Comparing Date from Var not updating day by day

[Nickgastaldi]

Hello Community,

dashboard is running on DirectQuery in a sqlserver .

What i want to do is count the IDs from my log/historical table in the lastupdatedate 7 days ago, in a time window of 1 hour. 
all this is working, no problem, the problem is, after midnight, the VARs continue to return yesterday values, they dont update to "today" 

VAR MAXTIME = CALCULATE(MAX(lastUpdateTimer[timekey])) -- 100s means hours, 10s means minutes.
VAR MAXDATE = CALCULATE(max(lastUpdateTimer[lastUpdateDate])) -- simple date
Return

   CALCULATE(
           DISTINCTCOUNT(fLocalizacao_historico_30dias[id])
           ,fLocalizacao_historico_30dias[SimpleDate] = MAXDATE-7
           ,fLocalizacao_historico_30dias[TimeKey] >= FORMAT(VALUE(MAXTIME - 100),"####")
           && fLocalizacao_historico_30dias[TimeKey] <= MAXTIME
           )

 if i open the PBIX file, go to powerquery window, and hit the refresh all, everything goes back to work, else, it just remains "Blank". 

Any thoughts? 

i read on some places that once a variable is set, it just keeps re-using its value, but how to make it update when there is an update? 

big thanks

Hi @Nickgastaldi,

Based on your description, it seems that the measure works as expected. 

For the var value in Direct Query, it will update when have a calculate or have a refresh.

For your scenario, you should hit a refresh to update the measure or re-use the measure.
