I want to create column or Measure with H1'20 which will add values of year 2020 from jan to jun and , H2'20 from jul to dec and similarly for 2021.
Then i want to compare H1'20 with H1'21. Please suggest best way to do it.
I am creating a measure but it is adding sum of whole column rather then first 6 and then next 6 as per year.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Anya_T ,
Create a column with below code:-
H's =
var month_num = Month(DATEVALUE('Table (6)'[Year]&"/"&'Table (6)'[Month ]&"/"&"1"))
return if(month_num <= 6,"H1","H2")
Now create a measure like this:-
Comparision =
VAR H1_2020 =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( 'Table (6)'[Values] ),
'Table (6)'[Year] = 2020,
'Table (6)'[H's] = "H1"
)
VAR H1_2021 =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( 'Table (6)'[Values] ),
'Table (6)'[Year] = 2021,
'Table (6)'[H's] = "H1"
)
RETURN
H1_2021 - H1_2020

@Anya_T , Create a date table. If you do not have date in your table, create with help from month year.
Add these column in date table
Start Year = STARTOFYEAR('Date'[Date],"12/31")
Half = Half = if(datediff([start year],[Date],month)<6,1,2)
Half Year = [Start Year]*100 + [Half]
Half Year Rank = RANKX(all('Date'),'Date'[Half Year Start],,ASC,Dense)
Try measure like these
This Half Year = CALCULATE(sum('Table'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Half Year Rank]=max('Date'[Half Year Rank])))
Last Half Year = CALCULATE(sum('Table'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Half Year Rank]=max('Date'[Half Year Rank])-1))
3rd Last Half Year = CALCULATE(sum('Table'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Half Year Rank]=max('Date'[Half Year Rank])-3))
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 :radacad sqlbi My Video Series Appreciate your Kudos.
