hiding YOY difference for future dates

Hi,

 

I'm trying to do a calculation of YOY actual difference.  I am able to not calculate future months but the total is not correct.  I think I need to use a SUMX instead but not sure how to write the logic.  any help would be appriciated.

 

diff YOY Acctual = if(isblank([Pipeline]),"",([Pipeline]-[Pipeline ly]))
 

 

 

  • Hi,

    Does this measure work?

    Measure = SUMX(SUMMARIZE(Calendar,Calendar[Year],Calendar[Month],"ABCD",[diff YoY Acctual]),[ABCD])

    If it does not, then share the link from where i can download your PBI file.

    Hello Ashish,

     

    in the dummy file I created a custom column called month name in the calendar table, then used the measure you created 

     

    Month number = MONTH('calendar'[calendar])
    Measure = SUMX(SUMMARIZE('calendar','calendar'[Year],'calendar'[Month Name],"ABCD",[diff yoy amount]),[ABCD])
     
    but I could not get the total to calculate correctly.  also, if I use the Month name and Year in the calendar table separatly (w/o date hiearchy) i can not longer sort on the year.  did you make any other changes to the file?  I'd like to understand what changes were made so I can implment the code to actual data.

      Hello Ashish, 

       

      THanks for the reply, when I try to put the measure in, this is the error I get. I do have a calendar table.  how do you prefer I share the PBIX File?
