Previous day value - SSAS Tabular live connection

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I need to get previous day value and show it in column and then calculate difference between the values.

Below is my data set, which is an aggregated/summarized values from base table. I have many other dimension attributes on same table.

So main requirement is to pull previous day outstanding. First three fields are raw, last two are calcualted in below grid.

Power BI report connected to SSAS Tabular live connection.  I am restricted to use only measures and not calculated columns.

Formula's currently used :

Previous O/S =
CALCULATE(sum(Data[USDOutstanding]),ALLSELECTED(Data),PREVIOUSDAY(Data[Business_Date]))

PreviousDay_Blank = IF(ISBLANK(PREVIOUSDAY(Data[Business_Date])),1,0)

But since holiday/weekend days dates are not avilable on my data, previous day function is not working when it encounters missing date.

I have referred to this blog - https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Previous-day-value/m-p/610754#M291094

but when i use EARLIER and use Business_DATE in it, it says Parameter is not correct type (cant find name Business_DATE). So not really sure what i should be using.

Any help will be really appreciated.

Hi , @Anonymous 

You may check if the following formulas help:

Previous O/S measure = 
CALCULATE(
    SUM(Test[Outstanding]),
    FILTER(
        ALL(Test),
        Test[Business_Date]=SELECTEDVALUE(Test[Business_Date])-1
    )
)

flag = 
IF(
    ISBLANK([Previous O/S measure]),
    1,0
)

Result = SELECTEDVALUE(Test[Outstanding])-[Previous O/S measure]

Hi Eason @v-easonf-msft 

Thanks a lot for your reply.

I am using SSAS Live connection. So SELECTEDVALUE function is not working. Even EARLIER function is givnig errors.

I get "SELECTEDVALUE" is not a function.

I referred to this Post - https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/SELECTEDVALUE-not-a-valid-function/td-p/270639 which is an old post. 

Can you suggest any other alternate for my case?

Thanks

Manoj

Please refer to these related threads.

You can  take a try to use IF + HASONEVALUE combination  to replace the" selectvalue" function in DirectQuery mode.

IF（HASONEVALUE（Table [column]），VALUES（Table [column]））
