VAR __Result =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( 'Volume Files'[Total Charges] ),
FILTER (
ALL ( 'Volume Files' ),
[Month Number] = __MaxMonth - 1
&& 'Volume Files'[Discharge Date - Fiscal Year] = "FY2024"
&& 'Volume Files'[Patient Encounter - Service Line 2] = __CurrentPatient
)
)
VAR __total =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( 'Volume Files'[Total Charges] ),
FILTER (
ALLSELECTED ( 'Volume Files' ),
[Month Number] = __MaxMonth - 1
&& 'Volume Files'[Discharge Date - Fiscal Year] = "FY2024"
)
)
RETURN
IF (
ISINSCOPE ( 'Volume Files'[Patient Encounter - Service Line 2] ),
__Result,
__total
)

You can create one measure for your charges as Total Charges = SUM( 'Volume Files'[Total Charges] ), then create a second measure for prior month like Total Charges Previous Month = CALCULATE ([Total Charges], PREVIOUSMONTH ('DateTable', [Date]). Then, when you filter to the year and month your [Total Charges] measure will show that amount and [Total Charges Previous Month] will return the prior month.

I am trying to make the formula dynamic and not have to manually change the date field every month when data refreshes
