Time Intelligence in Power BI by Marco Russo

Follow
Global Power BI User Group

Time Intelligence is probably the most interesting feature of any analytical solution. Computing
YearToDate, MonthToDate, SamePeriodLastYear, is quite easy in DAX but, as soon as the
customer requests for time intelligence comparing data from different tables, or to manage
nonstandard calendars, the DAX formulas start to be harder to write.
In this session, we are going to show how to compute classical time intelligence with the builtin
Power BI tools and DAX functions. Then, we will show some more complex time intelligence
formulas, which require thinking out of the box, using advanced data modeling and querying
techniques to produce interesting and useful formulas.
