Constant Value

[Sdhn420]

Hi, 

I have calculated average sales in the last 3 months. 

 VAR DURATION = DATESINPERIOD('d_Calender'[Date],LASTDATE(inv[RptMth]),-3,MONTH) RETURN CALCULATE([SalesQty],DURATION))/3

I need this value to be displayed from Jul. Currently, the value is changing for each month but i need this to be constant. 

How can i do this?

Month    Avg Sales       Qty 

July        300                 250

Aug       300                 600

Sep       300                 400

@Sdhn420 

you did not replace the complete text I asked for.

Please replace the whole text FORMAT("30.06.2020","dd.mm.yyyy")

by

"30.06"

so that you have:

VAR 
DURATION = DATESYTD('d_Calender'[Date],"30.06.")
RETURN 
CALCULATE(AVERAGE([SalesQty]),DURATION)

Hi @Sdhn420 ,

According to my understanding, the reason why the test formula you used is reporting an error is because format("30.06", "dd.mm.yyyy") returns a text type, not a date type, so an error will be reported. Try the following formula:

If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information or the expected result you expect. Let me know immediately, looking forward to your reply.

Best Regards,

@Sdhn420 can you post sample data and expected output, when you said "constant", what value you like to see as constant. Provide a bit more context/business rules.
