Computing values between a range of dates

Hey there


Here's the link for my sample file.

 

How can I compute the amount of sales for a given user, but respecting their active date period? For instance, taking the IdUser = 1 into consideration a correct measure should computes the total of 278, as his active period (shown in d_users table) is from January 1st, 2020 to February 19th, 2020, therefore excluding the sales that took place after this period, i.e., IdSale = 16 and IdSale = 19.

 

For this specific case, I've authored the following measure, but it has not worked in the total level, only in the row level.

 

Modelo = 
VAR _Maximo = MAX( d_calendar[Date] )
VAR _Minimo = MIN( d_calendar[Date] )
VAR _Periodo =
    DATESBETWEEN(
        d_calendar[Date],
        CALCULATE( MIN( d_users[DateStart] ) ),
        CALCULATE( MIN( d_users[DateEnd] ) )
    )
VAR _UsersAtivos =
    SUMMARIZE(
        FILTER(
            d_users,
            d_users[DateStart] <= _Maximo
                && d_users[DateEnd] >= _Minimo
        ),
        d_users[IdUser]
    )
VAR _Resultado =
    CALCULATE(
        SUMX( f_sales, f_sales[Amount] ),
        KEEPFILTERS( _UsersAtivos )
    )
RETURN
    _Resultado


The other calculation I'd like to compute is basically the same, however now the date period is stored at f_users. In this calculation, only the IdSale = 16 should not be take into consideration as the IdSale = 19 took place in his second active period at f_users.

 

Could you guys help me out with this? SpartaBI Ahmedx Ritaf1983 

 

Thanks in advance.

  • Hi,

    Darag this measure to the visual

    Modelo1 = SUMX(VALUES(d_calendar[Week]),[Modelo])

    Hope this helps.

      Hey, Ashish_Mathur . Thanks for your response.

       

      Great, it has actually worked.

       

      Do you know how to compute the second part?

      My real-life model has this particularity, but I don't know how to solve this either.

       

      Once again, thanks for your response.

        I just cannot understand your requirement.  Share a simple dataset and show the expected result.

  • Hi Anonymous ,

     

    Please try this:

    Sales within active period = 
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( f_sales[Amount] ),
        FILTER (
            f_sales,
            f_sales[DateSale] >= MIN ( d_users[DateStart] )
                && f_sales[DateSale] <= MAX ( d_users[DateEnd] )
        ),
        CROSSFILTER ( d_users[IdUser], f_sales[IdUser], NONE )
    )

      Hey, danextian . Thanks a lot for your response.

       

      I've tried replicatig this measure you provide but there are some row-level numbers that don't seem to be right, as outlined in the following image. In this specific case, the number 93 is a sale from IdUser = 1, but in this week this user was not active. Do you know why it happens? However, you manage to fix the total-level result, which is great for my case. Thanks for that.

       

      Also, do you know how to make the calculation for the 'f_user' table? There there are more than one row for each IdUser, therefore making things even more difficult (which unfortunely happens in my real-life model).

       

      Once again, I do appreciate your help.

      I've tried all the responses, but none of them actually worked.
