Hello,
I have a data table that uses pre-determined weeks to create invoice totals. For example, Week 1 of January is Jan 1.-Jan 6. Week 2 is Jan6.-Jan13th etc. I need to create a measure (using a live dataset) that says something like since week 1 is only 5 days, 5/31 = 16% of that month. It should look something like (note I don't currently have a field like "Dayrange"):
Invoice Weeks | Percent of Month | Dayrange | Invoice | ID |
1 | 16% | 5 | $123123.123 | 1 |
2 | 23% | 7 | $123.123 | 2 |
3 | 23% | 7 | $123123123123.123 | 3 |
I was trying to avoid that solution as I have no way of finding the start and end date for each week. Although week 1 runs from Jan 1. -Jan 5. that doesn't mean that we received invoices every day in that range. In my case I only have invoices on the 3rd of January making that a bad method to find the start/end date.
hi @Anonymous
For your case, you must define the dim date in advance, for example:
Week | Start Date | End Date |
Then use this to calculate the Dayrange.
