Store Measure values in a table

[Anonymous]

Hi Everyone,

We have a report that is refreshed twice everyday, excluding weekends. A measure calculates the total invoice value for the previous day, but is not stored in any data source. I`d like to store this value every day such that only the previous day value is updated after every refresh & other dates/ values are not changed, thereby be able to calculate & display the month to date values.

I used the below. The calendar table has dates from 01-01-2020 till 12-31-2030 & the below populates the values on all dates with the current value. I`m not sure how to work with this one.

MTD = SUMMARIZE('Calendar','Calendar'[Date], "MTD", CALCULATE([TotalInvoiceValue],FILTER('Calendar','Calendar'[Date] = TODAY()))

Thanks in advance

Regards,

Anil

examples

Last Day Non Continuous = CALCULATE([sales],filter(ALLSELECTED('Date'),'Date'[Date] =MAXX(FILTER(ALLSELECTED('Date'),'Date'[Date]<max('Date'[Date])),'Date'[Date])))
Day behind Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Day))
Diff COlumn = datediff(maxx(filter(Table,Table[Date]<earlier(Table[Date]) && Table[Numberf]= earlier(Table[Numberf]) ),Table[Date]) ,Table[Date],Day)

This Day = CALCULATE(sum('order'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Date]=max('Date'[Date])))
Last Day = CALCULATE(sum('order'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Date]=max('Date'[Date])-1))
Last Day = CALCULATE(sum('order'[Qty]), previousday('Date'[Date]))

To get the best of the time intelligence function. Make sure you have a date calendar and it has been marked as the date in model view. Also, join it with the date column of your fact/s. Refer :

Thanks @amitchandak . This is helpful. Apologies if it was not clear. I`ll try again.

The total invoice value is calculated everyday. Everyday its a new value & I want this to be stored in a table after the data refresh everyday like in the below table. Since these are not stored anywhere else, I was exploring a possibitlity to store in a table in the report. 

Date	TotalInvoiceValue
7/20/2020	100
7/21/2020	200
7/22/2020	150
7/23/2020	275
7/24/2020	125
7/25/2020	185
7/28/2020	195
7/29/2020	200

Once I`m able to store these, I`d use the MTD caluclations as you explained in the other posts. Hope this is clear now.

Regards,

Anil

Hi @Anonymous ,

You can't store measure value in a table. You may use calculated column instead.
