Please help me to write an excel COUNTIFS formula in Power BI table column. I've tried various ways to make it work with FILTER, COUNTROWS and etc. but didn't get desired result.
I have a table (below) and need to find patients who checked out or checked in at the clinic during January 2022 - March 2022.
Thanks in advance!

Hi @Edmundas ,
Here are the steps you can follow:
1. In Power query. Add Column – Index Column – From 1.
2. Create calculated column
Countifs =
VAR _count =
COUNTX (
FILTER (
ALL ( 'Table' ),
'Table'[Doctor] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[Doctor] )
&& YEAR ( 'Table'[Period] ) = YEAR ( EARLIER ( 'Table'[Period] ) )
&& MONTH ( 'Table'[Period] ) = MONTH ( EARLIER ( 'Table'[Period] ) )
),
[Doctor]
)
VAR _if =
IF (
MONTH ( 'Table'[Period] ) >= 1
&& MONTH ( 'Table'[Period] ) <= 3
&& YEAR ( 'Table'[Period] ) = 2022,
_count,
0
)
RETURN
IF (
_if < 2,
_if,
IF (
_if >= 2
&& 'Table'[Index]
= MINX (
FILTER (
ALL ( 'Table' ),
'Table'[Doctor] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[Doctor] )
&& YEAR ( 'Table'[Period] ) = YEAR ( EARLIER ( 'Table'[Period] ) )
&& MONTH ( 'Table'[Period] ) = MONTH ( EARLIER ( 'Table'[Period] ) )
),
[Index]
),
CALCULATE (
DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Table'[Doctor] ),
FILTER (
ALL ( 'Table' ),
'Table'[Doctor] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[Doctor] )
&& YEAR ( 'Table'[Period] ) = YEAR ( EARLIER ( 'Table'[Period] ) )
&& MONTH ( 'Table'[Period] ) = MONTH ( EARLIER ( 'Table'[Period] ) )
)
),
0
)
)
3. Result:
