Use measure as Filter

Hi,
I’m struggling with a simple DAX.
I created a measure to compare month and year between two dates.

Measure = CALCULATE(Count[Column1]), FILTER(Table, MONTH([Date1]) = MONTH([Date2]) && YEAR([Date1]) = YEAR([Date2])))

Now I want to create a calculated column and use it as filter
Column = IF([Measure] >1, “March”, “ Not March”)

I can’t seems to get it to work.

Can some1 help?

Much appreciate!!

@Stuznet add a column 

 

 New Column = 
IF( MONTH([Date1]) = MONTH([Date2]) && YEAR([Date1]) = YEAR([Date2]), "Matched", "Not Matched" )

Hi @parry2k,

I’ve tried that too. When I filtered to matched is giving me the one that is not matching too. When I filter to Not Matched is giving me blank

@Stuznet would you mind sharing sample data and also if you can mention which records are showing wrong, will help.

I think I got it.


This is what I did.

First, I create a measure

Measure  = COUNT([Product])

Second, I create a calculated column

Comparison = IF(MONTH([Received Date]) = MONTH([Date Submitted]) && YEAR([Received Date]) = YEAR([Date Submitted]),"Matched", "Not Matched")
