Value in 2 date ranges (aka retained account)

dmmckelv — Mon, 20 Jun 2022 20:41:32 GMT

I have an opportunties table with an Account ID and a Close Date. I want to know if the account id from the date range slicer also exists in the date range from 1 year after the date range selected. The calcuation I've created is below but it is not right. Basically if my slicer is set to 1/1/2021 - 1/31/2021 and account 123 had a close date of 1/5/2021 and another row in the table with a close date of 1/10/2022, the new column would return a 1 otherwise a 0.

is_retained =

VAR CurrentName = salesforce_opportunity[Account Id]

VAR nextYearEndDate = DATEADD(LASTDATE('date'[Date]), 1, Year)

VAR nextYearStartDate = DATEADD(FIRSTDATE('date'[Date]), 1, Year)

VAR FilterTable =

FILTER (

salesforce_opportunity,

salesforce_opportunity[Account ID] = CurrentName

&& salesforce_opportunity[Close Date] <= nextYearEndDate

&& salesforce_opportunity[Close Date] >= nextYearStartDate

)

VAR Result =

MAXX ( FilterTable, salesforce_opportunity[Account ID] )

RETURN

Result

dmmckelv , Try a measure like

=
var _max1 = MAXX( allselected('Date'), 'Date'[Date]) )
var _min1 = MINX( allselected('Date'), 'Date'[Date]) )
var _max = date(Year(_max1)+1, Month(_max1), day(_max1))
var _min = date(Year(_min1)+1, Month(_min1), day(_min1))
return
CALCULATE(count(salesforce_opportunity[Account Id]) ,DATESBETWEEN('Date'[Date],_min,_max))

Hey amitchandak thanks for your response. The solution you propose doesn't account for the account id existing in the selected date period as well as the future date period. Under this definition, the retained customer would have a record where is_won is true in the period selected from the slider and in the same period 1 year in the future.

Hi dmmckelv ,

I think you can try this code to create a measure.

My Sample:

Measure:

is_retained = VAR _ADDCOLUMN = ADDCOLUMNS ( salesforce_opportunity, "IN THIS PERIOD", IF ( [Close Date] IN VALUES ( 'Date'[Date] ), 1, 0 ), "IN NEXT PERIOD", IF ( [Close Date] IN DATEADD ( 'Date'[Date], 1, YEAR ), 1, 0 ) ) VAR _Result = MAXX(_ADDCOLUMN,[IN THIS PERIOD])*MAXX(_ADDCOLUMN,[IN NEXT PERIOD]) RETURN _Result

Result is as below.
