Have a question on Informatica powercenter. We have a target column END_DATE in oracle as date which is populated from a different column. I put an expression transformation and used an IF condition.
IIF(Status='Expired',Currentdate,'12/31/9999')
Basically, if status column has a value 'Expired' it will update END_DATE column as current date ELSE it will put an infinite date such as '12/31/9999'.
Thanks for your help.

I have a fact table which has 'Last Data Update' column that shows current month date(mm/dd/yyyy), 06/13/2022.
I am trying to add column called 'report month' that returns a value that shows previous month/year 05/2022 to create relationship with calendar table.
=Date.Month([Last Data Update])-1
I have used this code, but this only returns 5 and it is in number format.
is there a way to return 05/2022 in DAX ?
Thanks in advance.
This is M, not DAX. Replace your custom column with the following code:
Text.PadStart( Text.From(Date.Month([Last Data Update])-1),2,"0") &"/"& Text.From(Date.Year([Last Data Update]))
It worked for we with this 3 simple steps:
Step 1: Create a column with current year (True/False statement) by using:
CurrentYear = IF(YEAR([Last Data Update])=YEAR(NOW()),1,0)
Step 2: Create a column that will indicate if the current date (based on column "Last Data Update") belongs to previous month or not (True/False statement).
PreviousMonth = IF([CurrentYear]=1 && (MONTH(TODAY())-1)=MONTH([Last Data Update]),1,0)
Step 3: Create a filter on your visual where you select filter "PreviousMonth" with value "1" to show dates only from previous month).
If you like it. Don't forget to rate it.
Success,
Mark
This month-year
FORMAT( [Last Data Update], "mm/yyyy")
previous month
FORMAT( DATEADD([Last Data Update],-1,Month), "mm/yyyy")
I have two tables in Power BI. I need to return the value from one table based on the the date range and employee_id of the original table. Can anyone assist me in how to do this? the Hierarchy_ID changes from Month to Month and is unique to the Employee_ID. I need to use the Employee_ID look at the Entry_Date and determine the Hierarchy_ID based on the start/end date of the Employee_ID. Below is an example of what I'm trying to accomplish:
enter image description here
Any assistance is appreciated.
Thanks
I am trying to create a separate table that will have dates between Start_Date and End_date. These dates are measures. Below is the detail of my requirement..
I have a Dropdown in report which lists distinct dates of fact.sales table and is a single select. I am saving this selected date in a Measure --> End_Date = selectedvalue(sale[Delivery Date Key]).
Now I am showing a report using what-if parameter. The slider slides from values 1 to 24.
Now I am creating another Measure..
Start_Date = date(year('Date'[End Date]),MONTH('Date'[End Date])-Cust_Key[Cust_Key Value],1)`
The Problem - When I try to use calendar function to create table using below DAX function, I get an error - "The start date or end date in Calendar function can not be Blank value."
calendar = calendar('Date'[Start Date],'Date'[End Date])
Can measures not be used inside the Calendar/GenerateSeries function.. Thanks in advance..
The SELECTEDVALUE function will return a blank if you haven't selected a single value. Note that calculated tables cannot read slicer values since they are only computed when the data is loaded, not whenever you interact with a slicer. Therefore, your End_Date measure returns a blank since it isn't filtered by the slicer.
You can use measures within any calculated tables but they won't interact with any dynamic slicers or filters. Calculated tables in your data model are static once the model is loaded. You can, however, use temporary/dynamic calculated tables within a measure so long as the measure still returns a single value at the end.
I'm not sure I've summarised this question correctly, so I'll add a description below of the actual problem.
We have a report that displays data for 'jobs'. These jobs have a few relevant date fields on them such as Created Date, Completed Date and Invoice Date. We currently have 3 slicers on the report that work as expected based on these dates.
Users sometimes use all 3 slicers at the same time and end up with all sorts of useless data. No matter how many times we've told them to reset the filters before changing the date slicers, they keep forgetting to do that.
They also do not want to have 3 separate reports.
We've been tasked with providing them with the following:
Something that lets them select what they want to filter on, with the options only being Created, Completed or Invoiced
A slicer that works based on the option they selected above.
We've tried creating a calculated column that is set to one of those dates based on the option selected in the disconnected slicer, and then adding a slicer that works off that column, but we aren't having any luck. The values in the calculated column are not correct
This is what we've done in attempting to solve the problem:
Create a measure that captures the selected value
SelectedMeasure = SELECTEDVALUE('Date Filter Options'[Name],"Created Date")
Create a calculated column to set the appropriate date value
Please note we're only testing with two out of the three possible values at the moment.
Selected Date Filter = if(jobs[SelectedMeasure] = "Created Date", (jobs[Created Date (DateOnly)]), (jobs[Completed Date (DateOnly)]))
What we're finding is that the Selected Date Filter column does not update with the correct date value, even after we change the slicer and the measure updates as expected.
We're totally stumped - I'm aware we are probably a fair bit away from the correct solution, so any help would be appreciated
Not quite sure how to best present the data model, but here are the relevant fields of the 'jobs' table
jobNumber: string
jobId: guid
CreatedDate: date
CompletedDate: date
InvoicedDate date
The Date Filter Options table just consists of one column with these options:
"Created Date"
"Completed Date"
"Invoiced Date"
I've a requirement where I need to compare a column date with current date. If my column date > last sunday's date I need to populate a status. Here, am facing issues in calculating present week's sunday date.
I need to calculate Previous Sunday's date in Informatica expression transformation.
I am not exactly sure about your requirement, however, you can always get the day and based on that subtract a fixed number of days to reach any sunday you want (present week or previous week). You should have a limited (7) set of IIF statements to achieve this.
Eg. If the day is 'Tuesday' (day of the current date) then subtract 2 from the date to get sunday date!
You can write an expression as- trunc(sysdate,'d') in a variable port which is having datatype as date.
The expression would return the Sunday date of the current date. Then you can compare the two dates (your column date and the variable port date) and populate the status.
If you just want to verify the result of the expression trunc(sysdate,'d') you can fire the following query in the oracle db:
"select trunc(sysdate,'d') from dual"
result returned would be the latest Sunday date.
