How calculate the ‘change’ month to month to drive the Unit Rollforward in dax

Gopal_PV — Wed, 16 Jul 2025 18:32:12 GMT

Hi Folks,

I am connecting from snowflake Datamart to Power BI Using View. I have retriving Created_dt, Year,Month,ID,Name, sum(Units) from the view.
It is subscription based business. I want BOP, New Units, Expansion, Contraction,Churn, EOP
Not able to understand the below logic. Can you please help in this .

Thank in Advance.

BOP… # units at the Beginning of a Period

+ New Units… # units added in the period that were not in the prior period

Ie. If a Client was activated in Jun ’25… May ’25 should have 0, and June ’25 should have >0.. New Units

+ Expansion… # units added between periods with an Existing Customer

June ’25 – 100 units

May ’25 – 90 units

Expansion = 10 units

- Contraction… # units reduced between periods with an Existing Customer

June ’25 – 80 units

May ’25 – 100 units

Contraction = (20) units

- Churn… # units lost between periods, ending period must be 0

June ’25 – 0 units… this must be Zero to be categorized as Churn

May ’25 – 100 units

Chrun – (100) units

EOP = BOP + New + Expansion – Contraction – Churn

Gopal_PV Maybe something like the following:

Subscriptions = ADDCOLUMNS( 'YourView', "Period", DATE([Year_Created], [Month_Created], 1) )

SubscriptionsWithPrev = VAR Current = SELECTCOLUMNS('Subscriptions', "ID", [ID], "Period", [Period], "Units", [UNITS]) RETURN GENERATE( Current, VAR PrevPeriod = EDATE([Period], -1) RETURN FILTER( 'Subscriptions', 'Subscriptions'[ID] = [ID] && 'Subscriptions'[Period] = PrevPeriod ) )

BOP = SUMX( FILTER( 'Subscriptions', 'Subscriptions'[Period] = MINX('Subscriptions', EDATE('Subscriptions'[Period], 1)) ), 'Subscriptions'[UNITS] ) New Units = SUMX( FILTER( 'Subscriptions', NOT ( 'Subscriptions'[ID] IN SELECTCOLUMNS( FILTER( 'Subscriptions', 'Subscriptions'[Period] = EDATE(MAX('Subscriptions'[Period]), -1) ), "ID", 'Subscriptions'[ID] ) ) && 'Subscriptions'[Period] = MAX('Subscriptions'[Period]) ), 'Subscriptions'[UNITS] ) Expansion = SUMX( FILTER( 'Subscriptions', VAR CurrentPeriod = 'Subscriptions'[Period] VAR PrevPeriod = EDATE(CurrentPeriod, -1) VAR CurrentUnits = 'Subscriptions'[UNITS] VAR PrevUnits = SUMX( FILTER( 'Subscriptions', 'Subscriptions'[Period] = PrevPeriod && 'Subscriptions'[ID] = EARLIER('Subscriptions'[ID]) ), 'Subscriptions'[UNITS] ) RETURN CurrentUnits > PrevUnits && PrevUnits > 0 ), 'Subscriptions'[UNITS] - SUMX( FILTER( 'Subscriptions', 'Subscriptions'[Period] = EDATE('Subscriptions'[Period], -1) && 'Subscriptions'[ID] = EARLIER('Subscriptions'[ID]) ), 'Subscriptions'[UNITS] ) ) Contraction = SUMX( FILTER( 'Subscriptions', VAR CurrentPeriod = 'Subscriptions'[Period] VAR PrevPeriod = EDATE(CurrentPeriod, -1) VAR CurrentUnits = 'Subscriptions'[UNITS] VAR PrevUnits = SUMX( FILTER( 'Subscriptions', 'Subscriptions'[Period] = PrevPeriod && 'Subscriptions'[ID] = EARLIER('Subscriptions'[ID]) ), 'Subscriptions'[UNITS] ) RETURN CurrentUnits < PrevUnits && CurrentUnits > 0 ), SUMX( FILTER( 'Subscriptions', 'Subscriptions'[Period] = EDATE('Subscriptions'[Period], -1) && 'Subscriptions'[ID] = EARLIER('Subscriptions'[ID]) ), 'Subscriptions'[UNITS] ) - 'Subscriptions'[UNITS] ) Churn = SUMX( FILTER( 'Subscriptions', 'Subscriptions'[UNITS] = 0 && SUMX( FILTER( 'Subscriptions', 'Subscriptions'[Period] = EDATE('Subscriptions'[Period], -1) && 'Subscriptions'[ID] = EARLIER('Subscriptions'[ID]) ), 'Subscriptions'[UNITS] ) > 0 ), SUMX( FILTER( 'Subscriptions', 'Subscriptions'[Period] = EDATE('Subscriptions'[Period], -1) && 'Subscriptions'[ID] = EARLIER('Subscriptions'[ID]) ), 'Subscriptions'[UNITS] ) ) EOP = [BOP] + [New Units] + [Expansion] - [Contraction] - [Churn]

Hi Gopal_PV

Just checking in regarding the solution we shared earlier by Gopal_PV for calculating BOP, New Units, Expansion, Contraction, Churn, and EOP using DAX in Power BI, based on your Snowflake view data.

Could you please confirm if the approach helped in resolving your query and if the metrics are now reflecting as expected in your report?

If you’re facing any challenges implementing it or need further clarification, feel free to share the details we’ll be happy to assist further.

Looking forward to your response!
