Hi @rohitchouhan ,

 

 Backlog =
var ClosedTckts = CALCULATE(COUNT('Table'[Close Date]),USERELATIONSHIP('Date'[Date],'Table'[Close Date]))

var OpenTckts= CALCULATE(COUNT('Table'[Open Date]),USERELATIONSHIP('Date'[Date],'Table'[Open Date]))

var Difference = ClosedTckts - OpenTckts

var Cumulative = FILTER(ALL('Date'),'Date'[Date]<=MAX('Date'[Date]))

var Backlog = CALCULATE(
SUMX('Date', Difference),
Cumulative)

return
Backlog

Hi @rohitchouhan ,

 

Assuming that you have a Date Table.

 

Can you share some sample data and your Data Model

I don't have a date table there,I just have created a date and closed date for tickets and a unique Incident ID.

My data source is excel here, which i am sharing here.

Assuming you have a Date table (e.g., with your Date Index from visual), you could try an expression like this to get the # of open items on any given day (in a table visual with your 'Date'[Date] column).

 

Open Incidents =
VAR __thisdate =
    MIN ( 'Date'[Date] ) //assuming you have one date in context min, max, sum won't matter
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        COUNTROWS ( Table ),
        ALL ( Table ),
        Table[Created Date] <= __thisdate,
        Table[Closed Date] > __thisdate
    )

 

If this works for you, please mark it as the solution.  Kudos are appreciated too.  Please let me know if not.

Regards,

Pat
