I have written a measure to determine the next upcoming Friday's date based off of today's date. I'm sure there is a better way, but basically I used a combination of CALCULATE, IF and WEEKDAY to determine how many days needed to be added to TODAY to get the upcoming Friday, if not Friday already.
Now I am wanting to use this calculation in another measure to determine how many items are due by the upcoming Friday; however, I get the error that a calculation can not be used as a filter. Is there a way around this?
My data has a "Due By" date, so I want to count the number of rows that are not in a CLOSED or REJECTED status (another column in the rows) that are "due by" the upcoming Firday.
The masure I was trying is below.
Due_By_FRI = CALCULATE(COUNT([defect_id],[defect_status]<>"Closed",[defect_status]<>"Rejected",[ECT]<=[FRI_DTE]
I get the below error
A function 'CALCULATE' has been used in a True/False expression that is used as a table filter expression. This is not allowed.
If I change [FRI_DAE] to TODAY(), then it will count the number today by TODAY or if I do TODAY()+/- n it will give me the number due by today +/- the number. However, I want it to due this automatically.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
