Post PartisanYear to date comparison
Hello, sorry i previously had help ont his but I'm not getting the result I am expecting.
could anyone help with example DAX.
i need to compare volumes of YTD april 1st to current date.
but I need to compare to the past 5 years of the same period.
e.g Today would show
01/04/2024 - 18/04/2024
01/04/2023 - 18/04/2023
01/04/2022 - 18/04/2022
Hi NewbieJono
Thanks for the reply from Greg_Deckler , please allow me to provide another insight:
I created a sample to get the difference in Value for 01/04/2024 - 19/04/2024 and the difference in Value for 01/04/2023 - 19/04/2023, hope this helps.
My sample:
Create two measures as follow
01/04/2024 - today = VAR _1 = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Value]), FILTER('Table', [Date] = EOMONTH(TODAY(), -1) + 1)) VAR _2 = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Value]), FILTER('Table', [Date] = TODAY())) RETURN _1 - _201/04/2023 - 19/04/2023 = VAR _11 = DATE(YEAR(TODAY()) - 1, MONTH(TODAY()), DAY(TODAY())) VAR _1 = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Value]), FILTER('Table', [Date] = _11)) VAR _2 = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Value]), FILTER('Table', [Date] = EOMONTH(_11, -1) + 1)) RETURN _1 - _2Result:
If this sample data is structurally different from the one you are using, please do not hesitate to mention it and I will modify it.
