I have a calculation that is being done on a weekly basis (x+y/x*40) . 40 is the number of hrs worked per week and x is the num of weeks selected.
I have a relative date slicer using which the user will select the number of weeks. The catch is that there are two kinds of relative weeks - one from the present day and one is the entire week.
If the user selects 2 weeks it will be (x+y/2*40).
I have a calculation called
Tot Weeks = DATEDIFF(MIN( DimDate[Calendar Date] ), MAX( DimDate[Calendar Date]), week )
However, this doesn't work well if I select 'Weeks(Calendar Date)' in the drop down. For the value to be right, I created
Num weeks = DISTINCTCOUNT(DimDate[CalendarWeekOfYear])
Num weeks works fine only when 'Weeks(Calendar Date)' is selected. I am trying to retrieve the parameter passed to the slicer to get my values right.(whether the user selects 'Weeks(Calendar Date)' or 'Weeks' in the slicer).Is there a way to retrieve this or
Is there a way to combine these two?
If you have a slicer like with Weeks (Calendar Date) and Weeks as the two options in the column Slicer[WeekType], then you can pass your selection into a measure like this:
Weeks =
VAR WeekType = SELECTEDVALUE(Slicer[WeekType], <default>)
RETURN IF(WeekType = "Weeks", [Tot Weeks], [Num weeks])

I want to show an hourly score for today that refreshes every hour. I built it and it works, but now I want it to compare the hourly average for the last week and if it was higher it shows a red arrow up if lower it shows a green arrow down. I don't have a problem adding the arrows as it's very easy, but I've previously added a column to the query that shows if day = today and then used it as a filter inside the visual to show today's data, so when I try to compare the results the filter also affects the calculation I created:
Measure = calculate(average(rawdata[contacts]),rawdata[Week to Average = 1)
week to average is the column that tells if the week was the previous week is simply if(weekcolumn=weeknum(today())-1,1,0)
Do you know any way i can compare last week average to todays data?
Also visual that i used is a matrix
This is just an idea. So if it is enough to solve the case then ok. If it's not it, then, please, add more info about your data table - a screenshot or sample data. how you calculate your average and what do you mean by average? At least what kind of data you are dealing with is it a sum of some values per day, do you have a different number of values for each day? etc.
measure 1:
averContacts = AVERAGE(rawdata[contacts]) -- no CALCULATE()
measure 2:
avrToday =
CALCULATE(
[averContacts]
,TreatAS({TODAY()}, yourTable[DatesColumn])
)
measure 3:
aveLastWeek =
VAR prevWeekEnd = TODAY() - WEEKDAY(Today(),2) -- 2 -> Mon-Sun week format
VAR prevWeekStart = prevWeekEnd - 7
VAR DatesLastWeek = CALENDAR(prevWeekStart ,prevWeekEnd)
RETURN
CALCULATE(
[averContacts]
,TreatAS(DatesLastWeek, yourTable[DatesColumn])
)
measure for your visual
lastWeek_vs_Today = DIVIDE(avrToday ,aveLastWeek)
I have production figures which sum the quantity of parts produced by each workstation on a weekly basis. These are shown in a matrix with workstation number on the rows and week numbers across the columns.
I want to be able to select 2 weeks and then
Display all the weeks in the range selected by a slicer.
Show the quantity values for only the first and last selected weeks.
The first part is working using a simple Week Slicer.
The second part, however, always shows the totals for all the selected weeks rather than the 2 individual week quantities.
In this example I have selected weeks 4 and 9 and therefore the expected values for quantities are 11,505 and 49,425 as shown in the Good Qty data with red frames.
The measures to extract the fist and last selected week numbers are working:
SelWeek1 = FIRSTNONBLANK(VALUES(vLink[Week]),0)
SelWeek2 = LASTNONBLANK(VALUES(vLink[Week]),0)
My measures for the week quantities are:
IF([SelWeek1]>0,
CALCULATE([Sum vGood Qty],FILTER(vLink, vLink[Week] = [SelWeek1])),
0
)
and
SelWeek2 Qty =
IF([SelWeek2]>0,
CALCULATE([Sum vGood Qty],FILTER(vLink, vLink[Week] = [SelWeek2])),
0
)
What am I missing?
Try to use below measures:
SelWeek1 = MIN(vLink[week])
Measure =
VAR _selWeek = [SelWeek1]
VAR result =
CALCULATE(
[Sum vGood Qty],
vLink[Week] = _selWeek
)
RETURN
result
and for selected week 2 change min to max in the first measure and _selWeek variable in the second measure respectively.
I need a DAX measure that gives me the sum of durations for multiple categories restricted by a date slicer.
In this simplified example there are 2 categories with 3 subcategories each. A DateTime Slicer on the dashboard is set to the timespan of 2nd of January 2021 noon to 6th of January midnight. I need the summed up duration of all categories in this timespan.
Input data:
A table containing multiple rows for each category with a start date and an end date.
