Count rows in a fact table based on a column and a column in a dat table

have an IT helpdesk table that has one of its colums as Status(closed as ID 1 , open as ID 2, Inprogress as ID 3).

 

I created a date table with Year(2020, 2021, 2022, 2023), Qtr and month columns.

 

I want to calculate how many Closed tickets we have based on the ticket status and year 2023.

 

I tried CALCULATE(COUNT(table[status]), FILTER (Table, Table[status]] = 1 && Date[Year] = 3 but it's not working. 

 

My model looks okay, it's all 1 to many relationships. 

 

Someone pls help me and also explain the concept as well. 

 

Thank you

CALCULATE(

COUNTROWS (table),

Table[status] = 1,

Date[Year] = 2023

)

This assumes the date dimension is joined to the main table on ticket's close date/month. Otherwise will need a inactive relation to close date, and use USERELATIONSHIP to activate it in the measure

a date table needs a date column.

It has a date column which is connected to the date column on the Fact table
