EARLIER with a new measure instead new column

I have this initial data set

 

initial data.PNG

I require the count of  products  for the previous Existing date.

New measure

Product Count = COUNT('Table'[ProductID])

New Column

PreviousDayValue =
var PreviousDate = CALCULATE( MAX('Table'[Date]); FILTER('Table';  'Table'[Date] < EARLIER('Table'[Date])))
return CALCULATE( [Product Count]; FILTER('Table'; 'Table'[Date] = PreviousDate) )

 

 My problem is that Calculated columns doesn't filter if i add slicers to  my report. Below I add an example with an slicer for product type.

PrevDay Value only works if I do not use any slicer, how to convert this in a new measure?

Hi @dpombal,

 

You can modify the measure like below: 

 

Measure = var PreDate=MAXX(FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[Date]<MAX('Table'[Date])),'Table'[Date])
var tmp=CALCULATE(COUNT('Table'[ProductID]),FILTER(ALLSELECTED('Table'),'Table'[Date]=PreDate))
var selected=ALLSELECTED('Table'[ProductType])
return
IF(tmp<>BLANK(),tmp,CALCULATE(COUNT('Table'[ProductID]),FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[Date]=PreDate && 'Table'[ProductType] in selected)) )

Hi @dpombal,

 

You can create a measure below:

Hi @v-qiuyu-msft  your solution is close to work for me , just a little issue

 

 

If i add a period slicer with (like below) day 1 of each month is not calculated since it requires data from last day of previous month

 

Here it is the PBIX https://1drv.ms/u/s!Am7buNMZi-gwi298rItJUbxzPuSU

Hi @v-qiuyu-msft just one final question, If i require more slicers like product type. Is it correct adding it on ALLSELECTED? or which is an aproximate syntax

 

 

Measure = var PreDate=MAXX(FILTER(ALL('Table');'Table'[Date]<MAX('Table'[Date]));'Table'[Date])
var tmp=CALCULATE(COUNT('Table'[ProductID]);FILTER(ALLSELECTED('Table');'Table'[Date]=PreDate))
var selected=ALLSELECTED('Table'[ProductType], 'Table'[Othercol))  
return
IF(tmp<>BLANK();tmp;CALCULATE(COUNT('Table'[ProductID]);FILTER(ALL('Table');'Table'[Date]=PreDate && 'Table'[ProductType] in selected)) )

 

 

. I don't understand correctly. what you tell me for creating new threads.

Hi,

 

I first created a calendar table using this formula and then created a relationship.  I dragged the date from the calendar table into the visual

 

=CALENDAR(MIN('Table'[Date]),MAX('Table'[Date]))

I then created the following calculated field formula to compute the previous day producr count

 

=if(OR(ISBLANK([Product Count]),ISBLANK(CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[Date]),DATESBETWEEN('Calendar'[Date],DATE(2017,1,1),MAX('Calendar'[Date])-1)))),BLANK(),CALCULATE([Product Count],DATESBETWEEN('Calendar'[Date],CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[Date]),DATESBETWEEN('Calendar'[Date],DATE(2017,1,1),MAX('Calendar'[Date])-1)),CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[Date]),DATESBETWEEN('Calendar'[Date],DATE(2017,1,1),MAX('Calendar'[Date])-1)))))
