Data Grouping

I've got an Excel spreadsheet with Dates and values associated with each dates,

I'm trying to make a graph that can compare the sum of the values from June 21st 2018 to June 21st 2019 to the sum of the values between June 21st 2019 to June 21st 2020.

 

Is it possible ?

 

Thank you

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

I'm not sure what your table structure looks like and what kind of output visual you want.

I'd like to suggest you to create some Meaures as below.

sum2019 = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[value]),FILTER('Table','Table'[date]>=DATE(2018,6,21)&&'Table'[date]<DATE(2019,6,21)))
sum2020 = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[value]),FILTER('Table','Table'[date]>=DATE(2019,6,21)&&'Table'[date]<DATE(2020,6,21)))

 Result would be shown as below.

A more dynamic (future-proof) solution would be adding a custom column on the table that contains your dates. Lets assume the name of that table is 'table' and the column that contains dates is 'date'. Then the DAX should look something like this:

 

=if(month('table'[date])<6,year(date),if(month('table'[date])=6 && day('table'[date])<21,year(date),year(date)+1))

 

Then you can use this column to filter your data. Should give the categorisation you desire.

Hi there

This would be possible, what you would need to do is to create a measure using the SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR

Or you would need to define a period in your date table for the values you want to compare?

If you have some sample data, that would assist people in giving you the solution.
