Hi Whitney,

 

Try measure as:

Total WIP Forecast =
IF(ISBLANK([Total WIP Hours]),
CALCULATE([Total WIP Hours],DATEADD('IDW DimDate'[Date],-1,YEAR)),
BLANK() )

 

Best Regards,

Hi v-xulin-mstf still getting the same error: 'an invalid numeric representation of a date value was encountered'

 

The total WIP hours formula is still working:

Total WIP Hours = SUMX(FILTER('Powertrains Tracking Sheet',[Powertrain_WIP_Relative]="WIP"),'Powertrains Tracking Sheet'[Build Hours])
 
Powertrain_WIP_Relative =
VAR MaxDate = EOMONTH([CurrentMonth],0)
VAR MinDate = EOMONTH(MaxDate,-7) + 1
VAR IsWip =
IF(
MAX('IDW DimDate'[Date]) >= MAX('Powertrains Tracking Sheet'[Inspected])
&& MAX('IDW DimDate'[Date]) <= EOMONTH(MAX('Powertrains Tracking Sheet'[Planned Assembly Start]) ,-1),
"WIP"
)
return
IF(
MAX('IDW DimDate'[Date]) <= MaxDate && MAX('IDW DimDate'[Date]) >= MinDate,
IsWip
)

    Hi Whitney

     

    You can abandon the time-intelligent function and use the time function instead.

    Try measure as:

    Total WIP Forecast =
var maxdate=MAX('IDW DimDate'[Date])
var mindate=DATE(YEAR(maxdate)-1,MONTH(maxdate),DAY(maxdate))
return
IF(ISBLANK([Total WIP Hours]),
CALCULATE(
    [Total WIP Hours],
    FILTER(
        'IDW DimDate',
        'IDW DimDate'[Date]<maxdate && 'IDW DimDate'[Date]>mindate
    )
),
BLANK() 
)

      Hi v-xulin-mstf, this is returning "(Blank)" in card view or nothing in a table. My DimDate table date range from 1/1/1900 -> 31/12/9999 if that makes a difference?

       

      Total WIP Forecast =
      var maxdate = MAX('IDW DimDate'[Date])
      var mindate = DATE(YEAR(maxdate)-1,MONTH(maxdate),DAY(maxdate))
      return
      IF(
      ISBLANK([Total WIP Hours]),
      CALCULATE( [Total WIP Hours], FILTER( 'IDW DimDate', 'IDW DimDate'[Date]<maxdate && 'IDW DimDate'[Date]>mindate ) ),
      BLANK()
      )

        Hi Whitney

         

        The year '9999' caused the issue.
