This value at this exact hour, but 7 days before

Hi everyone! 🙂

 

I've run into a problem :s

 

So, I have a line chart, with the last 24 hours as x axis, and a count as values:

I want the same count, at the same hour, but 7 days before this hour.

 

For example,

 

At 10 AM in the graph, you see that the ligh blue value was around 60. What I need is: seven days before now (today, 10 AM), at 10 AM what was the count?

 

I'm sorry, this feels really confusing and I can't seem to find the answer.

 

Thank you in advance 🙂

In case you have date calendar configured. You can use 7 day before measure

7 days behind Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),dateadd('Date'[Date],-7,DAY))

 

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.
