SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR based on Running Days

[vijay273162]

Hi All,

Refer the below Simplified example.

So, I need to go back to PREVIOUS YEAR SAME QUARTER and based on Running day number, need to get the Total Sales value.

If I use SAME PERIODLAST YEAR, it only takes "total sales" for that date, this will not consider the logic of summing Weekend data ith Monday.

Please tell me, how to use Running Day number columns to get previous year "Total sales" data

HI Amit,

Not to compare Weekday of CY with Weekday of PY.

But, to compare, Running days no. of Current year with Running Day no. of Previous year.

Running Day no. is calculated as you said earlier using DAX CODE.

DESC - Running days_Quarter_(Excl_Wknd) =

COUNTROWS(

FILTER(

ADDCOLUMNS(CALENDAR(Period[Date],Period[End date of Quarter]),

"WorkDay", if(WEEKDAY([Date],2) <6,1,0)),

[WorkDay] =1)

)

)

So, it will exlcude Weekends while counting running days in Quarter.

Hi @vijay273162 ,

I can see "PY" and "CY" in your screenshot, are they from same table or from two different tables. I know they have the same format. If they are from two tables, I suggest you to combine them into one table in Power Query Editor.

For reference: Append queries

Could you share a sample file with me and show me the result you want? This will make it easier for me to find the solution.

@vijay273162 , Not very clear, Do you want to compare Week day of this with same weeikday last year ?

that will like

week Year behind Sales = CALCULATE(SUM(Sales[Sales Amount]),dateadd('Date'[Date],-364,DAY))

Or do want work across work days
