Values appearing but also showing as null, why???..

[Anonymous]

Here's a strange thing:

This is my formula for the Year-week of the most recent order from the clients:

Most Recent Order YearWeek =

var most_recent_week = calculate(MAX(Sales[Year_Week]))

return most_recent_week

The result is fine but it's ugly:

Before it was fine - when I changed the formula to this:

Most Recent Order YearWeek =

var most_recent_week = calculate(MAX(Sales[Year_Week]))

return 

if(ISBLANK(most_recent_week),"",

left(most_recent_week,4)

&"-"

&right(most_recent_week,2))

Then it's much better looking:

However, just today I found that it became like this: 

When I tried to debug and changed the return to --isblank(most_recent_week), I found it's like this:

Why??? Why does it have all the values and then shows as blank??

Can you help me figure out ?...

Thank you in advance!

Hi @Anonymous 

In your formula , when [most_recent_week] is null , return “” , so you need check the value of [most_recent_week] . If you still have doubts , you can provide your pbix file to us, it will help us to deal with your problem easier .

@Anonymous , just try this

calculate(MAXX(allselected(Sales),Sales[Year_Week]))

if you need data of max week use this in visual level filter or

create measure like

var _max = calculate(MAXX(allselected(Sales),Sales[Year_Week]))

return

calculate(sum(Sales[AMount]), filter(Sales, Sales[Year_Week] =_max) )

If this does not help
Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.

Hi, 

Thanks for your response. It doesn't work and give me this:

It's year-week because var_max is what i wanted to return
