Hi All,
I want to create a calculation "Baseline" like the one below that contains the 1st value from [Pop Coverage] col and its repeated though the whole [Year] Col.
please help, I've spent so many hours 😞
Solved! Go to Solution.
@PatCreator Thanks for your query.
Here is my solution:
1. Create a calculate column for Date in the table using the below DAX:
Date =
VAR MonthNum = SWITCH(
TRUE(),
'DataTable'[Month] = "January",1,
'DataTable'[Month] = "February",2,
'DataTable'[Month] = "March",3,
'DataTable'[Month] = "April",4,
'DataTable'[Month] = "May",5,
'DataTable'[Month] = "June",6,
'DataTable'[Month] = "July",7,
'DataTable'[Month] = "August",8,
'DataTable'[Month] = "September",9,
'DataTable'[Month] = "October",10,
'DataTable'[Month] = "November",11,
'DataTable'[Month] = "December",12
)
VAR Result = DATE( 'DataTable'[Year], MonthNum , 1)
RETURN
Result
Table Snapshot:
2. Create a measure for Baseline:
Baseline =
VAR MinDate =
CALCULATE (
MIN ( 'DataTable'[Date] ),
ALL ( 'DataTable' ),
'DataTable'[Year] = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'DataTable'[Year] )
)
VAR Result =
CALCULATE (
MIN ( 'DataTable'[Pop Coverage] ),
ALL ( 'DataTable' ),
'DataTable'[Year] = SELECTEDVALUE ( 'DataTable'[Year] ),
'DataTable'[Date] = MinDate
)
RETURN
Result
Output Snapshot:
Hope this helps.
