I need to compare data from periods of 2 weeks each time.
For example - week 10-17 OCT to week 17-24 OCT
I want to create a dashboard
When access the dashboard I want to choose each time a period of LAST FULL 2 WEEKS (Monday to Monday) regardless to today's date.
Tried to make a calculated filed that adds and reduces days according to current date with DATEPART. maybe there is a better way? because this did not work for me as well.
One issue you may want to consider with the above approach, if you have multiple years of data, you'll also need a year filter to keep to the current year, otherwise it will add previous years into your view. Alternatively, you can modify the filter calc as follows:
IF (DATEPART('year', [Date]) = DATEPART('year', today())
AND DATEPART('week', [Date]) = (DATEPART('week', today()) -2)
OR DATEPART('year', [Date]) = DATEPART('year', today())
AND DATEPART('week', [Date]) = (DATEPART('week', today()) - 1))
THEN 'Include'
ELSE 'Exclude'
END
There is probably a better way to do this, but for the sake of a quick answer that works...
Create a calculated field with this logic
if (datepart('week',[Order Date])= (datepart('week',today())) -2)
or (datepart('week',[Order Date])= (datepart('week',today())) -1)
then 'Include'
else 'Exclude'
end
There are two things happening in this formula: first, we are retrieving the week number (1 through 52) from the date field ([order date]). Next we retrieve the week number for the current week and subtract 2 from the result. If the record ([Order Date]) is = to the current week minus 2, OR the current week minus 1, then "Include", otherwise exclude.
Then, you can add this field to the filter pane and set to only include 'Include'

I want to get the whole day of the week depend on the date, my query is working and getting the result that I want but when the date value is Sunday, result changes.
I'm starting the result from Mon to Sunday.
Examples below:
My Code:
SELECT UserID,Scdl_TkIN as TimeIn, Scdl_TkOut as [TimeOut]
FROM EmployeeTimekeeping
WHERE CONVERT(DATE,Scdl_TkIN) >= dateadd(day, 2-datepart(dw, '2022-04-23'),CONVERT(date,'2022-04-23'))
AND CONVERT(DATE,Scdl_TkIN) < dateadd(day, 9-datepart(dw, '2022-04-23'), CONVERT(date,'2022-04-23'))AND UserID ='15020009'
ORDER BY CONVERT(DATE,Scdl_TkIN)
1st display is correct, but when I change the value into '2022-04-24' , the result is now the second pic but I want the result still 1st pic.
If I got it right you want the whole week of data given a single date.
I'm not 100% sure about your date logic and I'd rather use the WEEK as a filter as it seems clearer, that said the issue you have is the value of SELECT ##DATEFIRST.
By default its value is 7, meaning that Sunday is considered the first day of the week, that's why you get that "unexpected" result.
here is my solution, but just setting SET DATEFIRST 1; should give you the expected result.
SET DATEFIRST 1;
SELECT
UserID
,Scdl_TkIN as TimeIn
,Scdl_TkOut as TimeOut
FROM EmployeeTimekeeping
WHERE
DATEPART(WEEK,Scdl_TkIN) = DATEPART(WEEK,'2022-04-23')
AND YEAR(Scdl_TkIN) = YEAR('2022-04-23')
AND UserID ='15020009'
ORDER BY
Scdl_TkIN
Note: if you decide to use WEEK for filtering you will have to choose between WEEK and ISO_WEEK
Edit: when using week you must also consider the year in the filter
I'm making an excel file that will be used for a report on sickness absence.
We are looking at the last 100 days (which I've been able to do with a simple filter in my Applied Steps) and we want to compare to the same time last year plus 100 days before that date AND look at 50 days after that date.
How can I filter for this in Power Query? Or do I have to write a custom formula? (In which case, does anyone know what and where to write it)
Idea is to be able to run this report every day/week and give updates on how we're doing in the winter in comparison to last year.
Any help on this will be greatly appreciated, thank you in advance!
Use the drop down filter atop the date column ... Date filters ... between ... and enter some random set of dates like 1/30/2019 through 1/30/2020
That generates this code
= Table.SelectRows(#"Changed Type", each [date] >= #date(2019, 1, 30) and [date] <= #date(2020, 1, 30))
edit it for your desired date range which could be like this
= Table.SelectRows(#"Changed Type", each [date] >= Date.AddDays(targetdate, -465) and [date] <= Date.AddDays(targetdate, -315))
I assume -465 which is last year (365 days prior) plus 100 days back, and -315 which is -365+50
As for what to use instead of targetdate ... you didn't tell us .. perhaps hardcode a date #date(2019,10,31), use whatever you had in your original filter, or maybe the maximum of the current date column
List.Max(#"priorstepname"[date])
I have a date column which I am trying to query to return only the largest date per month.
What I currently have, albeit very simple, returns 99% of what I am looking for. For example, If I list the column in ascending order the first entry is 2016-10-17 and ranges up to 2017-10-06.
A point to note is that the last day of every month may not be present in the data, so I'm really just looking to pull back whatever is the "largest" date present for any existing month.
The query I'm running at the moment looks like
SELECT MAX(date_col)
FROM schema_name.table_name
WHERE <condition1>
AND <condition2>
GROUP BY EXTRACT (MONTH FROM date_col)
ORDER BY max;
This does actually return most of what I'm looking for - what I'm actually getting back is
"2016-11-30"
"2016-12-30"
"2017-01-31"
"2017-02-28"
"2017-03-31"
"2017-04-28"
"2017-05-31"
"2017-06-30"
"2017-07-31"
"2017-08-31"
"2017-09-29"
"2017-10-06"
which are indeed the maximal values present for every month in the column. However, the result set doesn't seem to include the maximum date value from October 2016 (The first months worth of data in the column). There are multiple values in the column for that month, ranging up to 2016-10-31.
If anyone could point out why the max value for this month isn't being returned, I'd much appreciate it.
You are grouping by month (1 to 12) rather than by month and year. Since 2017-10-06 is greater than any day in October 2016, that's what you get for the "October" group.
You should
GROUP BY date_trunc('month', date_col)
I am creating a view where i have multiple records showing up for each month.
Example: January is showing 20 records and February is showing 30 records. I only want the last record of EACH MONTH to show up. So i want to see 1 record for each month.
I have already tried the first() and last() table calculation, but it does not filter by month, but by column.
If you just apply first and last on the dataaset then you won't get the correct output, If you need for every month then you need to divide the partition to year and month and then apply the max on the specific partition.
Try this way:
Place the order date in Exact date format and change the property to discrete
Now extract the year and month in separate calculated fields and place in detail.
Year:
year(Date)
Month:
Month(date)
Now create one more calculated field and write below code:
WINDOW_MAX(MAX([Order Date]),FIRST(),LAST())
Try This
1 Calculated Field - DateMonth
Datetrunc('month',Date)
2 Calculative field - LastDate
{ FIXED DateMonth: max(Date)}
3 Calculative Field- Filter
if lastDate=Date then 'Yes' else 'No' end
My report needs to make criteria which pulls data for the current month and after today's date.
The following formula works for the current month, so how can I add behavior to show dates after today?
{Command.plnshpdat} >= Dateserial(year(currentDate),Month(currentdate),1) and
{Command.plnshpdat}< dateserial(year(currentdate),Month(Currentdate)+1,1)
Check for any dates between today and the first of next month:
{Command.plnshpdat} > Date(CurrentDate)
AND
{Command.plnshpdat} < DateSerial(Year(Currentdate), Month(CurrentDate) + 1, 1)
Note that we technically don't need to check if the date is after or equal to the first of this month. That logic is redundant now that you're only accepting values after today.
