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.

Turn Data Sideways

Someone built this lookup table sideways, stretching across C1:N2. I realize that I could use HLOOKUP instead of VLOOKUP, but I prefer to turn the data back to a vertical orientation. Copy C1:N2. Right-click in A4 and choose the Transpose option under the Paste Options. Transpose is the fancy Excel word for “turn the data sideways.” I transpose a lot. But I use  Alt+E ,  S ,  E ,  Enter  to transpose instead of the right-click. There is a problem, though. Transpose is a one-time snapshot of the data. What if you have formulas in the horizontal data? Is there a way to transpose with a formula? The first way is a bit bizarre. If you are trying to transpose 12 horizontal cells, you need to select 12 vertical cells in a single selection. Start typing a formula such as  =TRANSPOSE(C2:N2)  in the active cell but do not press Enter. Instead, hold down  Ctrl+Shift  and then press  Enter . This puts a single array formula in the selected cells. T...
