Hello everyone,
I have a table of active employees of each month like the following.
| Date | Employee |
| 2020/12/1 | David |
| 2020/12/1 | Jeff |
| 2020/12/1 | Marco |
| 2020/12/1 | Joy |
| 2020/12/1 | Peter |
| 2021/1/1 | David |
| 2021/1/1 | Jeff |
| 2021/1/1 | Marco |
| 2021/1/1 | Joy |
| 2021/1/1 | Jenny |
| 2021/1/1 | Kate |
| 2021/2/1 | Jeff |
| 2021/2/1 | Marco |
| 2021/2/1 | Joy |
| 2021/2/1 | Jenny |
| 2021/2/1 | Kate |
| 2021/2/1 | Aaron |
From 2020/12 to 2021/1, 1 person Peter left, and 2 people Jenny and Kate joined. From 2021/1 to 2021/2, David left and Aaron joined.
But if we were to look from 2020/12 to 2021/2, Peter and David left, and Jenny, Kate and Aaron joined.
I want to be able to show how many people joined and how many people left, and also the turnover rate of a date range.
I am sorry but I cannot think of a good way to do this. Need some help on this, thank you!
Best regards,
David

Hi @primolee,
Try the following formula to create measures:
Left =
var _First = MIN('Table'[Date])
var _Last = MAX('Table'[Date])
var Table1 =
SELECTCOLUMNS(
FILTER(
'Table',
'Table'[Date].[MonthNo] = MONTH(_First)
&&'Table'[Date].[Year] = YEAR(_First)
),
"Employee",
'Table'[Employee]
)
var Table2 =
SELECTCOLUMNS(
FILTER(
'Table',
'Table'[Date].[MonthNo] = MONTH(_Last)
&&'Table'[Date].[Year] = YEAR(_Last)
),
"Employee",
'Table'[Employee]
)
return
COUNTAX(
EXCEPT(Table1,Table2),
[Employee]
)Joined =
var _First = MIN('Table'[Date])
var _Last = MAX('Table'[Date])
var Table1 =
SELECTCOLUMNS(
FILTER(
'Table',
'Table'[Date].[MonthNo] = MONTH(_First)
&&'Table'[Date].[Year] = YEAR(_First)
),
"Employee",
'Table'[Employee]
)
var Table2 =
SELECTCOLUMNS(
FILTER(
'Table',
'Table'[Date].[MonthNo] = MONTH(_Last)
&&'Table'[Date].[Year] = YEAR(_Last)
),
"Employee",
'Table'[Employee]
)
return
COUNTAX(
EXCEPT(Table2,Table1),
[Employee]
)
This is my PBIX file.

@primolee , is this like a snapshot table?
Check the approach of Month on Month using isblank for Customer Retention, that should help
