Hello,

 

I'm not sure why I am not getting this so I could please use some help.  I have the following dataset:

Task NamePlanned
Count
Planned
Finish
Commit
Count
Commit
Finish
Actual
Count
Actual
Finish
task 111/29/20210 11/29/2021
task218/28/20200 18/28/2020
task312/16/20210 12/16/2021
task419/11/20200 19/11/2020
task518/27/2021110/1/20210 
task614/30/20210 14/30/2021
task711/29/20210 11/29/2021
task817/30/202118/20/20210 
task916/7/20210 16/7/2021
task1017/19/202117/19/20210 
task1117/16/202118/6/20210 
task1217/23/202118/5/20210 
task1319/11/20200 19/11/2020

 

I need to be able to graph the following measures:

  1. Planned Count = starting at min value in Planned Finish, summing all Planned Count and decreasing to zero, including every day from a dates table so graphing is smooth
    1. example: starts at 8/28/20 with the first value of 13.  Stays at 13 until 9/11/20 where it drops to 11 (2 tasks completed on same day), then 10 on 1/29/21, etc. until it reachs zero on 8/27/21
  2. Commit Count = Same as Planned count, just counting items with non-blank values Commit Finish
  3. Actual Count = Same as Planned count, just counting items with non-blank values Actual Finish

Any assistance would be appreciated!

 

Thank you!!

@amitchandak While I admire your correct syntax your spelling of count might have missed something. ;-O

 

Unfortunately this produces lines that start with the first date in the date table instead of the first date where there is data and it also produces flat lines for actual.

 

After thinking about this a little more I realize my requirements change a little.  

 

The lines should be based on the original data:
Planned: starts at 8/28/2020 and steps down from 13 to 0
Actual: starts at 8/28/20 and starts at 13 and counts down 8
Commit: starts at 7/19/21 and starts at 5 and counts down to zero.

 

Actual + Commit = Planned

 

Start dates are always the first date where there is a count.

@jschaefer , I think you need

Reverse cumulative


Join all three dates with date table

 

then create measures like

 

planned = sum(Table[Planned Count])
Commit = calculate(sum(Table[Commit Count]), userelationship('Date'[date], Table[Commit Finish]), not(isblank(Table[Commit Finish])))
Actual = calculate(sum(Table[Commit Count]), userelationship('Date'[date], Table[Actual Finish]), not(isblank(Table[Actual Finish])))


planned **bleep** = calculate([planned], filter(allselected('Date'),'Date'[date] >=max('Date'[date])))
Commit **bleep** = calculate([Commit], filter(allselected('Date'),'Date'[date] >=max('Date'[date])))
Actual **bleep** = calculate([Actual], filter(allselected('Date'),'Date'[date] >=max('Date'[date])))

 

 

To get the best of the time intelligence function. Make sure you have a date calendar and it has been marked as the date in model view. Also, join it with the date column of your fact/s. Refer :radacad sqlbi My Video Series Appreciate your Kudos.