The complicated part is that there are pauses between the timestamps.
Desired output:
A table on the dashboard containing the category and a calculated measure for the summed up duration during the sliced timespan.
When changing the slicer the meaure shall change as well.
My current solution for this problem is an M formulato create a list of all days in each timespan and to unpivot all lists. In the dashboard the count of rows gives you the number of days in the selected timespan. This solution though reqires a much larger input table and soes not work if you want to be exact on the second, only on days.
I tried so solve this via a measure but didn't make any progress worth showing here.
all datetime values are in the format dd.mm.yyyy hh:mm:ss (24h system)
I found a way to do it by using 2 measures.
First measure calculates the time during the timespan for each element:
I use one Date Table only consisting of all dates available which is the input for the slicer and the data Table called "Data".
duration_in_timespan_single =
VAR MinTs = MIN ('Date'[Date])
VAR MaxTs = MAX ('Date'[Date])
VAR MinUtcMin = MIN ('Data'[Date_Start])
VAR MaxUtcMax = MAX ('Data'[Date_End])
RETURN
IF(
AND(MinUtcMin >= MinTs, MinUtcMin <= MaxTs),
IF(
MaxUtcMax <= MaxTs,
CONVERT((MaxUtcMax-MinUtcMin),DOUBLE),
CONVERT((MaxTs-MinUtcMin),DOUBLE)),
IF(
MinUtcMin < MinTs,
IF(
MaxUtcMax > MinTs,
IF(
MaxUtcMax <= MaxTs,
CONVERT((MaxUtcMax-MinTs),DOUBLE),
CONVERT((MaxTs-MinTs),DOUBLE)
),
0
),
0
)
)
The second measure just sums up the first for each category:
duration_in_timespan = SUMX('Data',[duration_in_timespan_single])
How to construct DAX measure to calculate sum of YTD value for specific month?
Here we have FactTable grouped by months. FactTable is filled with both Actual data and Forecast data. The only way to know when Actual end is information in table [Cut of date] in column [End of YTD]. In table [Cut of date] in column [End of YTD] – it is a single value table – we have the interesting chosen month, for which we want to see the calculation of YTD. In our case it is March. FactTable is updated irregularly every month with usually one month delay. There is no way of linking it to time functions like TODAY because of irregular update.
We would like to have a correct value of YTD displayed in yellow Card Visual for the month [End of YTD]. When we click on the slicer on "2018-03" we get almost what we want – correct value of 66 in the yellow Card. However this solution is not automatic. I want to see correct value automatically when the [End of YTD] month changes, in our case to April or then to May. I do not want it done by user.
My desperate effort can be downloaded from file: DAX YTD.pbix
I pursued the deer in various ways:
By using FILTER function in DAX measures. But it seems that the
FILTER function is to harsh. It is applied to fact table first,
selecting only one month, and then calculating YTD value wrongly. So if
there would be any option for forcing order of calculation and filtering, there would
be hope.
I tried SWITCH function to display proper result
for specific month and 0 or null for other months. Although I
succeed in this, I was not able to take advantage of it. When it
came to filtering I was as hopeless as before. BTW I would be able
to make it if SWITCH produced totals at the end of the table, but it
does not. Surprisingly.
I put some hopes in RELATED function to display proper results in the [Cut off date] table. I have not walk out of the fog so far.
I would appreciate your help.
Update before bounty.
Going to higher level. I have introduced a Category column to FactTable. Please download DAX YTD by category.pbix. So filtering gets more complex now. I would like to have correct YTD figures for Apples category.
Did you use the Date column from the Calendar table, instead of the one from FactTable?
If you use the date column from FactTable, when you apply a filter on the date, it will filter on the fact records which is in March, and then do the calculation afterwards, hence the result 33.
If you use the one from Calendar, when you apply a filter on it, it filters the records on Calendar (which you want to show in the chart), so the underlying calculation will still remain intact.
A working example:
Calendar = CALENDAR(DATE(2010, 1, 1), DATE(2020, 12, 31))
I suggest you to change the calculations of the measures to avoid missing values in some cases:
Total = SUM(FactTable[Value])
MTD = TOTALMTD([Total], 'Calendar'[Date])
YTD = TOTALYTD([Total], 'Calendar'[Date])
UPDATE:
It's much clearer to me what you want to achieve now but it still seems an XY problem to me.
I understand that you want to show the dashboard as is so that users do not need to click/input every time to see what they are supposed to see. That's why I don't get why you need to create a new table to store the Cut off date (End of YTD). How is it going to be maintained automatically?
The relative date filtering solution above actually still works in the .pbix file you've shared. If you drag the Date column from the Calendar table to visual level filters for the yellow card and add the relative date filtering, it should work as below:
For the End of YTD visual, you can use the following measure to get the first day of last calendar month, so you don't need to create another table for it:
End of YTD = EOMONTH(TODAY(), -2) + 1
And hopefully this is what you want to achieve:
Updated file for your reference.
