Power Pivot :: LY Sales - Function Throws Error When Selecting Periods In Different Years
May 21, 2015
I have created data model where I'm taking several sources of Point of Sale data (multiple retailers) and combing them using Power Pivot and a custom calendar. We get data retailer direct, which is mostly in weeks, and data from IRI which is in four week buckets. This does not allow me to use the date intelligence DAX functions. I'm brand new to DAX and my experience starts and ends with Excel. (Diagram view and link to file to come after account verification) .
The DAX code for calculating LY Sales is:
=
CALCULATE (
[Sales $],
FILTER (
ALL ( dCalendar ),
dCalendar[IRIYearNumber]
= VALUES ( dCalendar[IRIYearNumber] ) - 1
[Code] ....
The filters are to prevent items not on the item table from showing on the report, and the customer filter is to prevent all the sales being rolled together as and extra line (with blank customer) on the report.
The error happens when I select two periods that are in different years. When I select the 13 periods on 2014 all is well. But when I add a period from 2015 it throws the error below;
ERROR - CALCULATION ABORTED: Calculation error in measure 'dProducts'[LY Sales $]: A table of multiple values was supplied where a single value was expected.

I have a [Fin Period] column which outputs a number between 1 and 12 depending on the financial period. For numbers 0-9 this is output as a single digit. How can I format this so it places a 0 in front of these numbers but not in front of periods 10-12?

I want to calculate the sum of actual sales until a date and forecast sales after a date.I am not sure what the best approach to this problem is, but I have tried my best with the following approach. Any better ways to solve this (using DAX).
I have created a parameter table that offers the last date of each month as possible choices to the user. I have tried to create a measure that sums actual sales up until this date.
SalesQuantityActual:=IF(HASONEVALUE(parLastActualMonth[Date]);CALCULATE(factSalesActual[Quantity];factSalesActual[Date]<=VALUES(parLastActualMonth[Date]));BLANK())
Unfortunately the measure above does not work.
In addition to the parameter table, I also have a normal date table.

Say I have one factSales table with the following columns
[Sales company]
[Item]
[Date]
[Price]
And another table with valid prices per sales company
[Sales company]
[Valid from]
[Valid to]
[Price] (calculated column)
I also have a calendar table. Is it possible to get the valid price from the prices table to the calculated column in the sales table?

This is the formula calculated field formula I have written but when I drag this in the Pivot Table, I get an error message. In the calculated field window, when I click on Check for errors, then there are no errors at all.

I have an inventory table with the following columns
[Item], [Quantity], [Date]
I have a sales table with the following columns
[Item], [Customer], [Quantity], [Date]
In addition to this I have a normal date table.
I want to create a measure that calculates
CurrentInventory:=LastInvenoryCountInTable-SalesQuantitySinceThen
I don't know where to start. Is this possible to do with DAX?

I need to list customers in a table that represents sales over the years.
I have tables:
Customers -> id | name |...
Orders -> id | idCustomer | date | ...
Products -> id | idOrder | unitprice | quantity | ...
I am using this SQL but it only gets one year:
SELECT customers.name , SUM(unitprice*qt) AS total
FROM Products
INNER JOIN Orders ON Orders.id = Products.idOrder
INNER JOIN Customers ON Customers.id = Orders.idCustomer
WHERE year(date)=2014
GROUP BY customers.name
ORDER BY 2 DESC
I need something like this:
customer | total sales 204 | total sales | 2015 | total sales (2014 + 2015)
--------
customer A | 1000$ | 2000$ | 3000$
customer B | 100$ | 100$ | 200$
Is it possible to retrieve these values in a single SQL query for multiple years and grand total?

I am just starting out using CUBEMEMBER/CUBEVALUE formulas in excel linked into a sql olap db - using this method for some custom reports where pivot tables are not suitable.
The time dimension values include Months, Quarters and Years and the CUBEMEMBER formulas like
=CUBEMEMBER("OLAPCUBE","[Time].[Time].[Year].&[2015].&[1].&[1]") work fine - 1st quarter 1st month etc.
Is there a straightforward notation to aggregate months or do I need to use a plus sign to add a number of CUBEMEMBER formulas together.In other words - Is there an easier way of for say jan to july 2015 totals than
=CUBEMEMBER("OLAPCUBE","[Time].[Time].[Year].&[2015].&[1]") + (CUBEMEMBER("OLAPCUBE","[Time].[Time].[Year].&[2015].&[2]")) + (CUBEMEMBER("OLAPCUBE","[Time].[Time].[Year].&[2015].&[3].&[7]"))
I haven't tested this but have assumed it works but a bit long and clumsy.

