Question regarding MAX function

[bsas]

Hi Community,

I have question reqarding function MAX. I have 2 dates in my report: close date and billing date. Close date is column with dates, billing date I calculate with formula below:

IF(AND(MONTH('Acc_Opp'[closedate]+21)=1,
YEAR('Acc_Opp'[closedate]+21)=2018),DATE(2017,12,1), 
DATE(2017,MONTH('Acc_Opp'[closedate]+21),1)))

But when I'm trying to use this calculation in measure in fuction MAX I receive message that MAX can only use a column as value. My question is how I can get around this limitation or maybe there is other solution? (I've tried, LastDate is not working in this case).

I can't create billing date as a calculated column because I need to use close date as slicer in 2 different visual plots and I have other table were close date is used for relationship.

My Measure

0test_b.Won_cumulative_billing = CALCULATE(SUM(Acc_Opp[new_runrate]),
                            FILTER(FILTER(ALLSELECTED(Acc_Opp),Acc_Opp[Opp-ty Status] = "1.Won"), 
                             (IF(AND(MONTH('Acc_Opp'[closedate]+21)=1,YEAR('Acc_Opp'[closedate]+21)=2018),DATE(2017,12,1),
                              DATE(2017,MONTH('Acc_Opp'[closedate]+21),1))) <= MAX(IF(AND(MONTH('Acc_Opp'[closedate]+21)=1,
                               YEAR('Acc_Opp'[closedate]+21)=2018),DATE(2017,12,1),DATE(2017,MONTH('Acc_Opp'[closedate]+21),1)))))

Hi @bsas,

Try to add billing date as a calculated column. It won't affect other columns. You can post your issue here if you encounter it.

0test_b.Won_cumulative_billing = 
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( Acc_Opp[new_runrate] ),
    FILTER (
        FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( Acc_Opp ), Acc_Opp[Opp-ty Status] = "1.Won" ),
        (
            IF (
                AND (
                    MONTH ( 'Acc_Opp'[closedate] + 21 )
                        = 1,
                    YEAR ( 'Acc_Opp'[closedate] + 21 )
                        = 2018
                ),
                DATE ( 2017, 12, 1 ),
                DATE ( 2017, MONTH ( 'Acc_Opp'[closedate] + 21 ), 1 )
            )
        )
            <= MAX (
                [Billing Date]
            )
    )
)

Best Regards!

Thank you @v-jiascu-msft,

Already done as calculated column, but there is problem I need to use 2 different dates in 2 plots, one is close date, second is billing date. And if I use billing date instead of close date other data (tables) which are linked by date to close date ane not working correctly.

I think about dublicating data (split into 2 tables) and use with responsible plot.

Hi @bsas,

Did you use two slicers? They interact with each other. If so, you can try this function as the picture shows.

Best Regards!

Hi @v-jiascu-msft,

I use one slicer, but problem is not in slicer but in column which I use for visual. Close date <> Billing date, so relationships from different table can't be linked to close date and billing date as they are in 1 table. Thats why I'm trying not to create billing date as calculate table but somehow transfrom close date to billing date in measures to use in calculations.

Hi @bsas,

Glad you solved it. Just a discussion, if the scenario is one table will connect to two columns of another table, we can use function USERELATIONSHIP. 

Best Regards!

Hello, Try using a new column rather than a new measure.
