QTD

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out how to calculate quarterly sales when I don't have a calendar year-end. I want the user to be able to select month and year they want then press a button for Qtr to get quarterly sales. I know how to get the button selector to choose quarterly sales but not how to calculate quarterly based on year/month selected. How would I do this?Capture.JPG

Is qtr is standard calendar . means Apr-Jun, Jul-Sep etc. Better you can use Date calendar and time intelligence

QTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESQTD(('Date'[Date])))

Last QTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESQTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,QUARTER)))
Last to last QTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESQTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-2,QUARTER)))
Next QTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESQTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],1,QUARTER)))

Last year same QTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESQTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year)))

trailing QTR = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,QUARTER))

 

If not, Have calendar table when you have Qtr and create a rank on qtr and use the rank . Refer this week example of Using rank

Also, vote for Idea of non-standard Qtr
