The primary reason to adopt the new calendar-based time intelligence in Power BI is its flexibility. Classic time intelligence functions work out of the box and deliver meaningful results in most scenarios. However, to do so, they make assumptions about the calendar structure and the desired outcomes. Sometimes, the choices are not aligned with the user requirements, and developers need to author their own time intelligence calculations.
The new calendar-based time intelligence functions provide greater flexibility by allowing developers to configure parameters that drive the internal algorithms to meet diverse requirements. Using these parameters requires a precise understanding of the scenario for which they were built, which requires some attention to detail.
