Date slicers that affects column differently

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I have a database where I need to filter what happened before a certain year, and what happened during that year. Here is a simplified version of what I need to do :

Let's say I have this data:

(Yes I sometimes have several entries from a single year).

And I have a slicer that filters by year. If the slicer was set to 2012, the result should be:

I tried unlinking the slicer from the table, and simply creating CALCULATE() functions that are filtered when date < selectedValues(Year) and the other being filtered when date = selectedValues(year), but it I simply had blanks for the amount before.

Thank you for your help

@Anonymous , Make sure use separate Date or year table , selection should give you selected  year

example

this year = Sum('order'[Qty])

before year=
var _max = today()
var _max = maxx(allselected('Date'),'Date'[Date])
return
calculate(Sum('order'[Qty]),filter(all('Date'),'Date'[Year]<=_max))

This Year = CALCULATE(sum('order'[Qty]),filter(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Year]=max('Date'[Year])))
Last Year = CALCULATE(sum('order'[Qty]),filter(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Year]=max('Date'[Year])-1))

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. Refer :

Appreciate your Kudos.

amount this year = CALCULATE(sum('Table'[sold]), FILTER('Table', 'Table'[yr] >= SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[yr])))

amount before =
var slicer = SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[yr])
return
CALCULATE(sum('Table'[sold]), FILTER(all('Table'), 'Table'[yr] < SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[yr])))

I tried this

amount before =

var slicer = SELECTEDVALUE(Time_Dim[Date].[Année])

return CALCULATE(sum(sales[Qty]); filter(all(Time_Dim); Time_Dim[Date].[Année] < slicer))

Where the column Time_Dim[date] is the date and the column sales[qty] is the amount, and it only gives me blanks...😕

(année is the equivalent of year)

Hi @Anonymous ,

In your formula, you quoted two table fields 'sales[Qty]' and 'Time_Dim[Date]'. If there is no relationship between these tables, you will not get the right result.

Not certain what does your dataset look like, is there any other field in your sales table like year.. However, if your sales table actually has year column, you can use the formula as @vanessafvg  mentioned to calculate directly.

Could you please consider sharing your sample table for further discussion?

Finaly, I just deleted the slicer and put it back again, and the formula I first used worked. Thanks a lot for your help
