Need help with a dax formula

Samhunt — Sun, 04 Feb 2024 10:40:38 GMT

Hi Everyone,

I used the DAX Formula below to create a measure that will count all active properties of my company.

"Total No. Of Active Properties "For Measures" =

VAR CurrentDate = MAX('Calendar Lookup'[Date])

VAR ActiveProperties =

CALCULATE(

COUNTROWS('Active Properties'),

ALL('Calendar Lookup'),

'Calendar Lookup'[Date] <= CurrentDate,

ISBLANK('Active Properties'[Deactivation Date])

|| 'Active Properties'[Deactivation Date]>= CurrentDate

)

RETURN

ActiveProperties"

It works well when I add it in a visual.

But when I use it to create another measure, lets say Revenue per available property or Fixed costs per available property etc this messes up my results all visuals related to my Revenue Measure which is the following:

Total Revenue Managed Properties =

CALCULATE(

SUM('Sales Data'[Amount]),

FILTER (

'Properties',

'Properties'[Revenue Category] = "Management Fee")

)

All expenses seem to be ok and they are based on the formula below:

Total Expenses Managed Properties =

SUM( Expenses[Net Cost])

So probably the first formula in some way messes up with the calculate function of the second formula

Will I need a different formula to count all active properties and be used in other measures?

Thank you for your time.

Samhunt I'm not quite tracking this. I don't see how the first measure relates to the second measure.

Sorry, having trouble following, can you post sample data as text and expected output?
