Hi All,
I am trying to calcuate the count for the current year & month; 2020 Jan to April (current month) and also show the same period Jan to April but for last year 2019. I have created a date table and marked it as a date table.
Date =
ADDCOLUMNS (
CALENDAR (DATE(2000,1,1), DATE(2025,12,31)),
"DateAsInteger", FORMAT ( [Date], "YYYYMMDD" ),
"Year", YEAR ( [Date] ),
"Monthnumber", FORMAT ( [Date], "MM" ),
"YearMonthnumber", FORMAT ( [Date], "YYYY/MM" ),
"YearMonthShort", FORMAT ( [Date], "YYYY/mmm" ),
"MonthNameShort", FORMAT ( [Date], "mmm" ),
"MonthNameLong", FORMAT ( [Date], "mmmm" ),
"DayOfWeekNumber", WEEKDAY ( [Date] ),
"DayOfWeek", FORMAT ( [Date], "dddd" ),
"DayOfWeekShort", FORMAT ( [Date], "ddd" ),
"Quarter", "Q" & FORMAT ( [Date], "Q" ),
"YearQuarter", FORMAT ( [Date], "YYYY" ) & "/Q" & FORMAT ( [Date], "Q" )
)
which has a 1 to many relationship to my data table 'New Business' [Variation Issue Date]
Current Year DAX :
Count YTD = CALCULATE(COUNT('New Business'[Count]), DATESYTD('New Business'[Variation Issue Date]))
returns the correct count of 8206.
Prior Year DAX:
target = 9952
Count PYTD = CALCULATE([Count YTD], SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('Date'[Date])) returns same count as current year
Count PYTD = CALCULATE([Count YTD], SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('New Business'[Variation Issue Date])) returns error Function 'SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR' expects a contiguous selection when the date column is not unique, has gaps or it contains time portion
Count PYTD = CALCULATE(TOTALMTD(COUNT('New Business'[Count]),'Date'[Date]), SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('Date'[Date])) returns blank
Count PYTD = CALCULATE(TOTALMTD(COUNT('New Business'[Count]),'New Business'[Variation Issue Date]), SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('Date'[Date])) returns 2813
Count PYTD = CALCULATE([Count YTD], DATEADD('Date'[Date],-1, year)) returns 8206
Count PYTD = CALCULATE(count('New Business'[Count]), DATEADD('Date'[Date],-1, year)) returns 386804
I have tried a few different ways to do it and none of them work, so any help would be appreicated.
Thanks
