Trying to use measures to calculate rates based on date

[ElieK]

Hello,

The organisation I work at recently changed the rates based on the team doing the work, I've been trying to figure out how to use a measure to calculate the revenue based on the new rate.

The old rates before 01-Aug-2020

Team A	150
Team B	75
Team C	80

The new Rates after 01-Aug-2020

Team A	170
Team B	85
Team C	100

The measure I am using is:

Team A Revenue = CALCULATE(TeamTracker[Volume]*150,TeamTracker[Team Name]="Team A")

I tried enclossing the Calculate function in an IF Statement but could not figure out how to look at the Date column in the 'TeamTracker' table.

I tried creating a new Measure for the Team A Rate and using

Team A Rate = IF (Today() < Date(2020,08,01) , 150, 170)

But that just ends up taking the new value, and I cant figure out how to replace the Today() with a date value from either my TeamTracker table or Rolling Calendar table

Thanks

Hi @ElieK 

I build three table to have a test.

Old Rate Table:

New Rate Table:

TeamTracker Table:

Then I build a measure to achieve your goal.

Revenue = 
VAR _VOLUME =
    SUM ( TeamTracker[Volume] )
VAR _OLDRATE =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Old Rates'[Rate] ),
        FILTER ( 'Old Rates', 'Old Rates'[Team] = MAX ( TeamTracker[Team] ) )
    )
VAR _NEWRATE =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'New Rates'[Rate] ),
        FILTER ( 'New Rates', 'New Rates'[Team] = MAX ( TeamTracker[Team] ) )
    )
RETURN
    IF (
        MAX ( TeamTracker[Date] ) < DATE ( 2020, 08, 01 ),
        _VOLUME * _OLDRATE,
        _VOLUME * _NEWRATE
    )

@ElieK , share the data with that you want to use the rate.

New column = Switch( True(),

[Date] <=date(2018,01,01) && [Team] ="A" , [Volume]*150,

[Date] > date(2018,01,01) && [Team] ="A" , [Volume]*170,

/// Add other codition

Thanks! Is using a Calculated column the best way of doing this?
