Trying to identify clients who have not engaged with a service before (but may have already engaged with another service so are already in the database). Have previously managed this with SQL but not sure how to convert to DAX.
The SQL looks lit this:
set @StartDate = '20190401'
set @EndDate = '20200331'
set @service = 'SWRK'
select * from
(
--Total
select a.actiontypeid Service, 'Total Clients Seen' ColumnName, count(distinct a.personid) as [Count],'' as [ ]
from resadm.action A
inner join resadm.Person P on P.PersonID = A.PersonID
where a.dateofaction >= @StartDate
and a.dateofaction <= @EndDate
--and a.status='A'
--and P.RecClassID = 'CCM'
and a.actiontypeid in ('AODAD','AODYTH','WWO','HDX','CMH','TH1')
and a.actiontypeid = @service
group by a.actiontypeid
union
--Total New
select a.actiontypeid Service, 'Total New Clients' ColumnName, count(distinct a.personid) as [Count],'' as [ ]
from resadm.action A
inner join resadm.Person P on P.PersonID = A.PersonID
left join resadm.action A2 on A2.PersonID = A.PersonID and A2.DateOfAction < @StartDate
where a.dateofaction >= @StartDate
and a.dateofaction <= @EndDate
--and a.status='A'
--and P.RecClassID = 'CCM'
and A2.ActionID is null
and a.actiontypeid in ('AODAD','AODYTH','WWO','HDX','CMH','TH1')
and a.actiontypeid = @service
group by a.actiontypeid
