% Percentage of Quarter that has elapsed

[ovanslyke]

Hi! I am able to get the percentage of the year that has elapsed with this Measure calculation:

Year Frac = YEARFRAC(DATE(YEAR(Data[Today]),1,1),Data[Today])

For today the result is 45.6%

What I want to do now is show the % of the quarter that has elapsed. Our Q1  is Jan-Mar etc.

How would I do this?

Ideally I would also have a slicer for the quarters and I would expect the see Q1 at 100% complete, and Q2 as 90% complete etc.

Thanks for your help!

Hi @ovanslyke,

In that case, you need a date table which contains a date column. Based on this date column, you should generate a quarter number column.  Also, there should be a separate table containing a column that shows a list of Quarter number which will be added into a slicer later.

Date table =CALENDAR ( DATE ( 2016, 1, 1 ), DATE ( 2017, 12, 31 ) )

Quarter Number = 'Date table'[Date].[QuarterNo]

Then, please create measures like below:

Totday date = TODAY() 

Current Quarter = ROUNDUP(MONTH(TODAY())/3, 0)

Max date in selected quarter =
CALCULATE (
    MAX ( 'Date table'[Date] ),
    FILTER (
        'Date table',
        'Date table'[Date].[Year] = YEAR ( TODAY () )
            && 'Date table'[Quarter Number] = MAX ( Quarter[Quarter Number] )
    )
)

Count days for quarter =
CALCULATE (
    COUNT ( 'Date table'[Date] ),
    FILTER (
        'Date table',
        'Date table'[Date].[Year] = YEAR ( TODAY () )
            && 'Date table'[Quarter Number] = MAX ( Quarter[Quarter Number] )
    )
)

Date diff =
IF (
    [Totday date] >= [Max date in selected quarter],
    1,
    IF (
        [Current Quarter] < MAX ( Quarter[Quarter Number] ),
        0,
        1
            - (
                DATEDIFF ( [Totday date], [Max date in selected quarter], DAY )
                    / [Count days for quarter]
            )
    )
)
