Hi , I am new in PowerBI, Can somebody please help me to create a DAX for the following Case statement,
Thanks,
Case when Year(SOLINE.[Deliv Date]) < Year(getdate()) then 'CurrentPeriod'
when Year(SOLINE.[Deliv Date]) = Year(getdate()) and month(SOLINE.[Deliv Date]) <= month(getdate()) then 'CurrentPeriod'
when Year(SOLINE.[Deliv Date]) = Year(getdate()) and month(SOLINE.[Deliv Date]) = month(getdate()) +1 then 'CurrentPeriod_1'
when Year(SOLINE.[Deliv Date]) = Year(getdate()) and month(SOLINE.[Deliv Date]) = month(getdate()) +2 then 'CurrentPeriod_2'
when Year(SOLINE.[Deliv Date]) = Year(getdate()) and month(SOLINE.[Deliv Date]) = month(getdate()) +3 then 'CurrentPeriod_3'
when Year(SOLINE.[Deliv Date]) = Year(getdate()) and month(SOLINE.[Deliv Date]) > month(getdate()) +3 then 'Forward' End SODeliveryPeriod
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Anonymous ,
Getdate() seems to be the function in SQL, we will use Now() to get current datetime in DAX.
In addition to lbendlin 's reply, you can try this code to create a calculated column.
Period =
SWITCH (
TRUE (),
YEAR ( SOLINE.[Deliv Date] ) < YEAR ( NOW () ), 'CurrentPeriod',
YEAR ( SOLINE.[Deliv Date] ) = YEAR ( NOW () )
&& MONTH ( SOLINE.[Deliv Date] ) <= MONTH ( NOW () ), 'CurrentPeriod',
YEAR ( SOLINE.[Deliv Date] ) = YEAR ( NOW () )
&& MONTH ( SOLINE.[Deliv Date] )
= MONTH ( NOW () ) + 1, 'CurrentPeriod_1',
YEAR ( SOLINE.[Deliv Date] ) = YEAR ( NOW () )
&& MONTH ( SOLINE.[Deliv Date] )
= MONTH ( NOW () ) + 2, 'CurrentPeriod_2',
YEAR ( SOLINE.[Deliv Date] ) = YEAR ( NOW () )
&& MONTH ( SOLINE.[Deliv Date] )
= MONTH ( NOW () ) + 3, 'CurrentPeriod_3',
YEAR ( SOLINE.[Deliv Date] ) = YEAR ( NOW () )
&& MONTH ( SOLINE.[Deliv Date] )
> MONTH ( NOW () ) + 3, 'Forward',
"SODeliveryPeriod "
)

The DAX equivalent is SWITCH(TRUE(),...,...)
