Needing help with New measure using date range
I struggle with DAX big time and I've been struggling with trying to create a new measure that establishes the number of active users based on a "Hire date" and "Termination date". What DAX function can I use to find active employee count if I only have hire and term dates? I am assuming that once I have this measure, I can use a slicer, for a specific period in time, and have an accurate headcount on said date. Any help is appreciated.
Hi, KeyFMSPM
You can try the following methods.
Sample data:Create a new calendar table.
Date = CALENDAR(MIN('Table'[Hire date]),TODAY())Measure:
Measure = CALCULATE ( COUNT ( 'Table'[Employee] ), FILTER ( ALL ( 'Table' ), [Termination date] = BLANK () ) ) + CALCULATE ( COUNT ( 'Table'[Employee] ), FILTER ( ALL ( 'Table' ), [Hire date] >= MIN ( 'Date'[Date] ) && [Termination date] <= MAX ( 'Date'[Date] ) && [Termination date] <> BLANK () ) )Please refer to the attachment.
