Previous Row Value Dax

Hello Everyone,

 

I need to get previous row value and need help. I have a calculated measure like that;

 

RunningSum=

CALCULATE(

SUM( 'TABLE'[sales] ),

FILTER(

ALLSELECTED('TABLE'),

'TABLE'[date]<=MAX('TABLE'[date])

))

 

And I'm trying to create a calculated column as below but its not working.

 

VAR locations= 'TABLE'[store]

VAR dates= 'TABLE'[date]

return

CALCULATE(

MAX(RunningSum),

FILTER('TABLE',

'TABLE'[store]=locations && 'TABLE'[date]< dates

))

 

Appreciate your help.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Thanks for your provided details. Since Dax is calculated based on column value not row value, the last row in your picture cannot achieved if there is no continued date after 2020/1/31 because it add a new row in your dataset.

Basically the previous row measure will be like this:

Previous row value =
CALCULATE (
    [RunningSum],
    FILTER (
        ALL ( 'Table' ),
        'Table'[Date]
            = CALCULATE (
                MAX ( 'Table'[Date] ),
                FILTER ( ALL ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[Date] < SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Date] ) )
            )
    )
)

You will get the result in the table visual:

Hi @Anonymous ,

Based on your first measure, you are trying to calculate a cumulative value which should get the previous row value.

You can try to create this calculated column:

Column = 
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( 'Table'[sales] ),
    FILTER (
        ALL ( 'Table' ),
        'Table'[store] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[store] )
            && 'Table'[date] <= EARLIER ( 'Table'[date] )
    )
)

@Anonymous , power bi do not support the previous row. So based on data we need to calculate. like you need till the previous date

 

Try with date table

 

RunningSum= // current
CALCULATE(
SUM( 'TABLE'[sales] ),
FILTER(
ALLSELECTED('Date'),
'Date'[date]<=MAX('Date'[date])
))


previous RunningSum= //previous
CALCULATE(
SUM( 'TABLE'[sales] ),
FILTER(
ALLSELECTED('Date'),
'Date'[date]<MAX('Date'[date])
))
