    Hi dennisdepoorter,

     

    That's impossible. I have added some comments in the snapshot below. It's a COMMA in the formula while it's a DOT in the error message. 

    1. Please upgrade the Desktop to the latest version.

    2. Try this formula.

    Quantity L30D = 
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( 'Order Product'[Quantity] ),
    DATESBETWEEN (
        'Order'[ActivatedDate].[Date],
        (MIN ( 'Order'[ActivatedDate] ) - 30),
        MIN ( 'Order'[ActivatedDate] )
    )
)

    Relative_date_filter_true_DAX3

     

    Best Regards,
    Dale

Hi Dennis,

 

If this formula can give you the desired result, you can amend it like below. It's a grammar error.

 

Quantity L30D =
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( 'Order Product'[Quantity] ),
    DATESBETWEEN (
        'Order'[ActivatedDate],
        MIN ( 'Order'[ActivatedDate] ) - 30,
        MIN ( 'Order'[ActivatedDate] )
    )
)

 

Best Regards,
Dale

v-jiascu-msftthe code you provide isn't correct..

 

.

 

The error messages is (translated from dutch): The Syntax for MIN isn't correct. DAX(CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Order Product'[Quantity] ), DATESBETWEEN ( 'Order'[ActivatedDate], MIN ( 'Order'[ActivatedDate] ) - 30. MIN ( 'Order'[ActivatedDate] ) )))).

 

The problem is in the ")" it should be:

 

Quantity L30D = 
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( 'Order Product'[Quantity] ),
    DATESBETWEEN (
        'Order'[ActivatedDate],
        MIN ( 'Order'[ActivatedDate]  - 30),
        MIN ( 'Order'[ActivatedDate] )
    )
)

But then the error: "The MIN function only accepts a column reference as an argument"

    Hi dennisdepoorter,

     

    Is [ActiveatedDate] a column or a measure? I made a few adjustments. It worked in my test.

    Relative_date_filter_true_DAX

      ActivatedDate is a column with dates on when the order has been activated.

      Thanks for the feedback all-ready, but don't work for columns that way (I think)

        Hi dennisdepoorter,

         

        Can you share the file? It works as both a calculated column and a measure in my side.

        Please mask the sensitive parts.
