Use Dax to replicate Legend

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

I'm trying to recreate the following chart:

It is a running total, but in this case, I'm using a single measure but adding the year column as a legend. For a new report, I'm working on I need to recreate it using Dax; one measure for 2020 and the other 2019. Whenever I try it to create using the same measure just adding an additional filter the result is the following.

The flat line is 2019 and instead of showing a running total shows just total for the year. I'm using the following Dax.

Running_total_2019 = CALCULATE(
    [Total_2019],
    FILTER( ALLSELECTED( 'Calendar'),
    'Calendar'[Date] <= 'Calendar'[Date]
    )
)

 Total_2019 is a sum of a calculates table to filter sales for the year and a sales stage. I've tried modifying it to use DATESYTD and TOTALYTD but didn't work.

Thanks for the help.

@marsa , You can use calendar intelligence and shooting time

///// Time Intelligence 
YTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD('Date'[Date],"12/31"))
Last YTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year),"12/31"))
This year Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD(ENDOFYEAR('Date'[Date]),"12/31"))
Last year Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD(ENDOFYEAR(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year)),"12/31"))
Last to last YTD Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),DATESYTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-2,Year),"12/31"))
Year behind Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Year))
//Only year vs Year, not a level below

///// Without using Time Intelligence 
This Year = CALCULATE(sum('order'[Qty]),filter(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Year]=max('Date'[Year])))
Last Year = CALCULATE(sum('order'[Qty]),filter(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Year]=max('Date'[Year])-1))

Year Rank = RANKX(all('Date'),'Date'[Year Start date],,ASC,Dense)	
This Year = CALCULATE(sum('order'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Year Rank]=max('Date'[Year Rank])))
Last Year = CALCULATE(sum('order'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Year Rank]=max('Date'[Year Rank])-1))

Day of Year  =datediff([Year Start date] , [Date],Day) +1

YTD= CALCULATE(sum('order'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Year Rank]=max('Date'[Year Rank]) && 'Date'[Day of Year]  <= Max('Date'[Day of Year]) ))
LYTD = CALCULATE(sum('order'[Qty]), FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Year Rank]=max('Date'[Year Rank])-1 && 'Date'[Day of Year]  <= Max('Date'[Day of Year])))

To get the best out of the time intelligence function. Make sure that you have a date calendar and that it has been marked as the date in the model view. Also, join her with the date column of your events. Recommended:

We appreciate your congratulations.

@Anonymous - So typically the way you handle previous year in a time "intelligence" situation is by using something like PREVIOUSYEAR. So get your 2020 calculation correct and then wrap it in a CALCULATE( ..., PREVIOUSYEAR(...))

But, always tricky working with time intelligence, sample data would be great as well as your current measure formulas (like Total_2019).

Otherwise, these might assist:
