Constant value for denominator using measure

Hello All,

 

I am working with data set where I have youth_ID, start_date, end_date, region (table with duplicate youth_id). I have sliclers for start_date, end_date, region. Now, I want to create card where if user select a particular region for particular date range the card should display percent of youth in that region based on the total count of that time range.

 

eg. I have total 1035 unique youth's in dataset. If I select particular date range for a region deominator should remain constant (eg. theer are 25 unique youth's after Jan 1, 2021) and numberator will change as per the selections.

 

I calutated numerator and denominator using below formula:

numCALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('part-2_YA_engagement'[youth_id]))

denCALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('part-2_YA_engagement'[youth_id]),ALL('part-2_YA_engagement'[region]))

per = num/den

 

I above approch my denominator changes as I select different regions.

 

Please advice on how Can I do this calculations.

@saurabhpore , Try like

 

numCALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('part-2_YA_engagement'[youth_id]))

denCALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('part-2_YA_engagement'[youth_id]),ALL('part-2_YA_engagement'))

per = num/den

hello,

 

I tried that approach but it gives me total unique youths rather than unique  youth count for selected slicers. 

@saurabhpore ,Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data. with couple of use case
