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
Solved! Go to Solution.
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 - _2
01/04/2023 - 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 - _2
Result:
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.
