Don't count before starting date

Hello,

 

I try to count my lost customers and my visual looks like

 

 

where Lost = IF([Netamount_mon])=BLANK(),1,0) and year and month come from a date table.

Since customer A first purchased date is Oct 2021, it should not count as lost.

 

I tried IF('Date'[Date] < [first purchased date], BLANK(),...), but the date table does not work with IF function.

 

Happy for any idea.

 

Thanks a lot

    My solution: Tabelle2

    Via DAX, your old value:

    Lost = IF(sum(Tabelle2[Amount])>0,0,1)
    New DAX:
    Lost_new = 
     VAR firsttime = CALCULATE(min(Tabelle2[Date]),FILTER(ALL(Tabelle2),Tabelle2[Amount]>0))
     VAR currenttime = MAXX(Tabelle2,Tabelle2[Date])
    VAR varnew = IF(sum(Tabelle2[Amount])= 0 && currenttime>firsttime,1,0)
    RETURN varnew
     
    Result:

    Thanks for your help. When I try your DAX I receive the same error 😞

     

    My Date comes from a different Date Table. This is exactly where I struggle

    I should mention that I tried it as a measure

      You have to use the by VAR firstime the date column from "6_lost"
      VAR currenttime you have to use the date column from "6_lost"
