YTD as dynamic value using DAX
HI,
I am looking to make the YTD measure to be dynamic based on a input parameter.
This input parameter then will be used a slicer in power pivot.
For ex:
To calculate YTD, we use :
IsYTD = IF( YEAR(Calendar[DateSK]) = YEAR(TODAY()) && Calendar[DateSK]<TODAY(),1,0)
But above TODAY() is hardcoded and I am trying to make it dynamic so that YTD is calculateed based on users preference
Looking for more a function like feature in M.
something like :
VAR pickdate = date(2018,2,1) -- pickdate to be a slicer
IsYTD = IF( YEAR(Calendar[DateSK]) = YEAR(pickdate) && Calendar[DateSK]<pickdate,1,0)
I tried to create a new datetable and reference it in above query by joining the relationship with Calendar table but it doesnt seem to calculate YTD dynamically.
Hello,
By using a WhatIf parameter, you may let the users choose their parameters dynamically.
I created a simple table :
I then created a WhatIf parameter :
LastDays = GENERATESERIES(0; 50; 1)
Inside the data table, I added 3 new measures :
Date Min = DATE(YEAR(TODAY()-LastDays[Last DAys Val]);1;1)
Date Max = TODAY()-LastDays[Last DAys Val]
Sales YTD =
SUMX(
FILTER(Data;AND(Data[Date]<[Date Max];Data[Date]>= [Date Min]));
Data[Units])When users change the value of LastDays on a slicer, it will dynamically change the scope :
