Hi  N-msft ,

I created some data:

Are you considering using measure directly to display the data you want:

Measure =
var _day=TODAY()
var _lastday=TODAY()-2
return
IF(
    MAX('Table'[Date]) >= _lastday &&MAX('Table'[Date])<=_day,
    SUMX(
        'Table',[Value]),BLANK())

Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data. We can better understand the problem and help you.

 

Best Regards,

Thanks Anonymous 

 

I am using multiple measures i.e. Total Sales, Total Profits, etc. on Rows of the matrix along with a calculation group with the following calculation items :

  • TodaysValue
  • YesterdaysValue
  • DayBeforeYesterdayvalue
  • MTD for Curr Month

I am stuck at naming these calculation Items dynamically like -

  • TodaysValue should be Today's date. 
  • YesterdaysValue should be yesterday's date
  • DayBeforeYesterdayvalue should be day before yesterday's date
  • MTD for Curr Month should be "Current Month's Name".

Hope I am able to explain it now..
