Calculating previous values

A super user - smpa01 has helped me previously with this but I need additional help.. 

 

I am trying to calculate values for "Net Hires" the last two weeks, as you can see in my screen shot (the calculation is showing wrong because, I assume, it does not consider the newly added colums - Region and location) 

 

UnknownValue_0-1643055698023.png

How do I ensure that when the page is being filtered, values from this measure change accordingly? I have few additional columns (Location and Region) in the dataset can be filtered by but I cannot figure out where I should add them to the statement. Are you able to help me?

 

Last 2 Weeks =

VAR week = MAXA( 'Terms & Hires SQL'[Fiscal Week Ends])
VAR cal = CALCULATE (SUM ( 'Terms & Hires SQL'[Net Hires]),
 
FILTER (ALL ('Terms & Hires SQL'),
'Terms & Hires SQL'[Fiscal Week Ends]
>= CALCULATE ( MAXA ( 'Terms & Hires SQL'[Fiscal Week Ends] ), 'Terms & Hires SQL'[Fiscal Week Ends] < week, ALL ('Terms & Hires SQL') )
&& 'Terms & Hires SQL'[Fiscal Week Ends] <= week))
RETURN
cal

HI @Anonymous 

 

You used ALL in the formula that blocked all filters, try this:

 

Last 2 Weeks =
VAR _W1 =
    MAXA ( 'Terms & Hires SQL'[Fiscal Week Ends] )
VAR _W2 =
    CALCULATE (
        MAXA ( 'Terms & Hires SQL'[Fiscal Week Ends] ),
        FILTER (
            ALL ( 'Terms & Hires SQL' ),
            'Terms & Hires SQL'[Fiscal Week Ends] < week
        )
    )
VAR cal =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Terms & Hires SQL'[Net Hires] ),
        FILTER (
            ALL ( 'Terms & Hires SQL'[Net Hires] ),
            'Terms & Hires SQL'[Fiscal Week Ends] >= _W2
                && 'Terms & Hires SQL'[Fiscal Week Ends] <= _W1
        )
    )
RETURN
    cal

@VahidDM does not seem to work, trying to tinker with it now...

 

Last 2 Weeks =

VAR _W1 =

    MAXA ( 'Terms & Hires SQL'[Fiscal Week Ends] )

VAR _W2 =

    CALCULATE (

        MAXA ( 'Terms & Hires SQL'[Fiscal Week Ends] ),

        FILTER (

            ALL ( 'Terms & Hires SQL' ),

            'Terms & Hires SQL'[Fiscal Week Ends] < week (This only lets me enter in _W1 as the variable)

        )

    )

VAR cal =

    CALCULATE (

        SUM ( 'Terms & Hires SQL'[Net Hires] ),

        FILTER (

            ALL ( 'Terms & Hires SQL'[Net Hires] ),

            'Terms & Hires SQL'[Fiscal Week Ends] >= _W2

                && 'Terms & Hires SQL'[Fiscal Week Ends] <= _W1

        )

    )

RETURN

    cal

My bad! try this:

Last 2 Weeks =
VAR _W1 =
    MAXA ( 'Terms & Hires SQL'[Fiscal Week Ends] )
VAR _W2 =
    CALCULATE (
        MAXA ( 'Terms & Hires SQL'[Fiscal Week Ends] ),
        FILTER (
            ALL ( 'Terms & Hires SQL' ),
            'Terms & Hires SQL'[Fiscal Week Ends] < _W1
        )
    )
VAR cal =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Terms & Hires SQL'[Net Hires] ),
        FILTER (
            ALL ( 'Terms & Hires SQL'[Net Hires] ),
            'Terms & Hires SQL'[Fiscal Week Ends] >= _W2
                && 'Terms & Hires SQL'[Fiscal Week Ends] <= _W1
        )
    )
RETURN

I cannot, I am sorry, it's all coming from SQL and  there is a lot of sensitve data but here is a sample of the data

Hi @Anonymous 

 

Try this:

Last 2 Weeks = 
VAR _W1 =
    MAX ( 'Terms & Hires SQL'[Fiscal Week Ends] )
VAR _W2 =
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( 'Terms & Hires SQL'[Fiscal Week Ends] ),
        FILTER (
            ALL ( 'Terms & Hires SQL' ),
            'Terms & Hires SQL'[Fiscal Week Ends] < _W1
        )
    )
VAR cal =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Terms & Hires SQL'[Net Hires] ),
        FILTER (
            ALL ( 'Terms & Hires SQL'),
            'Terms & Hires SQL'[Fiscal Week Ends] >= _W2
                && 'Terms & Hires SQL'[Fiscal Week Ends] <= _W1
        )
    )
RETURN
    _W2

 

In your sample Data the result is zero (11-Feb net Hire is 1 and 4-Feb it's -1)

It's a date and if created as a new column and formatted as a number the values are the same
