Hi
I need some help with a measure please! I have two tables as below. Table 1 shows a list of contracts that can renew leading to multiple rows for the same contract but with start/end dates to differentiate them. Table 2 has a list of incidents that have occurred on those contracts by date. How can I create a measure to show the incidents by contract linked to the incident date to give the required results in the bottom example? At the moment the two tables are only connected by contract number (I'm wondering if they need to be linked on the dates too?).
Thanks in advance for any help.
Table 1 | Table 2 | ||||
Contract Number | Contract Start | Contract End | Contract Number | Incident Date | |
1 | 01/01/2021 | 31/12/2021 | 1 | 13/01/2021 | |
1 | 01/01/2022 | 31/12/2022 | 1 | 15/05/2021 | |
2 | 01/01/2023 | 31/12/2023 | 1 | 20/05/2022 | |
3 | 01/07/2021 | 30/09/2021 | 3 | 15/11/2021 | |
3 | 01/10/2021 | 31/12/2021 | |||
3 | 01/01/2022 | 31/03/2022 | |||
Required Result | |||||
Contract Number | Contract Start | Contract End | Incidents | ||
1 | 01/01/2021 | 31/12/2021 | 2 | ||
1 | 01/01/2022 | 31/12/2022 | 1 | ||

Solved! Go to Solution.
you just need to write a measure as follows:
measure incident_count := calculate (count(incidentdate) , filter (table 2 , incidentdate >= selectedvalue(contractstart) && incidentdate<= selectedvalue(contractend))