I have a simple pivot table (screenshot below) that has two variables on it: one for entry year and another for 6 month time intervals. I have very simple DAX functions that count rows to determine the population N (denominator), the number of records in the time intervals (numerator) and the simple percent of those two numbers.
The problem that I am having is that the function for the population N is not overriding the time interval on the pivot table when I use an ALL function to do so. I use ALL in other very simple pivot tables to do the same thing and it works fine.
The formula for all three are below, but the one that is the issue is the population N formula. Why ALL would not work, any other way to override the time period variable on the pivot table.
Population N (denominator):
=CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(analyticJudConsist),ALL(analyticJudConsist[CurrentTimeInCare1]))
Records in time interval (numerator):
=COUNTROWS(analyticJudConsist)
Percent:
=[countrows]/[denominatorCare]

I've imported a number of excel sheets into a Power Query Table. All seems to appear ok until I load the data. Of the 15k rows around 2k have a similar error where it cannot convert an integer to type string as below example
Expression.Error: We cannot convert the value 40 to type Text.
Details:
Value=40
Type=Type
The columns in question are all of integer type, I've looked through the M query and there is no conversion to string taking placeThe values where we don't get the error are also integers hence the intriguing question is why does the error occur on a subset and not the others. I suspect there is a limit to the number of errors also somewhere internally M query is converting the column to text for some reason.

When updating a Power Query Source in Power Pivot, I'm getting the following error message:
Basically saying that OLE DB or ODBC-error occured when:
- Connections have been imported from a different workbook or
- the workbook has been created in a newer Version of Excel
None of which is the case here. What can cause this?

playing with the Power pivot , DAX. While analyzing the DAX ,I came across a function EVALUATE , but when I tried this function in excel Power Pivot workbook - =EVALUATE 'Date' where 'Date' is my one of the Power pivot table , I was writing this function within the Calculation area of the Power Pivot model. I get the below error when I hit enter after writing the function ."The expression is not valid or appears to be incomplete..An MDX expression was expected while a full statement was specified."But in many forums I find the syntax is correct.

I have a DATESMTD function which is not working. This is what is happening, if there is no row data for the month it creates a month to date total similar to the year to date total instead of zero. See below my formula:
MTDSUM:=CALCULATE(SUM('Combined Years Dataset'[Net]),DATESMTD('Combined Years Dataset'[Period2]),'Date'[date])
Period 2 is a column with dates (end of monthdates) in a table called Combined Years Dataset.
So, if I have $200.00 data for Aug and no data for Sept, the system puts in 200.00 as the month to date for Sept instead of zero. What can I do to make the system insert zero in the month to date column instead of the $200.00. What am I doing wrong in the formula.

I created a Switch statement below that surprisingly doesn't throw any errors and some of it actually works. The problem is that the function calls in the 3rd and 4th sections of it below (in bold) are not working.

values('s1JudgeIds'[JudgeName])<>"1 - All Judges" && values('s1Perm1'[Exit])<>"Still in Out-of-Home Care",CALCULATE(count(s1Perm1[entity_id]),FILTER(ALL(Time[ExitMonthCategory]),Time[ExitMonthCategory] <= MAX(Time[ExitMonthCategory]))),
values('s1JudgeIds'[JudgeName])="1 - All Judges" && values('s1Perm1'[Exit])<>"Still in Out-of-Home Care",calculate([Numerator],all('s1JudgeIds'[JudgeName])),
values('s1JudgeIds'[JudgeName])="1 - All Judges" && values('s1Perm1'[Exit])="Still in Out-of-Home Care",calculate([Numerator-stillincare],all('s1JudgeIds'[JudgeName])),

I've encountered an issue where the ALLSELECTED function works fine unless I use a date hierarchy, i.e. year, quarter, month, date, for the rows in a pivot and then use a year slicer, select one or more years individually, and the clear the filter on the slicer. The year(s) that I selected in the slicer remain at 100% in the pivot instead of returning to the subtotals for the unfiltered slicer.
This only occurs when I use a calendar hierarchy for rows and a date field for the slicer, either from the hierarchy or a regular date field.Below are images of the normal behavior and then the result after following the steps above. Can't figure out why the calendar hierarchy is causing the issue since it works for all other time functions, etc., and follows best practices such as contiguous dates, etc.

