I have two main tables; calendar and transactions. I'm trying to SUM the transactions for each Year, Term, and Week for each store in separate queries. However, I'm also trying to return the previous year's Sum for each Year/Term/Week, but the calendar we use is an accounting calendar that shifts dates YoY.
My question is, how do I return the SUM for the previous Year's period of aggregation in the same line?
To put in another way - I am trying to take window periods of dates, and then sum the transactions for each window period, but the window periods are for previous periods of aggregation and then get those to return in the same line.

I am trying to create a calculation measure to compare revenue from one date to last year's equivalent date.
I have this "last year's equivalent date" stored in my date dimension.
So for example, my fact table of DailySummary has a measure of TotalRevenue and it is granular by date. If I wanted to show today's revenue (12/06/2019), the equivalent date from last year that is stored in the Date dimension would be 12/07/2018. I would want to show both those day's revenue side by side. I would then create other measures, like growth.
I am sure it is obvious, but if it helps, the DailySummary fact and the Date dimension are joined by the date, so today's date, not the last year equivalent.
Let me know if this doesn't make sense or if you need more information.
I think that you will need to use the PreviousPeriod MDX function.
I have a Month Column with the Month Field populated for each line for the 100K of lines of data I have.
I need to count the amount of times the Month Field is populated in the Previous Month (Period).
I also need to count the total amount of times the Month Field is populated in the Previous 11 months as well.
This is a rolling count for each months reporting that I do..
table name: 'ws pds' and field name [Month Tagged]
You can utilize the powerful time intelligence functions in DAX such as PARRALLELPERIOD to look at values from previous months. But in order to make use of these functions you need to create a calendar/date entity. Mark that entity as a Date table. And join to it by date from your "ws pds" table. The Date dimension should span the timeframe of your date with a continuous list of dates, one row per day.
Then your measure could look like this:
PreviousMonthCount=
CALCULATE (
COUNTROWS ( 'ws pds' ),
'ws pds'[Month Tagged] <> BLANK (),
PARALLELPERIOD ( Calendar[Date], -1, MONTH )
)
I'm trying to create a query that can return the previous quarter balance for a series of records.
I have financial data for accountid (acctid), fiscal year (fyear), fiscal quarter (fquarter) and fiscal period (fperiod) that I'm summing and tracking through a series of other queries that I'm dropping in to a temporary table, that data includes the net change for the period (nperiod), net change for the quarter (nquarter) and net change for the year (nyear). Net change for the period is only the account transactions in the period, net change for the quarter is the cumulative total of the transactions that appear in periods 1-3, 4-6, 7-9 and 10-12 respectively (amount from previous periods are not calculated in proceeding quarters, ie the net change for the quarter resets to $0 for periods 4, 7 and 9) and the net change for the year is the total cumulative sum. I'm now trying to create a sql statement that returns the previous quarter end balance.
So for periods 1-3 I need to write a separate select statements to return the ending balance for the previous year, for periods 4-6 I want them ALL to return the net change for the quarter from period 3, for 7-9 I want to return the net change for the quarter from period 6 for all records and for period 10-12 I want to return net change for the quarter from period 9.
Can I get some assistance because I have a gigantic query that returns the max period per quarter, then the nquarter amount associated with that period and then trying to do a where exists, but something tells me there's a better way to do it.
Thanks!
I want to summarize sql query result week wise and month wise at the same time in a grid view. Is this even possible or I am just dreaming?
Requirement:
Show last one month data and next two month's data week wise in the grid.
Example-
If the current month is September then I want to show data from 1st August to 31st October categorized in weeks.
Show the data after the next month of current month in month wise view in the same grid.
Example-
data for month November and December will be shown categorized in month not in weeks.
grid or result should look something like below -
Please suggest something to achieve this
If you want a maintainable solution, use two independent queries, one for weekly aggregation other for monthly. Depending on the input run corresponding query.
I think you must work with group by or group by ... cube
SELECT x , y from <tabel> GROUP BY date_feld( to_char( 'MM' ))
but i don't now your DBMS so i can't give you a exact example for the date handling.
Working on an SSAS Tabular project in Visual Studio 2010;
I'm trying to create a measure that calculates the total number of business days in a month:
I have Month Start Date and Month End Date measures, and Date and Is Business Day columns.
I can create a Total Business Days measure with COUNTROWS(FILTER(Dates,Dates[Is Business Day]=TRUE())). That gives me the number of business days in the context, but I want the number of business days for the current month.
I've tried various combinations of FILTER, COUNT, COUNTX, COUNTROWS, DATESBETWEEN, and CALCULATE without success.
What I want is a count of days between two dates, where the column [Is Business Day] is true, but I can't seem to get the right combination of filtering.
I would guess I filter the Dates table the way I do for the Total Business Days measure, but FILTER returns a table and COUNTROWS expects a single column - is there a way to get single column from a FILTER result?
Here's one thought...
First, create a calculated column called MonthKey (if you don't have it already):
=YEAR([Date]) * 100 + MONTH([Date])
Then create another calculated column called IsCurrentMonth
=IF(YEAR(TODAY()) * 100 + MONTH(TODAY()) = [MonthKey], 1, 0)
Then you can create your calculated measure as
COUNTROWS(FILTER(Dates,Dates[IsCurrentMonth] = 1))
Would that do what you need?
