Display Sale by Month in Straight table

Mon, 31 Mar 2014 11:36:20 GMT

Hi all,

I have a calendar like below.

using this date range I would like to create Month wise sale in STRAIGHT table

I have Variable called

vFromDate & vToDate

and Field name called DECDDT1 and [Net Sales]

I can mange to find Jan & March Sales using below expression.

sum({<DECDDT1 = {'>=$(vFromDate) <=$(=Monthend(vFromDate))'}>}[Net Sales]) //---- For Jan Sale

sum({<DECDDT1 = {'>=$(=monthstart(vToDate)) <=$(vToDate)'}>}[Net Sales]) ///--For March Sales

How do I get FEB sale? or if I Increase/decrease Date range?

Thanks

Vinay

Try like this

sum({<DECDDT1 = {'>=$(vFromDate) <=$(vToDate)'}>}[Net Sales]) //---- For Jan Feb Mar Sale

Hope this helps

Hi Anand,

I want all months individually.

I Don't want Total of all Months which your expression gives me.

In dimension use Month Dimension field and in expression use

sum({<DECDDT1 = {'>=$(vFromDate) <=$(vToDate)'}>}[Net Sales]) //---- For Jan Feb Mar Sale

if if you have not month field extract like Month(DECDDT1)

Hope this helps

I am not sure why you would want to have this as a straight table as that would mean that you would have to hard code every month (compared to having a pivot table) with a YearMonth-dimension as a column header.

Your Start and End Months can then be calculated as:

Month 0:

$(vFromDate)

MonthEnd($(vFromDate)),0)

Month 1:

MonthStart($(vFromDate),1)

MonthEnd($(vFromDate)),1)

Month 2:

MonthStart($(vFromDate),2)

MonthEnd($(vFromDate)),2)

Month 3:

MonthStart($(vFromDate),2)

$(vToDate)

You should probably. Combine this with something like:

IF(MonthEnd($(vFromDate)),3)>$(vToDate),MonthEnd($(vFromDate)),2),0)

But to be honest this starts looking really ugly and hard coded.

I would definitely go for a PivotTable with the YearMonth-dimension on top.

Kind regards

you can use AddMonths on MonthStart / MonthEnd to express other months

Floor(Addmonths(MonthEnd($(vFromDate)),1))

Pay attention to MonthEnd, from help

MonthEnd(date [, shift = 0])

Returns a value corresponding to a timestamp with the last millisecond of the last date of the month containing date.

But as other people already suggested you're making a pivot with a lot of effort.......
