Count of new customers by month

[KPerrySHI]

Hello All,

I'm looking to track when a customer makes its first purchase, and capture the month on a bar chart with month/year as the X-axis.

I can isolate the first purchase date, but when I apply it to the chart, the customer is counted again each month if they make another purchase. How do I just capture that first month they purchase in the visual?

_FirstOrder =

 CALCULATE (
    MIN ( DimDate[CalendarDate] ),
    ALLSELECTED ( DimDate[CalendarDate] ),
    FactOrderHistory
)

 

_CustomersConverted =
CALCULATE(
COUNT ( DimCustomers[CustomerID] ),
FILTER ( DimDate, NOT(ISBLANK([_FirstOrder] ) ) )
)

That DAX isn't right but that's how I can best express what I want it to do logically. I appreciate any advice.

Thank you for putting that together. I can't quite get it to work on my side yet, maybe because I'm connected to an analysis service and a different setup is being used, but I understand what you're trying to do here. Shame there isn't an out of the box solution for this, but I appreciate the effort.
