Working with Measures

Hey PowerBI Community

 

I'm trying to recreate a function using measures on powerBI.

I managed to do it previously thanks to the help of Pattem but it was on calculated columns

https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Excel-Function-To-Dax-Help/m-p/634110

 

I have a similar issue now but am working with measures on PowerBI. 

 

 

Created Count per day = CALCULATE(COUNT(JiraDB[Issue no.]),JiraDB[CREATED])
Resolved Count per day = CALCULATE(COUNT('JiraDB (Resolved Date)'[Issue no.]),'JiraDB (Resolved Date)'[RESOLUTIONDATE])
Total Issues Test 2 = [Created Count per day]-[Resolved Count per day]

 

I want to create a new measure called open production issues that will sum the current open issues (Total Issues Test 2) with the previous day open issues, to get the number of open production issues that day.

 

 

With calculated Columns I was able to use Earlier() to reference the previous value but I can't now when using measure.

Open Production Issue Test 2 = CALCULATE(SUMX(JiraDB,[Total Issues Test 2]), FILTER(JiraDB,[Total Issues Test 2]<=EARLIER[Total Issues Test 2])

What I have now but receving an error for using Earlier() on measure. 

 

Any help will be appreciated!

 

Thank you so much!!
