PowerBI Date Manipulation
- 4 years ago
Hi, sclement
There is a NOW() function, that returns the current day and time.
If it's a measure, the time is refreshed upon refreshing the page (when published).
If it's a calculated column, the time is refreshed only upon refreshing the whole report.
I designed a measure and calculated column that would fit your needs:
Measure:NowMeasure = var currentDay = TODAY() var previousDay_ = currentDay-1 var CurrentDayFromTable = MAXX(FILTER(DatetimeAmount, DatetimeAmount[Date] = currentDay), DatetimeAmount[Date]) var PreviousDayFromTable = MAXX(FILTER(DatetimeAmount, DatetimeAmount[Date] = previousDay_), DatetimeAmount[Date]) var check = IF(DATEVALUE(NOW()) = currentDay && HOUR(NOW()) <= 16 && MINUTE(NOW())<=59, PreviousDayFromTable, CurrentDayFromTable) return checkColumn:
Column = var CurrentRowDate = DatetimeAmount[Date] return IF([NowMeasure]=CurrentRowDate, 1, 0)It works as you described it:
The only drawback is that you would have to refresh your repot at 5 PM and then 12AM the next day.
So far I couldn'T come up with a better solution.
EDIT:
You also have to then put a filter to your visualization and display only rows that equal 1. - 4 years ago
Hi, sclement
According to your description, I think you can create a meaure and use it in visual filter pane to filter data.
Like this:
Measure 2 = IF ( DATEVALUE ( NOW () ) = TODAY () && HOUR ( NOW () ) <= 16 && MINUTE ( NOW () ) <= 59, IF ( SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Date]) = TODAY () ||SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Date]) = TODAY () - 1, 1 ), IF ( SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Date]) = TODAY (), 1 ) )Did I answer your question? Please mark my reply as solution. Thank you very much.
If not, please feel free to ask me.

Hi, sclement
It's definitely possible, I just wonder about the result, could you please share a snippet of your desired output?
Should it be two measures?
One that shows today's till 5PM and second about yesterday's (whole day).
Your initial request confuses me a bit. Thank you
