19 | 1-Apr-24 | 10541 | Idrees | 45555887781 | 25-Mar-24 | He was hired in March 2024 but was included in April 2024 payroll. I want him to be counted in the month of March 2024 only as per hiring date |
20 | 1-Apr-24 | 10557 | Waseem | 45555887776 | 1-Apr-24 | Confirmed with new Emp ID |
21 | 1-Apr-24 | 10558 | khurram | 45555887777 | 1-Apr-24 | Confirmed with new Emp ID |
1- Imtiaz and safdar joined in Jan 2024 and confirmed in Mar 2024 with a new emp ID, CNIC is the same. I do not want to count them in March 2024 because they were already counted in Jan 2024. (That i have already done with DAX ), result as follows:
Months | Result |
Jan | 2 |
Feb | 2 |
Mar | 1 |
Apr | 0 |
2 - However, Mr. idrees who was joined in March 2024 is not being counted since he has been added in the Payroll of April 2024
I want his count reflects in the month of March 2024 but the with aforemention DAX he is not refelecting in March 2024 neither in April 2024
Months | Result | Required |
Jan | 2 | 2 |
Feb | 2 | 2 |
Mar | 1 | 2 |
Apr | 0 | 0 |
Please help in this regards and suggest the DAX where my both 1 and 2 condition gets fulfilled so that i can move forward quickly.

Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Saad_Hanif456 ,
Try this.
Measure =
VAR _a = MIN('Calendar'[Date])
var _b = EOMONTH(_a,0)
RETURN
CALCULATE(
DISTINCTCOUNT(Payroll[CNIC ]),
FILTER(ALL(Payroll),[Firsthiringdate] >= _a && 'Payroll'[Firsthiringdate] <= _b)
)
Dear @Anonymous ,
Perfect brother.
Thank you so much.

Hi @Saad_Hanif456 ,
Regarding your question, I checked the data. Did you miss 'Arbaas'? He should be counted as a new employee in February, right?
Please follow these steps:
1.Delete the relationship between tables. It affects filtering.
2.Use the following DAX expression to create a measure
Measure =
VAR _a = MIN('Calendar'[Date])
var _b = EOMONTH(_a,0)
RETURN
CALCULATE(
DISTINCTCOUNT(Payroll[CNIC ]),
FILTER(
Payroll,
Payroll[firsthiringdate] >= _a &&
Payroll[firsthiringdate] <= _b))
3.Final output

Dear @Anonymous ,
Thank you so much for the help but i need the relationship in Calendar [Date] with Payroll [Payroll Month] active so that my other DAX would not get impacted..
Yes, you are right, I missed Mr. Arbass, he should be reflected in month of Feb 2024
Do you have any other idea with active relationship?

Saad Hanif
Dear @Anonymous ,
It is not working in my sheet , i tired the same.
It will not be benefical for me because I have a slicer of Calendar [Month] and Calendar [Year], if I use the new calendar table Table[date] for the sake of DAX Works that Calendar table slicer will not work accordingly.
Therefore, I need the relation active with the same Payroll [Payroll Month] and Calender [Date] and uses DAX so that the silcer could also work accordingly.
Hi @Saad_Hanif456 ,
Try this.
Measure =
VAR _a = MIN('Calendar'[Date])
var _b = EOMONTH(_a,0)
RETURN
CALCULATE(
DISTINCTCOUNT(Payroll[CNIC ]),
FILTER(ALL(Payroll),[Firsthiringdate] >= _a && 'Payroll'[Firsthiringdate] <= _b)
)
Dear @Anonymous,
What if i want to look in the following way in the table visual:
Column Names:
Month - Names - Count
Then what should be added in the same DAX.

Dear @Anonymous ,
Brother, I just want the following Column Names in the Table Visual:
For example:
Month | Name | Count
Not a need of concatenate it.
Actually, when i am adding the Payroll[Name] Column in the table Visual alongwith Payroll[Month] and [New HIre DAX] that DAX does not show that New Hires Name.
