Help DAX New Measure Calculation Previous Year

Hi,

 

I've created a measure (MEASURE_X_PREVIOUS_YEAR ) on my tabular model to compare the amount of the MEASURE_X with the same measure in the previous year working with weeks and days of the weeks 

 

a) I've added a calculated field on my "Date table" as 

 

DATE[DT_ISODAYWEEKYEAR]=

value(DATE[DT_WEEKDAYNUM])*1000000+ value(DATE[DT_ISOWEEKNUMBERYEARINT])*10000+value(DATE[DT_ISOWEEKREFYEAR])

 

DT_DATEDT_ISODAYWEEKYEAR
08/02/20146062014
09/02/20147062014
05/05/20141192014
06/05/20142192014

 

b) I've created an intermediate measure to calculate the value of MEASURE_X in the same week of the previous year by day

 

MEASURE_X_PREVIOUS_YEAR_TMP:=Calculate([MEASURE_X];Filter(ALL('DATE'); DATE[DT_ISODAYWEEKYEAR] = Max( TEMPO[DT_ISODAYWEEKYEAR])-1))

 

c) I've created the final Measure 

 

MEASURE_X_PREVIOUS_YEAR :=SUMX (VALUES(DATE[DT_ISODAYWEEKYEAR]) ;[MEASURE_A_PREVIOUS_YEAR_TMP])

 

This Measure works great both in day calculation and in the aggregation.

Now I'm trying to create another MEASURE_Y_PREVIOUS_YEAR to calculate the number of the distincount of product sold in the previous YEAR (always working with weeks).

 

The MEASURE_Y is defined as :

 

MEASURE_Y:=DISTINCTCOUNT('TABLE_Y'[PRODUCT_ID])

 

I cannot use the same approach I've used with the MEASURE_X because it works for the single day, but in aggragation it gives the SUM of the distinctcount of the day. 

I need calculate the distinctcount of PRODUCT_ID  for the TABLE_Y filtered by DATE[DT_ISODAYWEEKYEAR] -1 

 

like in this example

2 2 (A,B)
3 1 (B)
4 1 (A)
5 3 (A,B,C)
6 1 (B)
7 1 (C)

 

 

Sorry for my English and sorry for the long post,
I hope I made myself clear.

 

Someone can help me ?

 

Best,

Marco

Create a new column in the Date table using:

YearWeek = Date[Year] *100 + Date[WeekNumber]

Then create the equivalent measure to:

PY week sales =
VAR _Date =
    MAX ( 'Calendar Table'[Date] )
VAR WeekNum =
    WEEKNUM ( _Date )
VAR PYWeek =
    ( MAX ( 'Calendar Table'[Year] ) - 1 ) * 100 + WeekNum
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        [MEASURE_Y],
        FILTER ( ALL ( 'Calendar Table' ), 'Calendar Table'[YearWeek] = PYWeek )
    )

Hi Paul, 

Thanks for the answer. I've tried to implement your solution, but it works great only for week aggregation and not for day values,
Example :

Day Week               MisureY          MisureY_PY

The values of days of the week  are the same of the aggragation

Try changing the measure to:

PY week sales =
VAR _Date =
    MAX ( 'Calendar Table'[Date] )
VAR WeekNum =
    WEEKNUM ( _Date )
VAR PYWeek =
    ( MAX ( 'Calendar Table'[Year] ) - 1 ) * 100 + WeekNum
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        [MEASURE_Y],
        FILTER ( ALL ( 'Calendar Table' [YearWeek] ), 'Calendar Table'[YearWeek] = PYWeek )
    )
