Hi DAX Experts around the world,
I hope you can help me with below problem. In short:
there are two fact tables: Table1 and Table2 , not connected between each other and cannot be appended.
they have both relation to Calendar table
I need to create a measure which will return some part from Table1 and a part form Table2, as described on the picture.
When a Nov-21 is selected on the slicer, measure should return Actuals for first 10 months of the year with 100 each month (from Table1) and remaining 2 months with Forecast values from with 200 each month (from Table2).
Is it possible at all as I am out of ideas ?
Thank you in advance.

You can create a copy of the calendar table(Calender (2)), which can be used to create a slicer.
With the help of this table, you can create a measure to calculate the value based on selected date like this:
Amount Measure =
VAR _selected_date = MAX('Calender (2)'[Date])
return SUMX(SUMMARIZE(Calender,Calender[Date]),IF('Calender'[Date]<_selected_date,SUMX(FILTER(Table1,Table1[Version]="Actual"),[Amount]),SUM(Table2[Amount])))

I have a table (we'll just call it MyTable) in PowerBI that includes a Date column. I have created a DateDimension table using CALENDARAUTO() with columns for the Date, Month#, MonthName, etc and created the relationship between that Date and the Date in MyTable.
I want to calculate the average year based on the records in MyTable. For example, if I have records with 1/1/2005, 1/1/2014, and 1/1/2015, the average year should be 2011.
How would I go about doing that? I've tried doing a measure of AVERAGE(DateDimension[Year]) and adding that to a Card visual, but it just shows 2.01K. If I do FORMAT(AVERAGE(DateDimension[Year]), "####"), the average is completely wrong.
Since you already have this DateDimension table, use
Average =
AVERAGEX(
MyTable,
RELATED(DateDimension[Year])
)
You can control the formatting by clicking on the measure (Average) and then using the Measure tools pane:
Set it to Whole number and no thousands operator.
I've got 3 tables. First is a date table that only has dates. Second is my actual values and third is my projected. Actuals and Projected are both related to the date table (1 to many single direction)
Trying to plot actual vs projected on a line graph, using the dates column from the dates table and a measure from each of the other two. This is my measure for actual values: count = calculate(counta(actual[product]))+0. The issue is then the graph shows 0s for all future dates where I only want my projected line to show up. Is there a different measure I can use to not show the 0 for the future date and be blank instead?
Try this
count = calculate(counta(actual[product]),
'Date'[Date] <= max(Date[Date)
)
Please note that Date: your calendar table,
[Date ] is column in side the Date table.
Please let me know if your issue has been resolved.
I am trying to find the Previous year sales for the same week in Power BI.I dont have any date column.
I have two table one is FACT Indicators table as shown below:
and one sales table( Fact Sales table):
I want to create one calculated field namely(Sales Previous Year) to show the previous year sales for the same week .
In 'Fact Indicators' table 'PY 52 week flag' filed shows if this week id is Previous year or not.
Week column shows the week number from 1 to 52 weeks .
Week Id shows the unique number per Market key.
'Market_Week Id Key' is the common joining key between FACT Indicators table and Fact Sales table
Please help me to find the formula for calculated field.I dont have the date field in my raw data
Every time you deal with anything related to dates, you will need to add what we call a date dimension. It will save you tons of headaches. Once you have it in you will be able to hook it into the creation of the calculated filed.
you can google power bi or ssas date dimension and find tons of information on it.
Yeah! I guess SQL Technical team can be a tough crowd.... Well! In this case, I would recommend bringing the Year into FactSales Table from Fact Indicator . You have two options here with physical relationship set up between Market Week Id Key in both tables you can build a calc column with
Year = CALCULATE(VALUES(FactIndicators[Year]))
or without relationship use LOOKUPVALUE on WeekId
Year = LOOKUPVALUE(FactIndicators[Year], FactIndicators[WeekId], FactSales[WeekId])
Sales Last Year calc colum :
SalesLastYear =
CALCULATE (
SUM(FactSales[SalesThisYear] ),
TOPN(1,
FILTER(
FactSales,
FactSales[Year] < EARLIER(FactSales[Year])
&& FactSales[Key] < EARLIER(FactSales[Key])
)
)
)
Hopefully a quick explanation of what I am hoping to accomplish followed by the approach we've been working on for over a year.
