Calculate column percentage from calculated column

I need to calculate the percentage of calculated column B, based on column A +B. I have two calculated columns, each one for a customer segment.

A - Column Retention = Customers that had their first purchase before 2021

 

Formula:

 

Vendas clientes Retenção < 2021 =
VAR m = 'Base Clientes e Pedidos'[Data_primeiro_pedido]
RETURN
CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('Base Clientes e Pedidos'[id_pedido_promob]),
FILTER('Base Clientes e Pedidos', m <= DATE(2021,01,01)))

 

 

 


B - Column New Clientes = Customers that had their first purchase after 2021

Formula:
Vendas clientes novos >2021 =
VAR m = 'Base Clientes e Pedidos'[Data_primeiro_pedido]
RETURN
CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('Base Clientes e Pedidos'[id_pedido_promob]),
FILTER('Base Clientes e Pedidos', m >= DATE(2021,01,01)))

 



I'm having a hard time to calculate the percentage % of new clients based on the calculated columns. 

What i need: B/(A+B)

I've tried:

 

% Venda para Novos =
VAR m = 'Base Clientes e Pedidos'[Data_primeiro_pedido]
RETURN
DIVIDE(CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('Base Clientes e Pedidos'[id_pedido_promob]),
FILTER('Base Clientes e Pedidos', m >= DATE(2021,01,01)
)
), DISTINCTCOUNT('Base Clientes e Pedidos'[id_pedido_promob])
)

 

 

 

But it doesn't work as expected, returning the value of column B instead of B/(A+B)

Do you really create two calculated columns or measures? 

You can try this:

 

MEASURE =
VAR m = 'Base Clientes e Pedidos'[Data_primeiro_pedido]
VAR _2021 =
CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('Base Clientes e Pedidos'[id_pedido_promob]),
FILTER('Base Clientes e Pedidos', m <= DATE(2021,01,01)))

VAR _2022 =

CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('Base Clientes e Pedidos'[id_pedido_promob]),
FILTER('Base Clientes e Pedidos', m > DATE(2021,01,01)))

RETURN 

_2021/(_2021+_2022)

 

If it not work. Please post your underlaying data structure and where do you want to use this measure.

AND be aware of <= and >=. In This case you will count rows with 2021-01-01 twice!

I've tried both solutions, but it doesn't allow me to filter data to each Sales Person 

As follow:

matheusppedroso_0-1679339694800.png

 

Change ...

FILTER(ALL('Base Clientes e Pedidos'), 'Base Clientes e Pedidos'[Data_primeiro_pedido]

To...

FILTER(ALL('Base Clientes e Pedidos'[Data_primeiro_pedido]), 'Base Clientes e Pedidos'[Data_primeiro_pedido]

Try the following...

% Venda para Novos =
VAR B = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('Base Clientes e Pedidos'[id_pedido_promob]),
FILTER(ALL('Base Clientes e Pedidos'), 'Base Clientes e Pedidos'[Data_primeiro_pedido] >= DATE(2021,01,01)))

VAR A = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('Base Clientes e Pedidos'[id_pedido_promob]),
FILTER(ALL('Base Clientes e Pedidos'), 'Base Clientes e Pedidos'[Data_primeiro_pedido] < DATE(2021,01,01)))

RETURN DIVIDE(B,A+B,0)
