Hi Whitney

 

The year '9999' caused the issue.

Hi v-xulin-mstf , I have filtered the data in the transformation space to be 1/1/2020 - 31/12/2022. It is a company dataset and I cannot change the source.

This formula is still returning blank after filtering the dates - any ideas?

 

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,

     

    Maybe you can try your orginal measure again:

    Total WIP Forecast =
IF(ISBLANK([Total WIP Hours]),
CALCULATE([Total WIP Hours],SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('IDW DimDate'[Date])),
BLANK() )
