Count rows in the period between dates

monicaalves4 — Mon, 09 Jan 2023 19:03:05 GMT

Hi,

I have a table similar to the table below and I would like to make a measure that calculates how many items there are with today's and yesterday's created date.

I started by using the following formula

CALCULATE(COUNT('items'[CreatedDate]),'items'[CreatedDate]>Today,'items'[Type]="Type 1").

This formula gives me a measure with total items of "Type 1" and created today. Now I would like that give me back the itens today and yesterday what do I need to change? what if i want the ones created in the last 3 days or during this week?

Thank you!

Hi,

I am not sure if I understood your question correctly, but please check the below picture and the attached pbix file.

It is for creating a new measure.

Items count from one day before to today: = CALCULATE ( COUNTROWS ( Data ), Data[Type] = "Type1", Data[CreatedDate] >= TODAY () - 1 )

hi monicaalves4

In addition to Jihwan's solution, you may also try:

CountMeasure =

COUNTROWS(

FILTER(

items, items[CreateDate]>=TODAY()-1

&&items[Type]="Type1"

)

pls replace 1 with 2, to get the last 3 days count; 1 with 6, to get the last week count.

Hi , monicaalves4

According to your description, you want to get the count of items which type = "Type1" and you want to make the calculation dynamic? Like last n days?

Here are the steps you can refer to :
(1)We can create a what-if parameter as a slicer:

(2)Then we can create a measure like this:

Measure = var _slicer= [Parameter Value] var _first_day = TODAY()- _slicer+1 var _t = FILTER('Table', 'Table'[Type]="Type1" && 'Table'[CreatedDate]>= _first_day && 'Table'[CreatedDate]<=TODAY()) return COUNTROWS(_t)

(3)Then we can meet your need , when we select the slicer n, it means we get the count of the items in the last n days:

Thank you for your time and sharing, and thank you for your support and understanding of PowerBI!
