Trying to achieve the PanelSoldMonths rate using PanelSoldDays and DateDaysInMonth. However, I am getting a return of nulls when doing this simple division.
PanelSoldMonths = PanelSoldDays / DateDaysInMonth
WITH MEMBER [Measures].PanelSoldMonths AS
IIF ([In Charge Date].[In Charge Date Days in Month]= 0, NULL,
([Measures].[Panel Sold Days] / [In Charge Date].[In Charge Date Days in Month].Children))
SELECT
{[Measures].[Total Net Net Revenue], [Measures].[Panel Sold Days], [Measures].PanelSoldMonths}
ON COLUMNS,
NON EMPTY
([In Charge Date].[In Charge Year].Children, [In Charge Date].[In Charge Date Days in Month].Children)
ON ROWS
FROM [Combined Sales]
WHERE [Asset Info].[Format Group L2].&[Digital]
Replace
[In Charge Date].[In Charge Date Days in Month]= 0
with
[In Charge Date].[In Charge Date Days in Month].currentmember.Properties ("Member_Value",TYPED)=0

everyone:
I am trying to compare two dates, but they are given in two different formats:
[Open Date] given YYYY-MM-DD
[Monthly Fee Year] given in YYYY as int
[Monthly Fee Month] given in MM as int
I need to add the Day from Open Date to Monthly Fee. I just found out about DATEFROMPARTS, so I tried this:
SELECT [OPEN DATE]
,[Monthly Fee Year]
,[Monthly Fee Month]
,DATEFROMPARTS([Monthly Fee Year], [Monthly Fee Month], DAY([OPEN DATE]))
FROM [#temptable]
I know that the parameters for DATEFROMPARTS should all be int, and I believe all the parameters I put in are int, but I got this error even after I use CAST():
"Cannot construct data type date, some of the arguments have values which are not valid."
Here is some sample data:
OPEN DATE Monthly Fee Year Monthly Fee Month
2021-06-08 2021 8
2019-12-17 2020 3
2019-05-30 2020 3
2020-10-08 2021 2
2021-05-28 2022 3
And I want to add a column with:
Monthly Fee Date
2021-08-08
2020-03-17
2020-03-30
2021-02-08
2022-03-28
UPDATE: It turns out that Monthly Fee Year and Monthly Fee Month are nvarchar, so I tried to CAST or CONVERT them as int:
,DATEFROMPARTS(CAST([Monthly Fee Year] AS int), (CAST([Monthly Fee Month] AS int), DAY([OPEN DATE]))
,DATEFROMPARTS(CONVERT(int, [Monthly Fee Year]), CONVERT(int, [Monthly Fee Month]), DAY([OPEN DATE])
But I still get the same error.
What am I missing?
Thank you.
Your sample data is fine, which is throwing us off. DATEFROMPARTS() will also implicitly convert your NVARCHAR types to INT, so that's not your issue. Your problem is likely that you are trying to create invalid dates. For example, if the Open Date is 2021-05-31 and the Monthly Fee Year is 2021 and the Monthly Fee Month is 9, you are trying to create a date of '2021-09-31', which isn't valid.
You'll need to come up with some logic or a rule to deal with dates like that.
Edit:
If you get the first of the month for each date you are trying to build and find out how many months away from the Open Date that is, you can add that many months to Open Date and get what you are trying to accomplish, but the invalid dates would be handled properly.
, DATEADD(MONTH, DATEDIFF(MONTH, [Open Date], DATEFROMPARTS([Monthly Fee Year], [Monthly Fee Month], 1)), [Open Date])
This should work, not very elegant but will stop it from trying to create invalid dates:
IIF(DAY(EOMONTH(DATEFROMPARTS([Monthly Fee Year], [Monthly Fee Month], 1))) < DAY([OPEN DATE]),DATEFROMPARTS([Monthly Fee Year], [Monthly Fee Month],DAY(EOMONTH(DATEFROMPARTS([Monthly Fee Year], [Monthly Fee Month],1)))),DATEFROMPARTS([Monthly Fee Year], [Monthly Fee Month], DAY([OPEN DATE])))
First check if the last day in the month is less than the day of the open date
If it is then use the last day in month as the day
If not then use the day of the Open Date
How can I go around to amending this MDX query
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[PanelSoldMonthsPre]
AS ' [In Charge Date].[In Charge Date Days in Month].CURRENTMEMBER.membervalue'
MEMBER [Measures].PanelSoldMonths
AS [Measures].[Panel Sold Days] / [Measures].[PanelSoldMonthsPre]
SELECT
[Measures].[Panel Sold Days], [Measures].PanelSoldMonths} ON COLUMNS,
NON EMPTY
([In Charge Date].[In Charge Year].Children, [In Charge Date].[In Charge Date Days in Month].Children) ON ROWS
FROM [Cube]
to..
a) bring back Year Month and corresponding number of days in month. At the moment its returning just the unique [In Charge Date Days In Months].
