20 Time Intelligence Dax Measures

20 Time Intelligence DAX measures in Power BI with examples:

  1. Year-to-Date Sales:

    css
    YTD Sales = TOTALYTD([Total Sales], Calendar[Date])
  2. Month-to-Date Sales:

    css
    MTD Sales = TOTALMTD([Total Sales], Calendar[Date])
  3. Quarter-to-Date Sales:

    css
    QTD Sales = TOTALQTD([Total Sales], Calendar[Date])
  4. Previous Year Sales:

    mathematica
    Previous Year Sales = CALCULATE([Total Sales], SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR(Calendar[Date]))
  5. Year-over-Year Growth:

    css
    YoY Growth = DIVIDE([Total Sales] - [Previous Year Sales], [Previous Year Sales])
  6. Rolling 3-Month Average Sales:

    sql
    3M Rolling Avg Sales = AVERAGEX(DATESINPERIOD(Calendar[Date], MAX(Calendar[Date]), -3, MONTH), [Total Sales])
  7. Cumulative Sales:

    scss
    Cumulative Sales = SUMX(FILTER(ALL(Calendar), Calendar[Date] <= MAX(Calendar[Date])), [Total Sales])
  8. Running Total Sales:

    scss
    Running Total Sales = SUMX(FILTER(ALL(Calendar), Calendar[Date] <= MAX(Calendar[Date])), [Total Sales])
  9. Year-to-Date Profit:

    css
    YTD Profit = TOTALYTD([Total Profit], Calendar[Date])
  10. Month-to-Date Profit:

    css
    MTD Profit = TOTALMTD([Total Profit], Calendar[Date])
  11. Quarter-to-Date Profit:

    css
    QTD Profit = TOTALQTD([Total Profit], Calendar[Date])
  12. Rolling 12-Month Total Sales:

    scss
    12M Rolling Sales = SUMX(DATESYTD(Calendar[Date]), [Total Sales])
  13. Average Sales per Day:

    sql
    Avg Sales per Day = DIVIDE([Total Sales], COUNTROWS(DATESYTD(Calendar[Date])))
  14. First Date of Sales:

    mathematica
    First Sales Date = MINX(FILTER(Calendar, [Total Sales] > 0), Calendar[Date])
  15. Last Date of Sales:

    mathematica
    Last Sales Date = MAXX(FILTER(Calendar, [Total Sales] > 0), Calendar[Date])
  16. Number of Days with Sales:

    css
    Days with Sales = COUNTROWS(FILTER(Calendar, [Total Sales] > 0))
  17. Average Sales Growth Rate:

    scss
    Avg Sales Growth Rate = AVERAGEX(VALUES(Calendar[Year]), [YoY Growth])
  18. Total Sales for Selected Period:

    sql
    Sales for Selected Period = CALCULATE([Total Sales], DATESBETWEEN(Calendar[Date], [Start Date], [End Date]))
  19. Max Sales Date:

    scss
    Max Sales Date = CALCULATE(MAX(Calendar[Date]), FILTER(ALL(Calendar), [Total Sales] = [Max Sales]))
  20. Min Sales Date:

    scss
    Min Sales Date = CALCULATE(MIN(Calendar[Date]), FILTER(ALL(Calendar), [Total Sales] = [Min Sales]))

These time intelligence measures help you analyze data over different time periods, calculate growth rates, and track trends within your Power BI reports. Remember to adjust them based on your specific date and data structure.

Charts - Make your data presentable

One-click charts are easy: Select the data and press  Alt+F1 . What if you would rather create bar charts instead of the default clustered column chart? To make your life easier, you can change the default chart type. Store your favorite chart settings in a template and then teach Excel to produce your favorite chart in response to  Alt+F1 . Say that you want to clean up the chart above. All of those zeros on the left axis take up a lot of space without adding value. Double-click those numbers and change Display Units from None to Millions. To move the legend to the top, click the + sign next to the chart, choose the arrow to the right of Legend, and choose Top. Change the color scheme to something that works with your company colors. Right-click the chart and choose Save As Template. Then, give the template a name. (I called mine ClusteredColumn.) Select a chart. In the Design tab of the Ribbon, choose Change Chart Type. Click on the Templates folder to see the template that ...

Rank Function

How to Use the RANK Function If you give the RANK function a number, and a list of numbers, it will tell you the rank of that number in the list, either in ascending or descending order. For example, in the screen shot below, there is a list of 10 student test scores, in cells B2:B11. To find the rank of the the first student's score in cell B2, enter this formula in cell C2: =RANK(B2,$B$2:$B$11) Then, copy the formula from cell C2 down to cell C11, and the scores will be ranked in descending order. RANK Function Arguments There are 3 arguments for the RANK function: number : in the above example, the number to rank is in cell  B2 ref : We want to compare the number to the list of numbers in cells  $B$2:$B$11 . Use an absolute reference ($B$2:$B11), instead of a relative reference (B2:B11)so the referenced range will stay the same when you copy the formula down to the cells below order : (optional) This argument tells Excel whether to rank the list in ascending or descending o...

What if Analysis

Sometimes, you want to see many different results from various combinations of inputs. Provided that you have only two input cells to change, the Data Table feature will do a sensitivity analysis. Using the loan payment example, say that you want to calculate the price for a variety of principal balances and for a variety of terms. Make sure that the formula you want to model is in the top-left corner of a range. Put various values for one variable down the left column and various values for another variable across the top. From the Data tab, select What-If Analysis, Data Table.... You have values along the top row of the input table. You want Excel to plug those values into a certain input cell. Specify that input cell for Row Input Cell. You have values along the left column. You want those plugged into another input cell. Specify that cell for the Column Input Cell. When you click OK, Excel repeats the formula in the top-left column for all combinations of the top row and left colum...
