py calculation
1 TopicHow Do I keep Sales PY Calculation When a Filter is Applied?
Hi! I am an extreme novice and have scratched together some Dashboards in PBI with little to no knowledge of whether or not the way I am going abnout things is best practice. My issue is I have time series data formatted below that goes back 104 weeks by item I have a date table to roll up all of the various data sources I have so they have a consistent week ending date. (Although not neccesary for this dashboard as it only has one data source/retailer) And then I created a Date Filter table so I could use slicers to select 52/26/12 weeks time periods Using these calculations Since there is no column for Sales PY in my data I just want to make a command that finds the sales for the same item/brand etc for the same exact period/week last year and this is what I came up with after failing with SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR It appears to work when I don't have the date filter/slicer applied as shown below However there are a few issues... 1. Since my date table runs into the future it forward calculates the PY sales. I only want my data to go up to the most recent current year date 2. When I apply my date filter slicer to 52 weeks the PY sales dissappear as shown below. I fundamentaly can understand why they would as the filter is only showing data from the last 52 weeks and therefore I would assume it omits going back further to pull those PY dates. I just don't know how to go about fixing this Let me know if any other context is necessary. Thank you!1.5KViews0likes9Comments
