Replicate last values

 

Hi there,

 

Does anyone know how to replicate the last value for a non-existing rows ?

For example:

 

I have values for the day 1/1/2018 / 1/2/2018 / 1/4/2018...

In this case I don't have value for 1/3/2018, how can I replicate the last value (1/2/2018) if I don't have this day in my table ?

 

*I'm using a date dimension in this visual. 

 

Thank you,

 

Ricardo

Typically you do that in Power Query with something like "Fill".

DAX is easy, CALCULATE makes DAX hard...

@Hi @Greg_Deckler,

 

Thank for your answer,

 

However the dataset doesn't have this row. just my date table.

 

I should use this function "Fill" when the value is blank, right ?

 

Thank you,

Hi @ricardocamargos

 

One approach might be to create a Calculated Table with Missing Dates and Values

 

From the Modelling Tab>>>NEW TABLE

 

New Table =
ADDCOLUMNS (
    GENERATESERIES ( MIN ( TableName[Date] ), MAX ( TableName[Date] ) ),
    "Values",
    VAR Maxdate =
        CALCULATE (
            MAX ( TableName[Date] ),
            FILTER ( TableName, TableName[Date] <= EARLIER ( [Value] ) )
        )
    RETURN
        CALCULATE ( SUM ( TableName[Value] ), TableName[Date] = Maxdate )
)

Hi @Zubair_Muhammad,

 

It works.

 

Thank you,

 

Ricardo
