Hello,
Thank you in advance for helping me with the below issue. Please find the sample data given below and I would like to calculate the count of return customers within 2 years from a previous purchase.
Ex: If customer 1st purchase dated 01/Jan/2016 and next purchase dated 01/Jul/2017... I should get the count of the customer as a return.
Order No | Order Date | Customer | Rev Class |
111 | 01-Jan-16 | ABC | Apple |
111 | 01-Jan-16 | ABC | Orange |
222 | 01-Jan-16 | XYZ | Orange |
333 | 10-Jul-16 | ABC | Orange |
444 | 01-Jul-17 | YRP | Apple |
555 | 25-Aug-17 | ABC | Orange |
666 | 10-Jul-18 | XYZ | Orange |
777 | 08-Aug-18 | YRP | Apple |
779 | 30-Sep-18 | ABC | Orange |
888 | 10-Sep-19 | XYZ | Orange |
888 | 10-Sep-19 | XYZ | Apple |
999 | 25-Sep-19 | ABC | Orange |
Expected count for Return Customers | ||||
2016 | 2017 | 2018 | 2019 | |
ABC | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
XYZ | 1 | |||
YRP | 1 |
Please do the needful

Hi, @ManjunathaEP
Thank you for your feedback.
I am not 100% sure how your desired outcome looks like in the Calculated Column, but please check the below picture and the link down below.
Expected Result CC =
VAR currentorderno = 'Table'[Order No]
VAR currentdate = 'Table'[Order Date]
RETURN
IF (
COUNTROWS (
FILTER (
'Table',
'Table'[Customer] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[Customer] )
&& 'Table'[Order No] <> currentorderno
&& 'Table'[Order Date]
>= DATE ( YEAR ( currentdate ) - 2, MONTH ( currentdate ), DAY ( currentdate ) )
&& 'Table'[Order Date] < currentdate
)
) > 0,
"return",
"new"
)

Thank you so much for your support, unfortunately, it did not work for me for all the years. It calculated only for 2016 and 2017 and no values after 2018. I inserted a new column and calculated another method like below... but this measure also not worked correctly for 2019... can u please help on this.
Measure I used to create new column:
Hi, @ManjunathaEP
Thank you for your feedback.
My formula is for creating a calculated measure, not a calculated column. The expected result that was shown in the initial question was a matrix type. So, I thought you wanted to see it by creating a measure, not a calculated column.
Hi Jihwan, I am sorry for the confusion. Yes, I requested help on the calculated measure. Later, I was working on the other alternatives and I tried creating a calculated column. If possible, request you to help and correct me the calculated column measure.
You are always supportive, thank you so much for your guidance.