UPDATE again:
I think you'll have to write your own YTD calculation instead of using the built-in one, so that you can make use of the cut off date you defined in another table. Here I assume that you have one and only one row in 'Cut off date'[End of YTD]. Note that I've added ALL() to the filter, so that the yellow card remains the same (66) instead of showing blank when some other rows/filters are clicked:
YTD_Special =
CALCULATE(
[Total],
FILTER(
ALL(FactTable),
FactTable[Date] >= DATE(YEAR(VALUES('Cut off date'[End of YTD])), 1, 1) &&
FactTable[Date] <= VALUES('Cut off date'[End of YTD])
)
)
I would resolve this by adding a calculated column to your Calendar table to categorise each row into either "YTD" or "Other", e.g.
Is YTD =
IF (
[Date] >= DATE ( YEAR ( DISTINCT ( 'Cut off date'[End of YTD] ) ), 1, 1 )
&& [Date] <= DISTINCT ( 'Cut off date'[End of YTD] ),
"YTD",
"Other"
)
I would then add the new Is YTD field to the Visual level filters of your Card visual, and choose YTD from the Basic filtering list. The measure shown can be your simple Total measure: SUM(FactTable[Value]).
This is a far more flexible and resuable solution than any specific measure gymnastics. You will not need an explosion of measures to apply the required logic on top of every base measure - they will all just work naturally. You can apply the filter at any level: Visual, Page, Report, or put it in a Slicer for control by the end user.
I prefer to return text results e.g. "YTD" / "Other" (rather than 1/0, True/False or Yes/No), as this allows for easy extension to other requirements e.g. "Prior YTD" (1 Jan 2017 to 1 Mar 2017). It also is clearer when used in visuals.
Actually I shouldn't claim the credit for this design - this roughly follows how Cognos Transformer's Relative Time functionality worked back in the 90s.
I did something like this in my Periodic/YTD report (last sheet): http://ciprianbusila.ro/
I have used the index value of the month selected (range 1-12) and based on this I have created a measure using max function please see the code below:
ACT = var
ACT_periodic=calculate([Value],Scenarios[Scenario]=values(Scenarios[Scenario]))
var max_month=max(Periods[Period Order])
var ACT_YTD=CALCULATE([Value],Scenarios[Scenario]=VALUES(Scenarios[Scenario]),all(Periods[Month]),Periods[Period Order]<=max_month)
var myselection=if(HASONEVALUE(MRD_view[.]),values(MRD_view[.]),"PERIODIC")
return
switch(
true(),
myselection="PERIODIC",ACT_periodic,
myselection="YEAR TO DATE",ACT_YTD,
ACT_periodic
)
I've used the new Quick Measures feature of Power BI to build a 3 month rolling average calculation and it's working well. The equation is displayed below. However, when I try to use this metric in a time series visualization, the calculations are displaying three months past the current month, but I'd like for the calculation to stop at the current month.
I've played around with the __DATE_PERIOD variable to no avail. My date filter for the page is set to show all dates in the current months or 12 months prior via a calculated column on the date table.
Is anyone aware of how I can get the visualization to end at the current month?
Average Days to Close Rolling Average =
IF(
ISFILTERED('Date'[Date]),
ERROR("Time intelligence quick measures can only be grouped or filtered by the Power BI-provided date hierarchy."),
VAR __LAST_DATE =
ENDOFMONTH('Date'[Date].[Date])
VAR __DATE_PERIOD =
DATESBETWEEN(
'Date'[Date].[Date],
STARTOFMONTH(DATEADD(__LAST_DATE, -3, MONTH)),
__LAST_DATE
)
RETURN
AVERAGEX(
CALCULATETABLE(
SUMMARIZE(
VALUES('Date'),
'Date'[Date].[Year],
'Date'[Date].[QuarterNo],
'Date'[Date].[Quarter],
'Date'[Date].[MonthNo],
'Date'[Date].[Month]
),
__DATE_PERIOD
),
CALCULATE(
'Closed Opportunities'[Average Days to Close],
ALL('Date'[Date].[Day])
)
)
)
In order to limit what is displayed within your chart, you need to filter the applicable date field so it only displays the dates you desire. In this case, you only want it to include dates <= today.
In order to automatically filter it when it is refreshed, I typically add a custom DAX column to the date table that I can filer on. In this case it would be something along the lines of:
excludeFutureDatesInd = 'Date'[Date] <= TODAY()
You can then add a visual, page, or report filter selecting all dates where [excludeFutureDatesInd] = True.
Not sure if you're still having issues with this, but I'd like to share a hack fix for those landing here. I fixed this issue by filtering on the base data (in your example, this would be "Average Days to Close"). Set a visual-level filter to include only those items where Average Days to Close > 0, and you should get the extra dates cut off the end of the graph.
So long as all of your base data passes through the filter, you should be good.