I want it to return the [In Charge Date Days In Months] for all 12 months for each [In Charge Date].[In Charge Year]
b) placing it as an expression in the calculations (calculated measures) section of the cube project. I decided to create them as 2 separate members. Clearly does not work since I get a return of [Measures].[PanelSoldMonthsPre] '#VALUE!' on the cube (excel workbook)
I think maybe the way I'm asking this question is making it unclear. Here is another attempt:
I am trying to create a measure that counts the number of months it takes to reach an ending accounts receivable balance. As an example, I start with a measure that calculates an ending AR balance which is a calculation of values from different columns and tables and must look at every AR transaction regardless of date (that measure is already available.) What I now need to do is figure out how many months, counting backwards and including any fractional amount, starting with the most recent month (either selected or today's date) it takes to accumulate fees that add up to the ending ar balance. As an example, assuming we're looking at an AR balance at the end of 2016 $1,000:
Ending December AR Balance $1,000
December Fees: $200
November Fees: $300
October Fees: $400
September: $300
Using these values, the Months outstanding would be 3.33 (200 + 300 + 400 + (100/300).)
-- Original Question --
I'm trying to create a measure in DAX that calculates a Months Outstanding value. Essentially, the months outstanding calculation takes the final accounts receivable for an individual and counts back each month that it took to get to that value. As an example, if the final AR balance is $100 and each prior month had AR billings of $25 each month, the months outstanding would be 4 months.
I have come up with something that I believe is a start, but probably isn't even close:
Months Outstanding:=
VAR TotalBalance = [Ending Balance]
RETURN
CALCULATE(
DISTINCTCOUNT('Date'[Month]),
FILTER(
ALL('Date'[Month]),
[WIP Billings] + [AR Billings] < TotalBalance
)
)
In the above example, I'm trying to count the number of months it takes before the sum of WIP Billings and AR Billings exceeds TotalBalance (WIP and AR Billings are simply measures that are the sum of their respective columns.)
Thanks,
Eric
Edit
Here is the calculation for Ending Balance. The fact tables (Billing, Disbursement, Time, BilledDisbursement, BilledFee, MatterCredit) have references to Date, Matters, Clients, and Personnel
WIP Balance:=
ROUND(SUM(Disbursement[ToBillAmount])
+SUM('Time'[ToBillAmount])
-SUM(BilledDisbursement[ToBillAmount])
-SUM('BilledFee'[ToBillAmount])
-SUM('Matter Credit'[WIPBallance]), 2)
End WIP Balance:=
CALCULATE(
[WIP Balance],
FILTER(
ALL('Date'[Period]),
'Date'[Period] <= MAX('Date'[Period])
)
)
Ending AR Balance:=
CALCULATE(
SUM(Billing[ARAmount]),
FILTER(
ALL('Date'[Period]),
'Date'[Period] <= MAX('Date'[Period])
)
)
Ending Balance:= [Ending AR Balance] + [End WIP Balance]
I have spent a lot of time solving this issue, but no success yet.
I have a Date dimension called [Dim Date] and in this table I have a [Date Key] which contains all the dates from '2013-07-01' to '2016-12-31'. I also have a measure called [Retail Revenue] which is a decimal number for that date. So far so easy!
We are a retail Calendar and all our calculations/comparisons are based on a retail calendar (which is a customized table in DW).
The date hierarchy in this calendar is as below (please see the screenshot):
-- retail year (e.g. 2017)
---- retail half year (e.g. 2017-H1)
------ retail quarter year (e.g. 2017-Q1)
-------- retail month (e.g. 201702) (months from 201701 to 201712)
---------- retail week (e.g. 201708) (weeks from 201701 to 201752)
------------ date key (e.g. 2016-08-22)
SCREENSHOT
We also have an attribute called "Retail Last Year Date" which shows the equivalent date of last calendar date (e.g. 2015-08-24 in the screenshot).
