    Per Day Calculation

      I am having a problem with the way per day cost is being calculated for the years 2013 to 2015 the calculations are fine however for the year 2016 only "Cost 8" shows a wrong calculation all the others are correct the result is 3,399 however is calculated as 4,235

      calculation for prior years = Actual / 365 / 19

      calculation for current year = Actual / 152 /19 (data as of 31-May-2016

      My formula for per day is as follows

      INT((sum([Actual]) /IIF(MAX(YEAR([Period]))<YEAR(NOW()),365,DATEDIFF('day',MIN(DATETRUNC('year',[Period])),MAX([Period])+1)

      ))/19)

       

          

      Actual[Per Day]/19

            I would try to debug it by trying different variables in your logic such as changing to the bold and seeing what that results in

             

            INT((sum([Actual]) /IIF(MAX(YEAR([Period]))<YEAR(NOW()),365,DATEDIFF('day',MIN(DATETRUNC('year',[Period])),Max(Today()))

            ))/19)

             

            or even what the latter part of your equation by itself yields

             

            DATEDIFF('day',MIN(DATETRUNC('year',[Period])),MAX([Period])+1)

              thank you John, using today () gives the following result, as the formula calculates the last date for the entry you can see the wages was entered on 1/June/2016 hence you can see the table below is not giving me the desired result of 182 days this year which I need in my formula,

               

              is there a way to get the number of days based on the month of reporting rather than an entry date

              example

              Jan  = 31

              Feb = 59

              Mar = 90

              Apr = 120

              May=151

              Jun=181

                Hi Dereck,

                 

                Please find the attached tableau workbook and confirm the output. I have also attached the excel data source that is being used.

                 

                I have used two calc fields which are listed below

                 

                Name - Date_Diff (This will give the data diff from year start to today)

                DATEDIFF('day',MAKEDATE(YEAR([Year]),1,1),TODAY()-30)

                 

                Name - Per Day Calc (This will calculate the Per year separate for 2016)

                if [Pivot field names]="Yr 2016" then ([Pivot field values]/[Date_Diff])/19

                ELSE ([Pivot field values]/365)/19

                END

                 

                Let me know if you have any queries. I have used pivot data option to transform the data row wise.

                 

                Thanks and Regards,

                Ashish Chaudhari

                  thank you Ashish,

                  Using your data for the year 2016 the result I am looking for is

                            Amount / Qty / Days    

                  Cost 1 80 545 /19 /182 = 23.3

                  Cost 2 302,562 /19 /182 = 87.5

                  Cost 3 198,714/19 /182= 57.4

                   

                  for next month it would be

                            Amount / Qty / Days    

                  Cost 1 80 545 /19 /213 = 19.9

                  Cost 2 302,562 /19 /213 = 74.75

                  Cost 3 198,714/19 /213= 49.1

                   

                  Basically I need the number of days from 1/1/2016 to the end of each month I am reporting on at the end of June it is 182 days at the end of next month it would be 213 days
