LOD to DAX conversion

Hi Guys,
 
I hope you all are doing well.
 
I am working on a Tableau to Power Bi migration project and stuck in yet another calculation.
 
I want to convert one LOD to Dax in power BI. Below the the Tableau LOD calculation:
 
{ FIXED [Parts Id]:sum({ FIXED [Parts Id],[Part Number],[Country]: AVG(if [Year] = int([ParamYear])-1 then [Vol] end )})}
 
 
I tried to use below Calculation in Power BI
Var yr= SELECTEDVALUE(CC[Param_year]) return
SUMX(
SUMMARIZE(CC,CC[parts id],CC[part number], cc[country],
"volpyref", AVERAGEX(cc,if(CC[param_year]=yr-1, CC[vol]))),
[volpyref])
 
The similar calculation is working perfectly when I am using it for [Year] = int([ParamYear]) . I took the variable and passed the same in the Dax, please refer above for more details .
But when its [Year] = int([ParamYear])-1 , it is giving me blank everytime in power BI but there are values showing for tableau.. 
 
I tried several methods but i am getting the same everytime. I am trying to calculate this to find previous year vol. 
**And year filter is being mandatorily used.

Hi Icey,

 

Apologies for the late reply as i was busy with some other stuffs.

 

Coming to your provided solution . Atleast this time I am not getting blank, however the value isn't matching to Tableau version.

I will try to provide you sample data after sometime if its possible.

 

Thanks

@Anonymous , try a measure like

calculate(Average(Table[Vol]), filter(Table, Table[Year] = selectedvalue(Year[Year]), allexcept(Table,Table[Part ID], [Part Number], [Country])))

 

Allexcept with fact table and dimension

Hi Amit,  thanks for your reply,

 

I tried your calculation and many other ways, but the values are not matching. 

 

 

var yrs= SELECTEDVALUE(CC[param_year]) return
var yr = CONVERT(yrs,INTEGER) return
sumx( CC,
CALCULATE(AVERAGEx(cc,CC[vol])
,CONVERT(cc[param_year], INTEGER)= (yr-1),ALLEXCEPT(cc,CC[parts_id],CC[country],CC[part_number])
))

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Try this:

Measure = 
VAR yr =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( CC[Param_year] )
RETURN
    SUMX (
        SUMMARIZE (
            CC,
            CC[parts id],
            CC[part number],
            cc[country],
            "volpyref",
                CALCULATE (
                    AVERAGE ( CC[vol] ),
                    FILTER ( ALL ( CC ), CC[param_year] = yr - 1 )
                )
        ),
        [volpyref]
    )

 

If this doesn't work, share some sample data for test.

Scenario1: I havent selected any year from the year slicer and now PY year is coming for me, also I have hardcoded the previous year as 2021.

******* 

Scenario2:

When I have selected an year from the Base year slicer, PY value will vanish either using hardcode or using a variable also. I have also included your solution, but its coming unique value for all. But i should get the PY year value as show with the hard code value

You may also see this coming when i remove country from the table, as i dont need to show it.

I will anyway be using country filter for my main dashboard.

 

 

Please suggest me what needs to be done here. I don't think this filter(all(table_name) is required here. but when I am removing this . I am getting blank here as well
