Using comparison operators with 'Date' data type

Hi.

 

I have created two measures for a common purpose ie i want to calculate the conversions before July 2018 from one table A and from July 2018 from another table B. When I want to split it between different months, it creates an aggregate rather than just for the particular month.

 

The formula for table A:- conversions_old = CALCULATE(SUM(tableA[conversions]), "MONTH('date'[date_key])<7, YEAR('date'[date_key])<=2018)

 

The formula for table B:- conversions_new = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(tableB[conversions]), all_txns[platform]="app", all_txns[order_id]<282349, MONTH('date'[date_key])>6, YEAR('date'[date_key])>=2018)

 

The combined measure is conversions_all = conversions_new + conversions_old.

 

So when I split the same by year_month, it gives an aggregated value rather than splitting it by month.

 

Kindly help me resolve this issue.

Hi @rajulshah

 

I was able to filter according to the dates by using the FILTER() function.

 

The formulas are- 

 

conversions app new = CALCULATE(SUM(tableA[conversions]), FILTER('date', FORMAT('date'[date_key], "yyyy-mm") > "2018-06"))

 

conversions app new = CALCULATE(SUM(tableB[conversions]), FILTER('date', FORMAT('date'[date_key], "yyyy-mm") < "2018-07"))

 

 

Thank you for your assisstance.
