Current Month or Current Year or Current Day as a Default Selection

Current Month or Current Year or Current Day as a Default Selection

To allow users to always select the current month, year, or day, follow the instructions

Dax Example

CurrentMonth = IF( 'Calendar Table'[Month] = FORMAT(TODAY(), "mmm"), "CurrentMonth", 'Calendar Table'[Month] )


For the year, simply replace the "Month" column with the "Year" column, and similarly for the day or week, follow the same process.

Step-by-Step Guide to Using TOPN in Power BI for Dynamic Data Analysis

  DAX Function: TOPN with CALCULATE The TOPN function is one of the most powerful DAX functions for ranking and filtering data in Power BI. Combined with CALCULATE, it can be used to create dynamic, insightful measures. Below is an example of how to use TOPN with CALCULATE to find the top N items based on a certain criterion. Scenario Suppose you have a sales dataset and you want to calculate the total sales of the top 5 products by revenue. This measure will dynamically adjust based on any filters applied in your report (e.g., date, region, etc.). Function Syntax TOPN(<N_value>, <Table>, <OrderBy_Expression>[, <Order>[, <OrderBy_Expression> [, <Order>]]…]) <N_value>: The number of top rows to return. <Table>: The table to evaluate. <OrderBy_Expression>: The expression to order by. <Order>: Optional. Specifies the order direction (ASC for ascending, DESC for descending). Default...

CONTAINSTRING DAX

Exploring the CONTAINSSTRING Function in DAX Understanding the CONTAINSSTRING Function At its core, the CONTAINSSTRING function enables users to determine whether a specific substring exists within a given text string. This function returns a Boolean value, TRUE if the substring is found, and FALSE if it is not. Here's the basic syntax of the CONTAINSSTRING function: CONTAINSSTRING(<text>, <substring>) <text>: The text string within which you want to search. <substring>: The substring you're searching for within the text. Practical Example: Using CONTAINSSTRING in DAX Let's delve into a practical example to grasp how the CONTAINSSTRING function works within the context of DAX. Suppose we have a dataset containing product information, including a column named ProductName. We're interested in identifying which product names contain the word "apple". We can achieve this by creating a calculated column using the CONTAINSSTRING functi...

Calculate Sales for Last Year Month to date

Sameperiodlastyear till to date based on selection in year and month selection Problem:  If the current year and month are selected, sales data from the same period of the previous year up to the current date is needed. For instance, if it's March 2024, you'd require sales data from March 2023 up to today's date. If the selection is for a different year and month, such as January 2023, you need the entire sales data for January 2022. Solution:  For this scenario you need to create Three Dax Measures Measure 1 = (This measure is to calculate current month sales till the date) CALCULATE( SUM(CST[Total Financed Amount]), SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR( DATESYTD('Calendar Table'[Date]) ), FILTER( ALL('Calendar Table'), 'Calendar Table'[MonthNum] = MONTH(NOW()) && DAY('Calendar Table'[Date]) <= DAY(NOW()) ) ) Explanation: CALCULATE : This is a DAX function used to modify or filter the context for a calculation. It can apply additional filters to a ...
