I am trying to count the number of cases closed and logged in a date range using a DimDate calendar in my slicer.
DimDate is a Simple calendar table
Date,DateKey,Day,Month,Year
I then have a CentralTracker Table which contains all my cases.
PersRef,DateLogged,DateClosed,DateLogKey,DateClosedKey
I have relationships between
DimDate[DateKey] (1) to (*) CentralTracker[DateLogKey] - Active
DimDate[DateKey] (1) to (*) CentralTracker[DateClosedKey] - InActive
In nearly all instances I filter by Date Logged so it just works.
However, I would also like to just count the number of cases closed in the selected range, regardless of the date logged.
If I use the following piece of DAX, without filtering, I get the correct count of cases closed. But I can't filter this and get the cases clsoed ignoring the date logged.
VAR MinDate = MIN(DimDate[Date])
VAR MaxDate = MAX(DimDate[Date])
VAR Result =
CALCULATE(
COUNTROWS(Central_Tracker),
FILTER(Central_Tracker,
Central_Tracker[Date Case Closed] >= MinDate &&
Central_Tracker[Date Case Closed] <= MaxDate
)
)
RETURN
Result
Using this DAX I get 187 cases, which is correct.
When I Introduce USERELATIONSHIP into this to try and get it to filter by the close date rather than the date logged it breaks.
VAR MinDate = MIN(DimDate[Date])
VAR MaxDate = MAX(DimDate[Date])
VAR Result =
CALCULATE(
COUNTROWS(Central_Tracker),
USERELATIONSHIP(Central_Tracker[DateClosedKey],DimDate[DateKey]),
FILTER(Central_Tracker,
Central_Tracker[Date Case Closed] >= MinDate &&
Central_Tracker[Date Case Closed] <= MaxDate
)
)
RETURN
Result
Using this, again with no filters I get 11.
I would expect that without any filters applied that the two values would be the same.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Try this one:
VAR MinDate = MIN(Central_Tracker[DateClosedKey])
VAR MaxDate = MAX(Central_Tracker[DateClosedKey])
VAR Result =
CALCULATE(
COUNTROWS(Central_Tracker),
USERELATIONSHIP(Central_Tracker[DateClosedKey],DimDate[DateKey]),
FILTER(DimDate,
DimDate[DateKey] >= MinDate &&
DimDate[DateKey] <= MaxDate
)
)
RETURN
Result
Try this one:
VAR MinDate = MIN(Central_Tracker[DateClosedKey])
VAR MaxDate = MAX(Central_Tracker[DateClosedKey])
VAR Result =
CALCULATE(
COUNTROWS(Central_Tracker),
USERELATIONSHIP(Central_Tracker[DateClosedKey],DimDate[DateKey]),
FILTER(DimDate,
DimDate[DateKey] >= MinDate &&
DimDate[DateKey] <= MaxDate
)
)
RETURN
Result
Amazing, thank you this has worked but I don't get why?
In my head having the Variables as minimum and maximum date pulled from the central tracker doesn't make sense as I want the Min & Max date from the date table filter and then all closed dates that fall between this.
Any chance you can entertain me and explain why this works?
