Hi,
i try to calculate a sum with values between today and today -1 year.
following syntax doesn't work:
Sum = Calculate(sum(table[value]);table[date]>= dateadd(today();-1;year))
Can't use today() function in time functions like dateadd or datesinperiod
hope someone could help.
You can use something like this:
DATE(YEAR(TODAY())-1; MONTH(TODAY()); DAY(TODAY()))
Time intelligence functions work on a date field in a date dimension. They do not work on scalar date values.
That being said, you can do simple arithmetic on dates:
RollingYearMeasure = CALCULATE( SUM( FactStupid[Amount] ) ;DimDate[Date] >= TODAY() - 365 )
Hi,
yes that works but it isn't a completly correct solution. The count of days switch between 364 to 365 days in addiction of a "normal" year and a leap year.
That depends entirely on your calendar. If this is a concern for you, I'd set up a field in my date dimension that indicates today, say TodayFlag:
// Power Query TodayFlag = [Date] = DateTime.Date( DateTime.LocalNow() )
This will run as part of your queries every time the model is refreshed. So long as you refresh >=1 / day, it'll be up to date with your data.
In your report you can filter to TodayFlag = True - this will always filter to today's value. Then your measures can take advantage of SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR():
SamePeriodLastYear = CALCULATE( <expression> ,SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR( DimDate[Date] ) )
