Time intelligence methods for hourly calculations

[janislv]

So, here is a measure that works just fine when I'm using the Daily calendar. What could be the possible directions for doing the same when using Hourly calendar?

Cumulative sum =
CALCULATE (
    [Measure],
    CALCULATETABLE (
        SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR ( DATESYTD ( 'Daily calendar'[Date], "31/03" ))))

Hi @janislv ,

I tested your measure and I find that it will return the YTD sum of [Measure] after 03/31 by  in last year. If you want to do the same with Hourly , I think time intelligence functions don't support you to do this. Try this code.

Here I want to get YTD sum of values after 06/01 8:00:00.

My sample:

Measure:

Measure 3 = 
VAR _ADD1 = ADDCOLUMNS(ALL('Table'),"Year",YEAR('Table'[Date]),"Month",MONTH('Table'[Date]),"Day",DAY('Table'[Date]),"Hour",HOUR('Table'[Date]))
VAR _ADD2 = SUMMARIZE(_ADD1,[Year],"Sum", SUMX(FILTER(_ADD1,[Year]=EARLIER([Year])&&[Month]>=6&&[Day]>=1&&[Hour]>8),[Value]))
Return
SUMX(FILTER(_ADD2,[Year] = MAX('Daily calendar'[Year])-1),[Sum])

Result is as below.

Time intelligence functions address dataset at granularity of date.

Hi @janislv 

Can you post sample data as text and expected output?

The most important parts are:
1. Sample data as text, use the table tool in the editing bar
2. Expected output from sample data
3. Explanation in words of how to get from 1. to 2.
4. Relation between your tables
