In Power BI, in some specific contexts I wish I could make a report using trend chart showing values over 12 months, from jan to dec and comparing the trend of more years at the same time.
However, it’s impossible sort data by two helper column (monthsort) as there are more distinct values in the sort column than the result column.
The solution is very easy: Continua a leggere
I’ve blogged a few times now about how to monitor Power BI query execution times, most recently here, and while using functions like DateTime.FixedLocalNow() is all very well I’ve never been happy with the fact that you have to alter your queries in order to be able to time them. Using the Power BI trace logs always seemed a much better option – and since the log files are in a reasonably easy to understand text format, you can use a Power BI query to load data from them.

[YTD Sales] = CALCULATE([Total Sales], DATESYTD(Calendar[Date]))
Back to the point of this post: it turns out that you can “nest” a DATESYTD inside of a DATEADD!
Try this:
[Prev Yr YTD Sales] = CALCULATE([Total Sales], DATEADD(DATESYTD(Calendar[Date]),-1,Year))
We have two requirement:
