Show variance based on filter selection

Hello experts!

 

I have created some measures to display the variance between a week and the previous one to that however I would like to be able to have the variance showing accordingly to a slicer selection. If nothing is selected then show the difference with previous week as I already have it:

YearQuarterMonthDayWEEKFCSTPREV. WK FCSTFCST DIFF vs PREV. WK
2020Qtr 1January62020021,861,9801,864,549-2,569
2019Qtr 4December302020011,864,5491,904,024-39,475
2019Qtr 4December232019521,904,0241,895,5398,485
2019Qtr 4December162019511,895,5391,868,80226,737
2019Qtr 4December92019501,868,8021,855,45713,345
2019Qtr 4December22019491,855,457  

 

FCST = SUM(FCST[FCST QTY])

PREV. WK FCST = CALCULATE([FCST],DATEADD('CALENDAR'[Date],-7,DAY))

FCST DIFF vs PREV. WK = [FCST]-[PREV. WK FCST]
 
So, for example, if I pick week 49 and week 52 it should give me the following:
YearQuarterMonthDayWEEKFCSTPREV. WK FCSTFCST DIFF vs PREV. WK
2019Qtr 4December232019521,904,0241,855,45748,567
2019Qtr 4December22019491,855,457  

 

I hope my explanation is clear enough otherwise please, let me know and I will do my best to help you so you can help me 🙂

 

Regards,

Thanks!!

@Anonymous ,

 

Modify the measure using dax below:

PREV. WK FCST =
CALCULATE (
    [FCST],
    FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( Table ), DATEADD ( 'CALENDAR'[Date], -7, DAY ) )
)

Hello @v-yuta-msft 

 

For some reason it doesn't work. I am not sure whether I am doing it properly or not but just to be sure, to which 'table' should I refer the ALLSELECTED function? I tried with my calendar table and didn't work.

 

Thanks in advance!

This based on your slicer. If you build slicer based on date column in the fact table, then the expression should be ALLSELECTED(Fact_Table).

@v-yuta-msft , unfortunately it's not working. 

So, the measure is working but it's not doing what it's supposed to. 

 

Slicer is based on a column in my CALENDAR table which is, of course, connected to my fact table.

 

First 3 colums are my current measures, last one the one using your solution 

 
PREV. WK FCST =
CALCULATE ( [FCST], FILTER ( ALLSELECTED ( 'CALENDAR' ), DATEADD('CALENDAR'[Date], -7,DAY) ))
 
SPI WEEKFCSTPREV. WK FCSTPREV. WK FCST V2
2020031,868,5861,861,9805,628,067
2019521,904,0241,895,5395,628,067
2019491,855,4571,836,3935,628,067

 

So, I selected 3 different WKS as you can see in table above where the first 3 columns are my current measures and the last one the one you have proposed. What it's actually doing is a SUM of all the selected weeks FCST .

 

Instead, I would like it to show as follows:

SPI WEEKFCSTPREV. WK FCSTPREV. WK FCST V2
2020031,868,5861,861,9801,904,024
2019521,904,0241,895,5391,855,457
2019491,855,4571,836,393BLANK

 

Does it makes sense?

 

Thanks a lot for your time buddy.

 

Regards,