Desired Result
I have a table of SCD values with two columns, SCD_Valid_From and SCD_Valid_To. Is there a way to join a date table in my model (or simply use a slicer without a join) in order to be able to choose a specific date that is in between the two SCD columns and have that row of data returned?
Original Table
ID | SCD_Valid_From | SCR_Valid_To | Cost
1 2020-08-01 2020-08-03 5.00
Slicer date chosen is 2020-08-02. I would like this ID=1 record to be returned.
What We've Attempted So Far
We had a consultant come in and help us get Power BI launched last year. His solution was to create an expansion table that would contain a row for every ID/Date combination.
Expanded Original Table
ID | SCD_Valid_Date | Cost
1 2020-08-01 5.00
1 2020-08-02 5.00
1 2020-08-03 5.00
This was happening originally on the Power BI side, and we would use incremental refresh to control how much of this table was getting pushed each day. Long story short, this was extremely inefficient and made the refresh too slow to be effective - for 5 years' worth of data, we would need over 2000 rows per ID just to be able to select a dimensional record.
Is there a way to use a slicer where Power BI can select the records where that selected date falls between dates in two columns of a table?
Let me explain a workaround and I hope this will help you to solve your issue. Let me guess you have below 2 tables-
"Dates" table with column "Date" from where you are generating the date slicer.
"your_main_table" with with column "scd_valid_from" and "scd_valid_to".
Step-1: If you do not have relation between table "Dates" and "your_main_table", this is fine as other wise you have to create a new table like "Dates2". For this work around, you can not have relation between those tables.
In case you have already relation established between those tables, create a new custom table with this below code-
Dates2 =
SELECTCOLUMNS(
Dates,
"Date", Dates[Date]
)
From here, I will consider "Dates2" as source of your Date slicer. But if you have "Date" table with no relation with table "your_main_table", just consider "Dates" in place of "Dates2" in below measures creation. Now, Create these following 4 measures in your table "your_main_table"
1.
date_from_current_row = max(join_using_date_range[SCD_Valid_From])
2.
date_to_current_row = max(join_using_date_range[SCD_Valid_to])
3.
date_selected_in_slicer = SELECTEDVALUE(Dates2[Date])
4.
show_hide_row =
if(
[date_selected_in_slicer] >= [date_from_current_row]
&& [date_selected_in_slicer] <= [date_to_current_row]
,
1,
0
)
Now you have all instruments ready for play. Create your visual using columns from the table "your_main_table"
Final Step: Now just add a visual level filter with the measure "show_hide_row" and set value will show only when "show_hide_row = 1".
The final output will be something like below image-
I couldn't find an answer for my issue elsewhere, so trying my luck here.
I have sales table and my final result should determine if there were sales made for same person in specific period of time, for example within 7 business days. for example:
For ID 123 I have to flag it that sale for products A,B,C where within specified period.
For ID 1234 only sales of products A and B meet the criteria product C was sold in irrelevant time frame.
I've created a date table with indicators that determine for each date if the date is a working day, but i am struggling to calculate the relevant last working day
For example: I need that for 01/01/2019 i will get 10/01/2019 date, based on NUMOFDAYS and FinalWorkday = TRUE, which basically means that i have to count NUMOFDAYS times TRUE statement for each date and return corresponding date.
After that step done I think that it would be pretty easy for me to determine if the sale for a person was made in specific time frame.
If someone can give me direction for that much appreciated
Thank you in advance
You could use a DateTable like this one:
I used the following DAX-expressions for the calculated columns:
nrDays = 7
isWorkDay = WEEKDAY('DateTable'[Date],2) < 6
rankWorkingDays = RANKX ( FILTER ( DateTable, DateTable[isWorkDay] = TRUE () ),
DateTable[Date] , , ASC )
LastWorkDay = LOOKUPVALUE ( DateTable[Date],
DateTable[isWorkDay], TRUE (),
DateTable[rankWorkingDays], DateTable[rankWorkingDays] + DateTable[nrDays])
This issue can be solved by the following, since three are non-working days/holidays we can filter them out via POWERQUERY, than add an Index Column and Another column Which is basically Index column + Number of days wanted, then simply merge duplicate of dates query on Index+number of days wanted column on Index column. And we get the correct date
