Hi everyone,
I am trying to create a DAX formula wherein I need to apply a filter and get total for specified columns in the raw data.
Here is what I am trying to accomplish:
Filter for Data A in Date 1 + Filter for Data B in Date 1 + Filter for Data A in Date 2 / (Total Data for Date 1 + Total Data for Date 2)
Wherein Date 1 is the reference date. Date 2 is the previous date. This needs to be done for all the dates in the “Req Date” column A.
Here is an example:
Reference date is “3/1/2017” in column A (Req Date)
(1)
Filter for column A (Req Date) for reference date of “3/1/2017”.
Then filter column I (Age) to get value = “1”.
Get the total count of loads in column J (Count of Load).
(2)
Filter for column A (Req Date) for reference date of “3/1/2017”.
Then filter column I (Age) to get value = “0”.
Get the total count of loads in column J (Count of Load).
(3)
Filter for column A (Req Date) for previous date of “2/28/2017”.
Then filter column I (Age) to get value = “0”.
Get the total count of loads in column J (Count of Load).
(4)
Filter for column A (Req Date) for reference date of “3/1/2017”.
Get the total count of loads in column J (Count of Load).
(5)
Filter for column A (Req Date) for previous date of “2/28/2017”.
Get the total count of loads in column J (Count of Load).
(6)
After getting all the results, the formula will look like this:
= (Result of Step 1 + Result of Step 2 + Result of Step 3) / (Result of Step 4 + Result of Step 5)
Below is the link of the raw data file for your reference. Please note that I am using Direct Query mode for the data.

Solved! Go to Solution.
Refer to the measure below.
Measure =
VAR d =
SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Calendar'[Date] )
RETURN
DIVIDE (
SUMX (
FILTER (
Table1,
( Table1[Req Date] = d
&& Table1[Age] IN { 0, 1 } )
|| ( Table1[Req Date]
= d - 1
&& Table1[Age] = 0 )
),
Table1[Count of Load]
),
SUMX (
FILTER ( Table1, Table1[Req Date] IN { d, d - 1 } ),
Table1[Count of Load]
)
)
You may start from the SELECTEDVALUE Function.

Thanks for the link but I am a beginner at writing DAX codes. Will you be able to help me in writing the code as per my specifications above? Appreciate your kind assistance.
Refer to the measure below.

&& Table1[Age] = 0 )
),
Table1[Count of Load]
),
SUMX (
FILTER ( Table1, Table1[Req Date] IN { d, d - 1 } ),
Table1[Count of Load]
)
)
