I have a Power Bi dashboard tracking several metrics since the beginning of last month . Some of the comparisons I make are MTD vs Last MTD count of metrics like Total users, No of posts and connections made.
MTD(June) and LMTD(May) were working well last month(June) but when we moved to a new month(july) the numbers are off.
Here's my measure
MTD_Users = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS('reporting profiles'), FILTER('reporting profile', MONTH('reporting profile'[date_created])=MONTH(TODAY())))
LMTD_USERS = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS('reporting profiles'), FILTER('reporting profile', MONTH('reporting profile'[date_created])=MONTH(TODAY())-1))
Since July 2nd these measures are not displaying correct figures for MTD(July 1st) and LMTD(June 1st)
Any advice/assistance will be highly appreciated
You need to ride off contex filter and that mean we must use function ALL or REMOVEFILTERS;

LMTD_USERS = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS('reporting profiles'), FILTER(ALL('reporting profile'[date_created])), MONTH('reporting profile'[date_created])=MONTH(TODAY())-1))

I have an employee dataset and I'm trying to display the proportion of BAME staff only as a KPI. My dataset has duplicate lines (staff who have more than 1 role) and so I have to use a distinct count of their staff IDs (i.e. cannot use measure values or SUM) as I want to measure ethnicity per person not per role. The only way I can get the % of BAME across the population is by having all other categories visible however I am looking for a way to display the % of BAME across total only. For example in a table calc BAME = 12%, Non-BAME=85% and Unknown=3% - I want to keep the 12% only to put on my dashboard.
I've not needed to do this in Tableau before and I'm quite new to the software. Is there a way to do this? I thought that perhaps I would need to do an IF statement similar to Excel but the below syntax returns an error.
IF [Ethnic Group]="BAME" THEN COUNTD([Staff ID]) / COUNTD([Staff ID]) END
Thank you so much in advance!
COUNTD(IF [Ethnic Group]="BAME" THEN [Staff ID] END)/COUNTD([Staff ID])
I am creating a dashboard in Power BI. I have to report the executions of a process in a daily basis. When selecting one of these days, I want to create another calculated table based on the day selected (providing concrete information about the number of executions and hours) as it follows:
TABLE_B = FILTER(TABLE_A; TABLE_A[EXEC_DATE] = [dateSelected])
When [dateSelected] is previously calculated from the selected day as it follows:
dateSelected = FORMAT(FIRSTDATE(TABLE_A[EXEC_DATE]);"dd/MM/yyyy")
I tried a lot of alternatives as, for example, create individualy the year, month and day to later compare. I used the format in both sides of the comparation, but none of them works for me. The most of the cases it returns me the whole source table without any kind of filters. In other cases, it doesn't return anything. But, when I put a concrete day ...
TABLE_B = FILTER(TABLE_A; TABLE_A[EXEC_DATE] = "20/02/2019")
... it makes the filter correctly generating the table as I want.
Does someone know how to implement the functionality I am searching for?
Thanks in advance.
You're almost there Juan. You simply need to use dateSelected as a varialbe inside of your DAX query:
TABLE_B =
var dateSelected = FIRSTDATE(TABLE_A[EXEC_DATE])
return
FILTER(TABLE_A, TABLE_A[EXEC_DATE] = dateSelected)
Note that all my dates are formatted as Date so I didn't need to use a FORMAT function.
Here's the final result:
I admit that this behavior can be quite confusing! Here is a useful link that will help you understand Power BI's context:
https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Filtering-table-by-measures/td-p/131361
Let's treat option 1 as FILTER(TABLE_A; TABLE_A[EXEC_DATE] = "20/02/2019") and option 2 as FILTER(TABLE_A; TABLE_A[EXEC_DATE] = [dateSelected]). Quote from the post:
In option 1, in the filter function, you are iterating
over each row of your 'Table' (row context). In option 2, because you
are using a measure as part of the filter condition, this row context
is transformed into an equivalent filter context (context transition).
