Count rows where date column is 1st day of next month

georgec96 — Wed, 22 Jun 2022 06:28:55 GMT

Hi all, im trying to create a measure that would count all rows where the column date is 1st day of next month however im getting an error when using the CALCULATE function.

"A function "CALCULATE" has been used in a true or false expression that is used as a table filter expression. This is not allowed."

Thank you in advance

Hi tamerj1 I have used the following formula

DK orders Left = CALCULATE(COUNT(ebs_lcl_open_orders[oracle_order_number]),ebs_lcl_open_orders[due_date]=NEXTMONTH(ebs_lcl_open_lines[order_due_date]))

Hi georgec96

please try

DK orders Left = VAR NextMonth = EOMONTH ( ebs_lcl_open_lines[order_due_date], 0 ) + 1 RETURN CALCULATE ( COUNT ( ebs_lcl_open_orders[oracle_order_number] ), ebs_lcl_open_orders[due_date] = NextMonth )

Hi tamerj1

Can I write this as a measure?

It won't let me reference the datecolumn when i try.

Yes you can

DK orders Left = VAR NextMonth = EOMONTH ( MAX ( ebs_lcl_open_lines[order_due_date] ), 0 ) + 1 RETURN CALCULATE ( COUNT ( ebs_lcl_open_orders[oracle_order_number] ), ebs_lcl_open_orders[due_date] = NextMonth )

Yes as there is no data for next month. You need to slice by or select date

column due_date containts the date 1st of july 2022 which is what I want to count.

I was hoping that the measure will return a count of all those rows where the due_date is 1st of july 2022

Ok then let's return nextmonth

DK orders Left = VAR NextMonth = EOMONTH ( MAX ( ebs_lcl_open_lines[order_due_date] ), 0 ) + 1 VAR Result = CALCULATE ( COUNT ( ebs_lcl_open_orders[oracle_order_number] ), ebs_lcl_open_orders[due_date] = NextMonth ) RETURN NextMonth
