Same day last week
Hi Folks,
I am using the below dax for calculating Sales for Same day last week:
| Location | Department | CALENDAR_DATE_FMTD | Current Date | M.Sameday_LW Sales |
| 101 | 12 | 30/09/2019 0:00 | 10 | 1 |
| 101 | 12 | 1/10/2019 0:00 | 12 | 2 |
| 101 | 12 | 2/10/2019 0:00 | 13 | 3 |
| 101 | 12 | 3/10/2019 0:00 | 14 | 4 |
| 101 | 12 | 4/10/2019 0:00 | 15 | 5 |
| 101 | 12 | 5/10/2019 0:00 | 16 | 6 |
| 101 | 12 | 6/10/2019 0:00 | 17 | 7 |
| 101 | 12 | 7/10/2019 0:00 | 18 | 10 |
| 101 | 12 | 8/10/2019 0:00 | 19 | 12 |
| 101 | 12 | 9/10/2019 0:00 | 20 | 13 |
| 101 | 12 | 10/10/2019 0:00 | 21 | 14 |
| 101 | 12 | 11/10/2019 0:00 | 22 | 15 |
| 101 | 12 | 12/10/2019 0:00 | 23 | 16 |
| 101 | 12 | 13/10/2019 0:00 | 24 | 17 |
| Total | 244 | 125 |
But Fails when used in the below format(i.e. if we eliminate the date factor) its just shows the sum of the entire date selection instead of showing same day last week value which here should be $17:
| Location | Department | Current Date | M.Sameday_LW Sales |
| 101 | 12 | 24 | 125 |
| Location | Department | Current Date | M.Sameday_LW Sales |
| 101 | 12 | 24 | 17 |

Basically 7 days behind measure will keep on running past and give you data unless you filter a date . when you select
a date in the calendar then it will stop
M.Sameday_LW Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(vTransaction[EX_GST_AMT]),
DATEADD('Dim Date'[CALENDAR_DATE_FMTD],-7,DAY))This set should work better
This Day = CALCULATE(sum(vTransaction[EX_GST_AMT]), FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Date]=max('Date'[Date])))
M.Sameday_LW Sales = CALCULATE(sum(vTransaction[EX_GST_AMT]), FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Date]=max('Date'[Date])-7))but this will also depend on a max date to take max date from the table if needed
This Day = CALCULATE(sum(vTransaction[EX_GST_AMT]), FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Date]=max('vTransaction'[Date])))
M.Sameday_LW Sales = CALCULATE(sum(vTransaction[EX_GST_AMT]), FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Date]=max('vTransaction'[Date])-7))

HI Anonymous
Probably, you are using the DAX mentioned by you as a measure.
Create a column using the same DAX and your issue will be resolved.
