Hi all,

I have the obvious relationships in my power pivot data model. I have 2 tables....Sales and Dates

DimDate[DateKey] --> Sales[Orderdate]

I want to calculate sales for the following specific dates and slice them by years.


  1. Jan-1st to Jan-1st is called NewYearSales,
  2. Dec-25th to Dec-25th is called Christmas Sales,
  3. Jan-14th to Jan-16th is called PongalSales.

This is to compare how these Festival sales are faring when compared to other sales measures like TotalSales.



This is a cross post from Here:

I tried this but not working:

PongalSales :=
CALCULATE (
[TotalSales],
DATESBETWEEN (
DimDate[Datekey],
FIRSTDATE ( DimDate[Datekey] ),
FIRSTDATE ( DimDate[Datekey] ) + 15
)
)


I tried this also, not working:

PongalSales :=
CALCULATE (
[TotalSales],
DATESBETWEEN (
DimDate[Datekey],
DATE ( YEAR ( DimDate[CalendarYear] ), 1, 1 ),
DATE ( YEAR ( DimDate[CalendarYear] ), 1, 15 )
)
)



This is working, but I can't slice this by Years....got it..?

PongalSales :=
CALCULATE (
[TotalSales],
DATESBETWEEN ( DimDate[Datekey], "1/1/2007", "15/1/2007" )
)


Any clue, advance thanks!