Your help is greatly appreciated. How do you query each one of the following:
1) SELECT FieldValue WHERE DateTime is from 8:30AM - 12:00PM and 6:00PM - 9:30PM on Mondays thru Fridays (i.e. exclude Sat & Sun) for the whole month of January 2008.
2) SELECT FieldValue WHERE DateTime is from 9:30PM - 8:30AM on Mondays thru Fridays, AND ALL-DAY on Saturdays & Sundays for the whole month of January 2008.
Thank you in advance.

I have several reports in a Power View Gallery. In Gallery view, most of the reports show the "Open New Excel Workbook", the "Create Power View Report", and the "Manage Data Refresh" buttons on the right side of the report list. Why would some reports not have these buttons available? In the attached image you can see one report with the buttons and one without the buttons.

Slow loading issue with an if statement. In the raw data the field [Location] is a text field e.g. 0010. I have a parameterised query that get a Location_Value from Excel and passes it to the PQ query using:
#"Filtered Rows1" = Table.SelectRows(#"Removed Other Columns", each ([SalesMode] = 0) and ([SalesType] = 0) and ([Location] = Location_Value))
This works fine if you chose a single location. However I wanted to be able to select all locations and text is horrible to work with so in PQ I used the change type function to change the location column into whole numbers. I changed excel to also pass a number as Location_Value. I was therefore surprised when the same query took 2.5 times longer to refresh????
My PQ now looks like this
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Removed Other Columns",{{"Location", Int64.Type}}),
#"Filtered Rows1" = Table.SelectRows(#"Changed Type", each ([SalesMode] = 0) and ([SalesType] = 0) and ([Location] = Location_Value))
I'm wondering if I need to do something to the ([Location] = Location_Value) bit as maybe it still thinks [Loation] is text and it is trying to compare it to a number. I st assumed the step above meant that [Location] was now a number, but maybe you still have wrap it with some kind of VALUES or TEXT function?

I have opened an account in [URL] and taken the 60 days trial for power bi pro. I've developed power pivot and generated power views in share point 2013. But, I'm new to Power BI desktop. I have created a report in power BI desktop and published to [URL]. Also, I have uploaded an excel file directly to [URL] and created the report from the workspace available there itself and pinned the report to dashboard also. Everything is fine till this. But, I need to refresh the file which I have uploaded. I have some dummy data in excel sheet.
ZipCode State ZipName
2345 AA AA
456 BB BB
6787 CC CC
This has been created as a table and then added to data model. So, power pivot has been created for the same. Then I have uploaded this file to [URL] site. But, I'm getting an error message while trying to schedule refresh for the same.
"You cannot schedule refresh for this dataset because it does not contain data model connections. You cannot schedule refresh on worksheet connections or linked tables. To schedule refresh the data must be loaded into the data model."
How can I create a data model connection? How can I schedule refresh for an excel file like this?

I'm looking to replace text in a given column given a set of conditions in the other columns. Please see below the M query in the advance editor and in particular the bold text. Here I've created a new entry that would appear in the query applied steps window in the power query editor that I have called "Replace Values". The logic is if Data.Column4 column equals "London" then replace null values in Data.Column5 with London. However when I save the query below I get the error
Expression.Error: There is an unknown identifier. Did you use the [field] shorthand for a _[field] outside of an 'each' expression?
I plan to change the expression to test for multiple conditions however I need to get the basic expression working first. The other frustration i had with the "if" statement is it had to have an else even though I didn't require it, am i doing something wrong here?
let
FullFilePath = "C:PermanentDwellings.xlsx",
Source = Excel.Workbook(File.Contents(FullFilePath)),
#"Expanded Data" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(Source, "Data", {"Column1", "Column10", "Column11", "Column12", "Column13", "Column14", "Column15", "Column16",

I want to show on Power BI Dashboard a moving average - for example, I want to always show the last 30 measurement of body temperature but it looks like Power BI dashboard shows all measurements I have and compress them - which makes the dashboard ugly.
I tried to customize the X-axis properties but I dont know what I should change the default start/stop properties to (where the default property value is automatic).

I have two data tables:
1) Production data with column headers: Key, Facility, Line, Time, Output
2) Costs data with column headers: Key, Site, Cost Center, Time, Cost
The tables have a common key named obviously as Key. The data looks like this:
Key
Facility
Line
Time
Output
Alpha
I would like to have two pivot tables which I can filter with ONE slicer based on the column Key. The first pivot table shows row labels Facility, Line and column labels Time. Value field is Output. The second pivot table shows row labels Site, Cost Center, and column lables Time. Value field is Cost.How can I do this with Power Pivot? I tried by linking both tables above to a table with unique Keys in PowerPivot and then creating a PivotTable where I would have used the Key from the Keys table.
