Calculated Column Cumulative Total Days by Employee - Resetting Counter Based on Gaps in Employment

Hello,

 

I am having a hard time with this calculation.  I can calculate the total cumulative days employed, but want to reset the counter based on gaps in employment that are greater then 60 days.  

 

Here is the sample data.  I want to have the results in the last column.  If "Employment" = "Gap in Employment", then reset the counter on the subsequent row for this calculated column.

Here is the formula I use for the cumulative total.  How can I adjust this to reset the counter for days employed?

Thanks for your help,

Hi @CaseyM ,

 

I think you need to calcualte the cumlative total for each ID in group of "Gap in Employment". I suggest you to add a group column in Power Query Editor firstly.

let _Count =
List.Count(
let 
_ID = [Employee ID],
_Date = [Previous Check Date]
in
Table.SelectRows(#"Sorted Rows",each _ID = [Employee ID] and  _Date>=[Previous Check Date] and [Employment Status] = "Gap in Employment")[Previous Check Date])
in
if [Employment Status] = "Gap in Employment" then _Count else _Count+1

Calculated column:

Column =
VAR _Cumulative_Total =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( URP30300[Days Since Previous Check] ),
        FILTER (
            ALLEXCEPT ( URP30300, URP30300[Employee ID], URP30300[Group] ),
            URP30300[Previous Check Date] <= EARLIER ( URP30300[Previous Check Date] )
        )
    )
VAR _Result =
    IF ( URP30300[Employment Status] <> "Gap in Employment", _Cumulative_Total )
RETURN
    _Result

Result is as below.

hi @CaseyM 

try like:

Column =
VAR _start =
MINX(
    FILTER(
        UPR,
        UPR[DaysCheck]<60
            &&UPR[Date]<=EARLIER(UPR[Date])
            &&UPR[ID]=EARLIER(UPR[ID]) 
    ),
    UPR[Date]
)
RETURN
SUMX(
    FILTER(
        UPR,
        UPR[Date]>=_start
           &&UPR[Date]<=EARLIER(UPR[Date])
    ),
   UPR[DaysCheck] 
)
