Past 30 days calculation

[Anonymous]

Hello, 

I am trying to calculate hours worked in the past 30 days. The formula was working and pulling the correct numbers until a new month started. Now, it won't pull in any values. Here is the equation I am using: 

Hours Worked Past 30 days =

Calculate( sum('MS TimeCard'[Hours]), DATESINPERIOD('MS TimeCard'[Work Date], TODAY(), -30, DAY))

I am needing this to always give me a rolling 30 days of hours worked, even when we change to a new month. Has anyone else experienced this or have any suggestions? 

Thank you!

Is there a way to do this but from a specific/ fixed date as apposed to 'Today'?

Hi @Anonymous,

If you share some dummy data to test, it will help to test and modify your formula:

In addition, you can also take a look at Greg_Deckler's blog of use date function to manually define the calculation range instead of time intelligence functions:

You should be able to do this like the following:

Hours Worked Past 30 days =
  SUMX(FILTER('MS TimeCard',[Work Date] <= TODAY() & [Work Date] >= TODAY() - 30),'MS TimeCard'[Hours])
