Hello, I'm new to DAX and trying to get the difference between the dollar amount in each payment cycle using DAX.
I tried to search but if someone knows the same problem with solution in other post it would be helpful if you can post the link of that solution. Thank you
Solved! Go to Solution.
@Greg_Deckler @ray_aramburo Thanks for your contribution on this thread.
Hi @Pranjal06 ,
I created a sample pbix file(see the attachment), please check if that is what you want.
1. Create 'Sort Table' and 'Sort Table2'
2. Create measures as below
MIDYEAR-INITIAL =
VAR _year =
SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[PAYMENT YEAR] )
VAR _midyear =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( 'Table'[Value] ),
FILTER (
ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ),
'Table'[PAYMENT YEAR] = _year
&& 'Table'[Type] = "DOLLAR"
&& 'Table'[PAYMENT SUBMISSION CYCLE] = "MID-YEAR"
)
)
VAR _initial =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( 'Table'[Value] ),
FILTER (
ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ),
'Table'[PAYMENT YEAR] = _year
&& 'Table'[Type] = "DOLLAR"
&& 'Table'[PAYMENT SUBMISSION CYCLE] = "INITIAL"
)
)
RETURN
_midyear - _initial
FINAL-MIDYEAR =
VAR _year =
SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[PAYMENT YEAR] )
VAR _final =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( 'Table'[Value] ),
FILTER (
ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ),
'Table'[PAYMENT YEAR] = _year
&& 'Table'[Type] = "DOLLAR"
&& 'Table'[PAYMENT SUBMISSION CYCLE] = "FINAL"
)
)
RETURN
_final - [MIDYEAR-INITIAL]
3. Create a matrix with the below fields settings
Toggle off the option "Text wrap" for headers and values to control the field display
Best Regards
Hello @Anonymous,
Thank you for the solution.
What would be the logic of the calculation? Mid-Year - Initial ?
Proud to be a Super User!
I want diiference in dollar.
dollar(mid-year) - dollar(Initial)
dollar(final) - dollar(midyear)
@Pranjal06 So what are the expected results you are trying to achieve?
Sorry, having trouble following, can you post sample data as text and expected output?
Not really enough information to go on, please first check if your issue is a common issue listed here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/Before-You-Post-Read-This/ba-p/1116882
Also, please see this post regarding How to Get Your Question Answered Quickly: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/How-to-Get-Your-Question-Answered-Quickly/ba-p/38490
The most important parts are:
1. Sample data as text, use the table tool in the editing bar
2. Expected output from sample data
3. Explanation in words of how to get from 1. to 2.
I want this (Midyear-initial) field which is basically dollar(midyear)-dollar(initial) and same for Final-midyear.
PAYMENT SUBMISSION CYCLE | INITIAL | MID-YEAR | FINAL | |||||
PAYMENT YEAR | RAF | DOLLAR | RAF | DOLLAR | MIDYEAR-INITIAL | RAF | DOLLAR | FINAL-MIDYEAR |
