Values for Corresponding previous period and current period when using a date range

‎07-18-2017 10:35 PM

Hi Experts,

 

I'm using a date slicer with the display option "Between" so that I can select a date range. I need two columns in a single table for current period and corresponding previous period (e.g. May-17 Vs May-16). So when I select a date range which could be a week, a month, a Qtr or an year, the two columns should show values for the selected periods both current and corresponding previous.

 

I tried with functions such as DATEADD ( counts a full year), PREVIOUSYEAR (counts a full year), SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR (not working for date slicer with a renage), PARALLELPERIOD (again count full year or month ). But still my requirement is not met.

 

Any help please....

 

Thanks

Senarath

Hi @Senarath

 

No problem, Variables are something that is fairly new.

 

Here is a sample below, please note that I have created a Date Table to use the DateAdd Function. You can find my blog post here on how to create and map a Date table: https://www.fourmoo.com/2016/09/13/power-bi-how-to-easily-create-dynamic-date-tabledimension-with-fi...

 

Date Range Back Same Period = 
VAR MinDate = MIN('Date'[Date])
VAR MaxDate = MAX('Date'[Date])
RETURN
CALCULATE([My Measure],FILTER(ALL('Date'[Date]),DATEADD('Date'[Date],+1,YEAR) >= MinDate
	&& DATEADD('Date'[Date],+1,YEAR) <= MaxDate)
)
