Hi Everyone,
I have an Install base (customer count) measure which distinctcounts the number of customer IDs as follows:
I also have a similiar measure for the same period last year:
I use the two together to create a measure which reflects the change in customer count:
I'm trying to create the same measure but Aggregated but I'm struggling with this and getting contiguous date selections dax-
Or when i try it this way i get too high numbers:
So to try to recreate what I have on the right end below, summing the months as a running/aggregate total.
Thank you everyone,
Eyal

Hi:
When you do your "Same Period LY measure, can you do it like this:
Thanks @Whitewater100 , i'll try changing to my calendar table (i used the detail table date instead) and will update.
Hello:
Great. I hope that works for you and if it does can you mark as solution? Thanks...
Hi:
I think you may be gettting that message as you may not have a date table, with continuous dates starting before your data starts and ending at end of ear after. When you mark it as a date table and connect it on the one side to your many-side tables, then the built-in time intel functions work great.
I can paste some date table DAX code that you can use as a Date Table if you want to.
Dates =
-- Specify a start date and end date
VAR StartDate = Date(2010,1,1)
VAR EndDate = Today()
VAR FiscalMonthEnd = 6
-- Generate a base table of dates
VAR BaseTable = Calendar(StartDate, EndDate)
-- Add the Year for each individual date
VAR Years = ADDCOLUMNS(BaseTable,"Year",YEAR([Date]))
-- Add the calendar month and other month related data for each date
VAR Months = ADDCOLUMNS(
Years,
"Month",MONTH([Date]),
"Year and Month Number",FORMAT([Date],"YYYY-MM"),
"Year and Month Name",FORMAT([Date],"YYYY-MMM"),
"Fiscal Year", IF( FiscalMonthEnd = 12, YEAR([Date]), IF( MONTH([DATE]) <= FiscalMonthEnd, YEAR([DATE])-1, YEAR([Date]))),
"Fiscal Month", IF( FiscalMonthEnd = 12, MONTH([Date]),
IF( MONTH([Date]) <= FiscalMonthEnd, FiscalMonthEnd + MONTH([Date]), MONTH([Date]) - FiscalMonthEnd))
)
-- Add the Quarter and other quarter related data for each date
VAR Quarters = ADDCOLUMNS(
Months,
"Quarter",ROUNDUP(MONTH([Date])/3,0),
"Year and Quarter",[Year] & "-Q" & ROUNDUP(MONTH([Date])/3,0))
-- Add the Day and other day related data for each date
VAR Days = ADDCOLUMNS(
Quarters,
"Day",DAY([Date]),
"Day Name",FORMAT([Date],"DDDD"),
"Day Of Week",WEEKDAY([Date]),
"Day Of Year", DATEDIFF (DATE(YEAR([Date]),1,1), [Date], DAY) + 1)
-- Add the Week (assuming each week starts on a Sunday) and other week related data for each date
VAR Weeks = ADDCOLUMNS(
Days,
"Week Of Month (Sunday)",INT((DAY([Date])-1)/7)+1,
"Week of Year (Sunday)",WEEKNUM([Date],1),
"Year and Week (Sunday)",[Year] & "-W" & WEEKNUM([Date],1))
-- Add an 'Is Working Day' column which will be true for all days but Saturday and Sunday.
var WorkingDays = ADDCOLUMNS(
Weeks,
"Is Working Day", NOT WEEKDAY( [Date] ) IN {1,7})
RETURN WorkingDays
I hope this helps!
