Total Completed Orders

Hello, 

 

I have a bit of an issue I'm not quite sure how to handle. I have a table that has Order # / Order Description / Created Date and Completed Date. The problem, is I need to be able to accurately calculate the # of completed orders per month, as I'm filtering by different things such as date, or plant or customer etc. Below is a small sample of my data. How do I accurately capture the number of completed orders in a given year and month, when the completed date might fall in the next month or two months down the road? Order # 18248 for example ... 

 

Thanks in advance!

    One approach is to add the following calculated column to your table.

     

    This will bucket each order into a month.  If you use this new column on the axis of a visual, you can then drop a Count of Orders measure into the values to give you an accurate picture.

     

    CompletedMonth = DATE(
                    YEAR('Table'[CompletedDate]) ,
                    MONTH('Table'[CompletedDate]) ,
                    1
                )
