Dynamic dates

Hai,

 

My question is, for every year I have a calendar table with festival name and date columns, in every year festival date will vary then how to calculate sales with last 30 days , festival name is constant but date will change every year  i.e one month before or after.

 

For eg. Festival name deepavali.  In year 2020_ Nov 14th, and in year 2021_Nov 4th. With corresponding festival name I want to calculate the last 30 days of the sales.

 

  1. How to implement n thks in advance

@Sakaraipandian you can create another table that contains the festival date and name of the festival and then use that as a slicer for users to select the festival, and then use the date from the festival date to get the sales for the last 30 days.

 

Last 30 Days Sale = 
VAR __festivalDate = MAX ( YourFestivalTable[Date] )
VAR __startDate = __festivalDate - 30
RETURN
CALCULATE ( 
   [Sales Measure],
   DATESBETWEEN ( YourCalendarTable[Date], __startDate, __festivalDate ) 
)

 

You might need to tweak it a bit but this will get you started.

@Sakaraipandian you never mentioned the last 30 days from what date? I guess you are saying you want the last 30 days from the festive name? Is that what you are looking for?
