    Hi, cgallegos 

     

    You can refer to the following methods.

    Occurence = 
CALCULATE (
    COUNT ( 'Table'[Action] ),
    FILTER (
        'Table',
        [Name] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[Name] )
            && [Effective Date ] <= EARLIER ( 'Table'[Effective Date ] )
            && [Action] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[Action] )
    )
)

    Is this the result you expect?  If the method I provided above can't solve your problem, what's your expected result? You can advance a display chart of your desired results or a simple PBIX file for testing.

Hi,

Try something like this:

var c_date = MAX('Calendar'[Date])
var _value = COUNTROWS(
FILTER(Hires,Hires[Hire Date]<=c_date &&Hires[Term Date]>=c_date))

+
COUNTROWS(
FILTER(Hires,Hires[ReHire Date]<=c_date&&Hires[Rehire Date]>Hires[Term Date]))
return

if(_value=BLANK(),0,_value)

 
The IF at the end is optional and you can just use _value.

I hope this post helps to solve your issue and if it does consider accepting it as a solution and giving the post a thumbs up!

Thank you for your help, I appreciate it. This did not work, however, i don't believe it's on your end. I think the data I have is more complex than I was thinking and will require us to use a different report. 

 

For each action such as a Termination or Hire, the employee will have a new row. Is there another way to capture headcount like this? I am thinking something like finding the 1st instance of Hire and 1st instance of termination, then seeing if they were active at the dashboard selected point in time? If not, then check the 2nd instance of hire/rehire and 2nd instance of termination, check to see if they were active at the dashboard selected point in time?

 

Green column is what I need to build in PBI.

 

Empl IDNameActionEffective Date Occurence
252ChuckHIRE03/09/20201
252ChuckTERM08/10/20201
252ChuckHIRE04/10/20212
252ChuckTERM08/27/20212
253KayHIRE04/15/20201
253KayTERM08/14/20201
253KayHIRE09/08/20202

 

Then maybe I can create another table that looks up their various hire and term dates

Empl ID1st Hire1st Term2nd Term2nd Term
25203/09/202008/10/202004/10/202108/27/2021
25304/15/202008/14/202009/08/2020 

 

Please let me know if this is something you can help with or if you need additional background on it.

 

Thank you!