Using variables (...) is very convenient when you want to filter
a column based on the value of a measure but you don't want context
transition to apply.
Newbie here to Power-BI. I have a project where I need to count the number of active customers per month based on the Start_date and exit_date. There are some customers that do not yet have an exit date as they are still active/ haven't yet exited.
If all you want to do is count the customers that have no exit date (active customers), this worked for me:
CountActive = COUNTBLANK('your table'[EXIT_DATE])
If you want to show the active customers based on the start date you can simply use a slicer with START_DATE. The measure will automatically update the count of active customers.
If you want to show the customers that already exited (non active customers) you could do the following:
CountNonBlank = COUNTROWS('your table') - COUNTBLANK('your table'[END_DATE])
Again, just simply add a slicer to show count depending on start date.
Hope this helps
I need to develop a report with a table that includes several dimensions and displays a sales revenue measure. Most of the times this measure throws a zero, but the user wants to visualize a blank space instead. I have searched around, but I couldn´t find anything that gives me support. So if anyone has experimented this or found a workaround I would thank you for your time.
You could use a IF condition to replace 0 with blanks. For example, if you are summarizing a field called "Sales" the following formula would work:
Measure = IF(Sum(Sales)=0,"",Sum(Sales))
Hope this helps.
Adding the additional option based on Ricardo's suggestion:
Measure = IF(Sum(Sales)=0,Blank(),Sum(Sales))
If you have a measure [Measure] and you want to replace 0 with a blank, you can do the following:
MeasureReplaceBlank =
VAR Measure = [Measure]
RETURN IF ( Measure = 0, BLANK(), Measure )
Note that since I stored the calculation of [Measure] as a variable, I don't need to call it twice (once for the condition and once for the True branch of the IF function).
I am new to power BI and stuck with an issue. I have my model as follows:
Date Dimension
Measurement Fact
The date column in Date Dimension is link to measuredate in Measurement Fact
Below is a sample data:
NB: In edit query, I have changed the type of measuredate to Date only.
I have tried the measure below but it doesn't work the way I want. It will sum all the values of the day but what I want is the last value of the day:
day_fuel_consumption =
CALCULATE (
SUM ( measurement[measurementvalue] ),
FILTER (
measurement,
measurement[metername] = "C-FUEL"
&& measurement[measuredate] = MAX ( measurement[measuredate] )
)
)
My Goal is to get 29242, i.e the last value of the day. Remember that measuredate is a Date field and not Datetime (I changed to Date field so that my Year and Month filter can work correctly). I have changed the type in edit query.
Changing your measure to use a variable could be the solution:
DFC =
var maxDate = MAX(measurement[measuredate])
return
CALCULATE(
SUM(measurement[measurementvalue]),
measurement[measuredate] = maxDate
)
However, you should keep the datetime format for measureDate. If you don't want to see the time stamp just change the format I power bi. Otherwise power bi will see two values with max date and sum them, instead of taking the last one.
Well, if you want to avoid creating a measure, you could drag the fields you are filtering over to the visual filters pane. Click your visual, and scroll a tiny bit and you will see the section I am referring to. From there, just drag the field you are trying to filter In this case, your value. Then select "Top N". It will allow you to select a top (number) or bottom (number) based on another field. Strange enough, it does allow you to do top value by top value. It doesn't make sense when you say it out loud, but it works all the same.
This will show you the top values for whatever value field you are trying to use. As an added bonus, you can show how little or how many you want, on the fly.
As far as DAX goes, I'm afraid I am a little DAX illiterate compared to some other folks that may be able to help you.
I had to create two separate measures as shown below for this to work as I wanted:
max_measurement_id_cf = CALCULATE(MAX(measurement[measurementid]), FILTER(measurement, measurement[metername] = "C-FUEL"))
DFC =
var max_id_cf = [max_measurement_id_cf]
return
CALCULATE(SUM(measurement[measurementvalue]), measurement[measurementid] = max_id_cf)
