Getting consistent customers

Hi!

Im a beginner in PowerBI.

 

I need help in creating this view.

Suppose I have this transactional dataset.

 

JLMJ_0-1659925251044.png

 

What I want to get are the counts of customers with consistent transaction for the past 3 months, 6 months, and even 12 months (relative to the month of reference and category)

 

Here's the result I would want to achieve:

JLMJ_1-1659925325796.png

 

I think this can be resolved through DAX but let I am open with any suggestions.

 

Thanks!!

Hi,

Please check the below picture and the attached pbix file.

I tried to create a sample pbix file like below.

Past 3 months consistent customers count: = 
VAR _selectedcategory =
    VALUES ( Category[Category] )

    EOMONTH ( _selectedmonthenddate, - _pastmonthsnumberselect ) + 1

Thanks to the great efforts by MS engineers to simplify syntax of DAX! Most beginners are SUCCESSFULLY MISLED to think that they could easily master DAX; but it turns out that the intricacy of the most frequently used RANKX() is still way beyond their comprehension!

DAX is simple, but NOT EASY!

@JLMJ , Have date table, and have month year in your table/sales table

 

Sales Month = format([Date], "YYYYMM")

 

Rolling 3= CALCULATE(distinctcount(Sales[Sales Month]),DATESINPERIOD('Date'[Date ],MAX('Date'[Date ]),-3,MONTH))

 

Continue in the last three months

countx(filter(Values(Sales[Customer]) , [Rolling 3]=3) , [Customer])

 

Same way change rolling to 6, 12 to get the number

 


To get the best of the time intelligence function. Make sure you have a date calendar and it has been marked as the date in model view. Also, join it with the date column of your fact/s. Refer :radacad sqlbi My Video Series Appreciate your Kudos.
