Changing the date when comparing values

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I'm doing some calculations where I calculate the values +1 day and +8 days against the selected date. But when I'm selecting a date in first table the date doesn't change in the other tables. I tried using it with a date table and also creating extra columns in my Table1 but nothing seems to work. Can someone help me and tell me if it is even possible?

#1

#2

When selected the expected date should be: 

demand vs supply = Selected date (ex. 12/06/2019)

+1 day = Selected date +1 (ex. 12/07/2019)

+8 day = Selected date +8 (ex. 12/14/2019)

Relationships

I'm not using any, everything is data from the same view. I can use a date table and for the the relationship would be:

date | one to Many (1:*) |  table

Data

The data is saved in a pivoted table where the column names are in 'attribute_name' and the values from the table are in 'value'. 

Measure's

I'm using 2 measures to calculate the difference for the +1 Day and 2 measures to calculate +8 Days. Below is the one for +1 Day.

Measure 1 - getting the value for +1 day

#1_Selecting_+1Day = VAR PriorDay = SELECTEDVALUE(table1[date])+1

RETURN
CALCULATE(
( SUM(table1[Value])),
ALL ( table1[date]),
table1[date] = PriorDay
)

Measure 2 - getting the difference for the two days. 

#2_Subtraction_from_prev_day = [#1_Selecting_+1Day] - SUM(table1[Value])

I hope someone can help me, if you need more information please let me know.

Hi @Anonymous ,

You need measures as below:

For +1 day:

+1day = SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Date])+1

+1 value = SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Value])+1

For +8 days:

+8 day = SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Date])+8

+8 value = SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Value])+8

Finally ,you will see:

The first formula is exactly what I need. But I can't put that measure as my rows in my matrix table. There is a work around for putting a measure in, so i'm going to try that.

In case you need for comparison, First, create a calendar table and mark it as Date. Join it with the date of your table

One Day behind =Year behind Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,Day))

8Day behind =Year behind Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),dateadd('Date'[Date],-8,Day))

One Day ahead =Year behind Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),dateadd('Date'[Date],1,Day))

To get the best of the time intelligence function. Make sure you have a date calendar and it has been marked as the date in model view. Also, join it with the date column of your fact/s.

I created the calendar table and joined it with my table. The comparing is going good but my dates are still staying the same.

Please provide a sample what you want to show vs what you are getting

I updated the post with a foto of the expected result I'm trying to get.

Not sure I still got it.

But if we want to show date of 7th and show diff 6th and 7th we use -1 day measure

but If want show same on 6th we will use +1 day measure
