Hello,
I am having what I think is a context issue. I am basically trying to use the year from a datetime dimension table in a slicer and use the selected year to filter data in another table. I created the following measure to capture the year selected:
Year Selected =
IF (
ISFILTERED ( '_Date Time Slicer'[Year] ),
IF( HASONEVALUE ( '_Date Time Slicer'[Year] ), LASTNONBLANK( '_Date Time Slicer'[Year], 0), YEAR(NOW())),
YEAR(NOW())
)
I have used cards to verify the above logic is working when selecting different years. Since it wasn’t working initially, I created a measure in the ‘Directs’ table referencing the measure defined above as follows:
_Year Selected = '_Date Time Slicer'[Year Selected]
I know measures aren’t necessarily specific to a table, but I thought I would try it anyway.
Finally, the goal is to use the year selected from the slicer to drive the date range logic below, which is a calculated column.
Jan DCC Budget =
IF(Directs[Effective].[Date] <= DATE(Directs[_Year Selected], 1, 5) &&
Directs[Expiration].[Date] >= DATE(Directs[_Year Selected], 1, 5), Directs[Cost], 0)
I am currently only using previous and current years 2017 and 2018. For the above example, the Directs[Cost] sum does not change, it is always the amount for 2018, even when selecting 2017.
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Solved! Go to Solution.
This following appears to be working:
Jan DCC Budget as Measure =
CALCULATE(SUM(Directs[Cost]),
FILTER(Directs, Directs[Effective] <= DATE(Directs[_Year Selected], 1, 5) && Directs[Expiration] >= DATE(Directs[_Year Selected], 1, 5)))
The following should be measure, you should use aggregation with cost
Jan DCC Budget as Measure = IF(Directs[Effective].[Date] <= DATE(Directs[_Year Selected], 1, 5) && Directs[Expiration].[Date] >= DATE(Directs[_Year Selected], 1, 5), SUM(Directs[Cost]), 0)

@parry2k, thank you for the quick response, but unfortunately your suggestion doesn't work.
Directs[Effective].[Date] and Directs[Expiration].[Date] are Directs columns, not measures, so they are not valid for use in a measure. These are both red underlined.
I will try and see if using CALCULATE will work.
I tried the following:
Jan DCC Budget as Measure =
CALCULATE(SUM(Directs[Cost]), Directs[Effective] <= DATE(Directs[_Year Selected], 1, 5), Directs[Expiration] >= DATE(Directs[_Year Selected], 1, 5))
The above with the follwoing error.
A function 'CALCULATE' has been used in a True/False expression that is used as a table filter expression. This is not allowed.
This following appears to be working:
Jan DCC Budget as Measure =
CALCULATE(SUM(Directs[Cost]),
FILTER(Directs, Directs[Effective] <= DATE(Directs[_Year Selected], 1, 5) && Directs[Expiration] >= DATE(Directs[_Year Selected], 1, 5)))
Sweet, good for you. There you go!!
