Previous INPUTED Date Count

I am trying to count the rows in a table that contain the previous INPUTED date (sometimes there are weekend dates, and sometimes there isn't).   A normal previous date function would work for Tues...

Hi aarikc17,

 

Please check below link to know the supported datasources.

Data sources supported by DirectQuery

 

BTW, below are limitation about directquery, I think you can take a look on it.

 

Limitations of DirectQuery

There are currently a few limitations to using DirectQuery:

  • All tables must come from a single database

  • If the Query Editor query is overly complex, an error will occur. To remedy the error you must either delete the problematic step in Query Editor, or Import the data instead of using DirectQuery. For multi-dimensional sources like SAP Business Warehouse, there is no Query Editor

  • Relationship filtering is limited to a single direction, rather than both directions (though it is possible to enable cross filtering in both directions for DirectQuery as a Preview feature). For multi-dimensional sources like SAP Business Warehouse, there are no relationships defined in the model

  • Time intelligence capabilities are not available in DirectQuery. For example, special treatment of date columns (year, quarter, month, day, so on) are not supported in DirectQuery mode.

  • By default, limitations are placed on DAX expressions allowed in measures; see the following paragraph (after this bulleted list) for more information

  • There is a 1 million row limit for returning data when using DirectQuery. This does not affect aggregations or calculations used to create the dataset returned using DirectQuery, only the rows returned. For example, you can aggregate 10 million rows with your query that runs on the data source, and accurately return the results of that aggregation to Power BI using DirectQuery as long as the data returned to Power BI is less than 1 million rows. If more than 1 million rows would be returned from DirectQuery, Power BI returns an error.

 

Use DirectQuery in Power BI Desktop

There has to be another way.

 

I created a measure

 

Previous Date = CALCULATE(MAX(Table1[SCH_STRT_DT]),FILTER(Table1,Table1[SCH_STRT_DT]<TODAY())

 

and tried to use this as a filter input. I am now getting a value, just the wrong value.

 

Starts = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(Table1),FILTER(ALL(Table1),Table1[SCH_STRT_DT]=[Previous Date] && Table1[SECT_NO]="04114" && Table1[SLS_MDL]<>"18C" && Table1SLS_MDL]<>"9C" && Table1[SLS_MDL]<>"12C"))

    HI aarikc17,

     

    I'd like to suggest you use a variable to store the pervous date.

     

    Starts = 
var Previous_Date = CALCULATE(MAX(Table1[SCH_STRT_DT]),FILTER(Table1,Table1[SCH_STRT_DT]<TODAY())
return
CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(Table1),FILTER(ALL(Table1),Table1[SCH_STRT_DT]=Previous_Date && Table1[SECT_NO]="04114" && Table1[SLS_MDL]<>"18C" && Table1SLS_MDL]<>"9C" && Table1[SLS_MDL]<>"12C"))

     

     

    Notice: if you drag a measure into a filter function as a parameter, sometimes it may get the wrong result.
