DATESBETWEEN:

Returns a table that contains dates that are between two specified dates.

SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR:

Returns a table that contains all the dates from the same period in the previous year.

Example: Sales Last Year = CALCULATE(SUM('Sales'[Amount]), SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR('Date'[Date]))


DATESINPERIOD:

Returns a table that contains dates within a given time period.

Example: Sales Last 3 Months = CALCULATE(SUM('Sales'[Amount]), DATESINPERIOD('Date'[Date], TODAY(), -3, MONTH))


FIRSTDATE:

Returns the first date in the current context.

Example: First Sale Date = FIRSTDATE('Sales'[SaleDate])


LASTDATE:

Returns the last date in the current context.

Example: Last Sale Date = LASTDATE('Sales'[SaleDate])


PREVIOUSYEAR:

Returns a table that contains all dates from the previous year.

Example: Sales Previous Year = CALCULATE(SUM('Sales'[Amount]), PREVIOUSYEAR('Date'[Date]))


PREVIOUSMONTH:

Returns a table that contains all dates from the previous month.

Example: Sales Previous Month = CALCULATE(SUM('Sales'[Amount]), PREVIOUSMONTH('Date'[Date]))


NEXTDAY:

Returns the date that is the specified number of days after the current context date.

Example: Next Sale Day = NEXTDAY('Sales'[SaleDate])


NEXTMONTH:

Returns the date that is the specified number of months after the current context date.

Example: Next Sale Month = NEXTMONTH('Sales'[SaleDate])


NEXTQUARTER:

Returns the date that is the specified number of quarters after the current context date.

Example: Next Sale Quarter = NEXTQUARTER('Sales'[SaleDate])


NEXTYEAR:

Returns the date that is the specified number of years after the current context date.

Example: Next Sale Year = NEXTYEAR('Sales'[SaleDate])


PARALLELPERIOD:

Returns a table that contains a parallel set of dates shifted a number of intervals before or after the dates in the specified dates column.

Example: Parallel Period = CALCULATE(SUM('Sales'[Amount]), PARALLELPERIOD('Date'[Date], -1, YEAR))


LASTNONBLANK:

Returns the last value from the column that is not blank.

Example: Last Non-Blank Amount = LASTNONBLANK('Sales'[Amount], 'Sales'[SaleDate])


CLOSINGBALANCEMONTH:

Returns the closing balance for the month that contains the last value in the column, using the specified dates column to group values.

Example: Closing Balance Month = CLOSINGBALANCEMONTH('Sales'[Amount], 'Sales'[SaleDate])


CLOSINGBALANCEQUARTER:

Returns the closing balance for the quarter that contains the last value in the column, using the specified dates column to group values.

Example: Closing Balance Quarter = CLOSINGBALANCEQUARTER('Sales'[Amount], 'Sales'[SaleDate])


CLOSINGBALANCEYEAR:

Returns the closing balance for the year that contains the last value in the column, using the specified dates column to group values.

Example: Closing Balance Year = CLOSINGBALANCEYEAR('Sales'[Amount], 'Sales'[SaleDate])


These time intelligence functions are used for various calculations and analysis of time-based data in Power BI reports and dashboards.

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 ...

Solving the issue of "The UseRelationship() and CrossFilter() function may not be used when querying 'Table' because it is constrained by row-level security."

 Solving the issue of "The UseRelationship() and CrossFilter() function may not be used when querying 'Table' because it is constrained by row-level security." Error Statement, Problem, and Solution: Error Statement: The error faced in the original scenario was related to the usage of USERELATIONSHIP function within row-level security constraints, leading to the error "The UseRelationship() and CrossFilter() function may not be used when querying 'Table' because it is constrained by row-level security." Problem: The error prevented the usage of USERELATIONSHIP within row-level security constraints, impacting the ability to establish relationships between tables for filtering purposes in certain contexts. Solution: To overcome the error and achieve the desired filtering based on dates without relying on USERELATIONSHIP, the DAX expression utilizes the TREATAS function along with ALL('Date'). This approach establishes a virtual relationship ...