I need to have a calculated member showing the "Retail Revenue" for last year (based on the attribute "Retail Last Year Date"), next to the regular "Retail Revenue" for [date key].
I tried to use ParallelPeriod and Scope, and could not get the numbers properly. Probably an easy task but I am not a hero in mdx unfortunately!
Will be more than thankful if anyone please can help me out with this.
Thanks
Rez
Hopefully this helps.
This is against AdvWrks. I've created a query scoped custom measure that gets the internet sales from the year before:
WITH
MEMBER [Measures].[Internet Sales Amount LastYear] AS
(
ParallelPeriod
(
[Date].[Calendar].[Calendar Year]
,1
,[Date].[Calendar].CurrentMember
)
,[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]
)
SELECT
{
[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]
,[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount LastYear]
} ON 0
,
[Date].[Calendar].[Date].&[20070121]
:
[Date].[Calendar].[Date].&[20070127] ON 1
FROM [Adventure Works];
Here are the results:
Thanks for your response, but I didn't get how it uses the dimension property? because my calendar is customized and I cannot assume the last year calendar date is the same as this year. I have to read it from the dimension property "Retail Last Year Date").
Thanks
We want to show current periods sales versus previous period sales.
To show the previous period we make use of a date dimenion table and the following calculation:
CALCULATE(SalesValueGross; DATEADD(Date[Date]; -1; YEAR))
Unfortunately somehow it shows minor (decimal) differences when comparing years.
The difference get's bigger when we slice to months.
Another issue we have is that this calculation does not seem to work when comparing (for example) week 1 - 2015 with week 1 - 2014.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
When I want to get prior calendar year sales, I use the a formula such as the following:
Cal Prior Yr Sales:=if(HASONEVALUE('Sale Date'[Calendar Year]),
Calculate([Total Sales],
PREVIOUSYEAR('Sale Date'[Date])),BLANK())
The HASONEVALUE just ensures that there is only one year selected so it will know the correct previous year to retrieve.
You can make a series of calculations that will let you use one calc that determines what level of the date hierarchy you are in (assuming you have the fields available in your date table). Here is something I've used in the past, with a fiscal calendar that was different from the normal calendar.
First, the base calculations:
Sales Same Week Prior Year:=
CALCULATE([Total Sales],Filter(All('Sale Date'),
'Sale Date'[Week Key] = max('Sale Date'[Same Week Last Year])))
Sales Same Month Prior Year:=CALCULATE([Total Sales], Filter(All('Sale Date'),
'Sale Date'[Month Seq] = max('Sale Date'[Month Seq])-12))
Sales Same Quarter Prior Year:=CALCULATE([Total Sales], Filter(All('Sale Date'),
'Sale Date'[Quarter Seq] = max('Sale Date'[Quarter Seq])-4))
Sales Prior Year:=CALCULATE([Total Sales], Filter(All('Sale Date'),
'Sale Date'[Fiscal Year] = max('Sale Date'[Fiscal Year])-1))
You can hide all of those calculations and then create one last calculation and leave it visible:
Sales Same Period Last Year:=
if(HASONEVALUE('Sale Date'[Week Key]), [Sales Same Week Prior Year],
if(HASONEVALUE('Sale Date'[Month Key]),[Sales Same Month Prior Year],
if(HASONEVALUE('Sale Date'[Quarter Key]),[Sales Same Quarter Prior Year],
if(HASONEVALUE('Sale Date'[Fiscal Year]), [Sales Prior Year], BLANK()))))
You may need to add a couple of calculated fields to your date table to make it work. I have fields for: [Same Week Last Year], [Month Seq], [Quarter Seq]. Same week last year is an integer field that is yyyyww. Month Seq and Quarter Seq are just autoincrementing integers in chronological order that do not repeat.
My formula for same week last year is
=if('Sale Date'[Week Nbr] = 53, (('Sale Date'[Fiscal Year]-1) * 100) + ([Week Nbr]-1),
(('Sale Date'[Fiscal Year]-1) * 100) + ([Week Nbr]))
I did the sequence numbers in my SQL view, which is the source for the date date. As an example, if my date table starts at 1/1/2010, the month seq for Jan 2010 is 1 and the month seq for Jan 2011 is 13. The quarter seq for Q1 2010 is 1 and the quarter seq for Q1 2012 is 9.
