Need DAX help!

Hi, 

 

I need help with writing some DAX to calculate values in a column within date periods.

 

For example, I would need to know the total of B, D and M's Group 1 is getting in all scores in Feb-18, Sep-19 ect? and it would be for all groups.

 

Any help is much appreciated! 

 

 

  • Hi,

    In the Query Editor, right click on the first 2 columns and select "Unpivot Other columns".  Create a Calendar Table and write calculated column formulas for extracting Year, Month name and Month number.  Sort the Month name by the month number.  Create a relationships (Many to One and Single) between the Date column in your table to the Date column in the Calendar Table.  To your visual/slicer/filter, drag any date dimension from the Calendar Table.  Drag Value and school columns to your table/matrix visual and write this measure

    Measure = countrows(Data)

    Hope this helps.
