This Query related with thread "Monthly Revenue Forecast DAX Function "
Prompt
Answer
Certainly! Here we provide an example of extending an existing DAX function to handle leap years in the daily revenue calculations.
Existing Code Snippet
-- This DAX function calculates the daily revenue
Daily Revenue =
SUMX (
Sales,
Sales[Revenue] / CALCULATE (
COUNTROWS ( Calendar ),
Calendar[Date] >= Sales[StartDate] && Calendar[Date] <= Sales[EndDate]
)
)
Objective
To adjust the DAX equation to correctly count the number of days in each month, including handling leap years (where February has 29 days instead of 28).
Analysis and Strategy
The calculation of the daily revenue depends on the number of days between Sales[StartDate]
and Sales[EndDate]
. Thus, we need to ensure that this period correctly accounts for leap years.
Extended Code Snippet
To incorporate leap year handling, we can modify the code as follows:
-- This updated DAX function calculates the daily revenue accounting for leap years
Daily Revenue =
SUMX (
Sales,
Sales[Revenue] / CALCULATE (
COUNTROWS ( ADDCOLUMNS (
Calendar,
"IsLeapYear", IF (
YEAR ( Calendar[Date] ) % 4 = 0 && (
YEAR ( Calendar[Date] ) % 100 <> 0 || YEAR ( Calendar[Date] ) % 400 = 0
), 1, 0
),
"DaysInMonth", IF (
MONTH ( Calendar[Date] ) = 2,
IF (
[IsLeapYear] = 1, 29, 28
),
SWITCH (
MONTH ( Calendar[Date] ),
1, 31,
3, 31,
4, 30,
5, 31,
6, 30,
7, 31,
8, 31,
9, 30,
10, 31,
11, 30,
12, 31,
0
)
)
)),
Calendar[Date] >= Sales[StartDate] && Calendar[Date] <= Sales[EndDate]
)
)
Explanation
Leap Year Calculation
- A leap year occurs if:
- The year is divisible by 4
- Additionally, if the year is divisible by 100, it must also be divisible by 400.
Adjusting Days in February
- If it's a leap year, February has 29 days; otherwise, it has 28 days.
Modifications:
- Adding
IsLeapYear
Column: Determines whether the year of each date entry in the calendar is a leap year. - Calculating
DaysInMonth
: Adjusts the days in February based on leap year calculation and correctly returns days for other months using aSWITCH
statement.
This modification ensures that the daily revenue calculation accurately reflects the number of days in each month, including proper handling of leap years.

This extended function adheres to DAX best practices and integrates seamlessly with the existing code structure, making the code more robust and accurate, especially for financial reporting.
Description
Explaining how to adjust an existing DAX formula to account for leap years in daily revenue calculations by adding leap year logic and adjusting days in February.
