Hi,
I'm using a dateadd function that calculates the previous period's value using a separate date table.
It was brought to my attention by a user that the values for 2020 are not correct. I figured out its because I'm using the following expression which doesn't work with leap years:
Calculate([some measure],DATEADD('Date'[Date],-365,DAY))
This works perfectly except when it's a leap year.
In order to fix this I tried the following:
Calculate([some measure],DATEADD('Date'[Date],-1,YEAR))
For some reason it is includes the values for the whole month of August last year instead of only taking into account the 9 days that we have so far this month. The date table I'm using is continuous (no gaps) and includes all the dates.
Could someone please explain what I am doing wrong?
Many thanks,
Chris
@stxreporting , That will happen if you use month year in visual, in that case it is getting complete month dates
Try like
forced=
var _max = date(year(today())-1,month(today()),day(today()))
return
if(max('Date'[Date])<=_max, Calculate([some measure],DATEADD('Date'[Date],-1,YEAR)), blank())
//or
//calculate(Calculate([some measure],DATEADD('Date'[Date],-1,YEAR)),filter('Date','Date'[Date]<=_max))
Hi,
I do not have month year in my visual, just the measures for current year and for passed year (the one I sent above). I don't see how the solution you proposed will return anything other than blank(), since the max('date'[date]') will by definition always be bigger than _max right?
Could you please elaborate?
Thanks,
Chris
Hi, @stxreporting
Please try formula like:
Result=
Calculate([some measure],DATEADD('Date'[Date],-1,YEAR),'Table'[Monthnumber]<currentYearMaxMonth)
or apply a filter measure to table visual filter pane.

Hi @v-easonf-msft,
thanks for your reply but this doesn't seem to change anything?
Could you please elaborate what this part of your solution does?
'Table'[Monthnumber]<currentYearMaxMonth
how I see it that would still not be able to retrieve the days passed this month so far?
Please let me know,
Chris
