I want to calculate daily new user # - new user definition is 1) Purchased on that day and 2) No purchase in last week (from day -7 to day-1).  To do this, need to calculate "# of ID" in last week(from day -7 to day -1) by each date and ID then if this count is '0', then it will be new user.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

According to your description, here are my steps you can follow as a solution.

(1) My test data is the same as yours.

(2) We can create calculated columns.

Date -7 = [Order date]-7
Date -1 = [Order date]-1
# of order in last week (day -6 to day -1) = 
 var _a=CONVERT(COUNTROWS(FILTER('Table','Table'[ID]=EARLIER('Table'[ID]) && 'Table'[Order date]<=EARLIER('Table'[Date -1]) && 'Table'[Order date] >=EARLIER('Table'[Date -7]))),STRING)
 var _b=IF(_a=BLANK(),"0",_a)
 return IF([Order date]<DATE(2024,1,1),"n/a",_b)
New user = IF([# of order in last week (day -6 to day -1)]="0","new user")

(3) We can create a measure.

Count = IF(COUNT('Table'[New user])=BLANK(),0,COUNT('Table'[New user]))

(4) Then the result is as follows.

hi, @Anonymous 

try below code for new column 

Column = 
var a = MINX( FILTER(newcustomer,[Order date]>=EARLIER(newcustomer[Order date])-7),[Order date])
var a1 = MIN(newcustomer[Order date])+7
var b = MAXX(FILTER(newcustomer,newcustomer[Order date]<=EARLIER(newcustomer[Order date])-1),[Order date])
var c = CALCULATETABLE(VALUES(newcustomer[ID ]),newcustomer[Order date]>=a,newcustomer[Order date]<=b,REMOVEFILTERS())
return
IF(newcustomer[Order date]<a1,BLANK(),IF(newcustomer[ID ] in c ,BLANK(),1))+0
