Count rows filtered table

[Naomig2088]

Hi,

I have a table of employees which is filtered using a relative date (employee left employment in last 12 month). Is there a way to count based on this filter? Similarly, if the filter was to change to the last 6 months, for example, would the count function work dynamically? Thanks!

Hi @Naomig2088 

My sample:

1. Create a measure as follows and put measure into card visual.

count = COUNT('Table'[employee])

2. Make the following settings for card visual.

You can also try the following:

1. Create a slicer table as shown in the screenshot.

2. Create several measures as follow:

Measure = IF(SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Date]) >= MIN('Date'[Date]) && SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Date]) <= MAX('Table'[Date]), 1, 0)

count1 = COUNTX(FILTER('Table', [Measure] = 1), 'Table'[employee])

Is this the result you expect?

Thank you so much- this works for creating a dynamic count. The issue I'm having is that I'm trying to count at a point in time. My data shows employment start date and end date, but I need the outcome to be number of records at a point in time e.g. number of records as at 1st Jan 2024. Is this possible?

Thank you for your continued help.

Hi @Naomig2088 

I would like to apologize for the belated reply.

I modified my sample.

Date table:

Employee table:

Then I ran the following test:

1. Create several measures as follow

Measure = IF(SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Date]) >= MIN('Date'[Date]) && SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Date]) <= MAX('Date'[Date]), 1, 0)

count = COUNTX(FILTER('Table', 'Table'[Date] >= MIN('Date'[Date]) && 'Table'[Date] <= MAX('Date'[Date])), 'Table'[employee])

2. Put the measure into the filter so that the visual only shows data where the measure is equal to 1.

The role of the slicer is to filter out the previous 12 months or the previous 6 months of data.

Is this the result you expect?

Hello Naomie, 
If a understand correctly, 
You can dynamically count the employee left in the last 12 month by using a mesure 
 __Mesure =

CALCULATE (

       COUNT(IdEmployee)

       ,DATESINPERIOD(

             Table[Date],

            ,LASTDATE(Table[Date])

            ,-12, MONTH

        )

    )

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I'm getting the following error message when I use the above measure:

Here is the measure I've used:

Staff Count = CALCULATE(COUNT(Staff[EmploymentId]),DATESINPERIOD(Staff[EmploymentStartDate],LASTDATE(Staff[EmploymentStartDate]),-12,MONTH))

Can you please advise further?

Many thanks!
