Hello Community!
I've been struggling for a few days with a running total measure.
So I have a dataset of issue ID, date, and status. It's an activity registry.
I'm trying to create a visual with running totals that counts a number of issues with per status. It should look like the graph below.
Running totals are simple, the problem is to do pre-filtering on the last status on a given date.
I managed to get the status of the latest TimeStamp by MAXX and then a value corresponding to that time by:
M_LastMainStatus_SELECTEDVALUE =
VAR _maxTimeStamp =
MAXX ( 'Table1', 'Table1'[TimeStamp] )
VAR _LastStatus =
CALCULATE (
SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table1'[Status] ),
'Table1'[TimeStamp] = _maxTimeStamp
)
RETURN
_LastMainStatus
This measure gives nice result in a table/matrix. However, I have a hard time incorporating it into a running total that 'says': on day one we had 5 active and 2 closed issues, on day two we had 4 active and 5 closed issues and so on.
Sample dataset below. An issue can be closed and active multiple times per day. It's a simplified version of my original table with more statuses (blanks included).
| ID | TimeStamp | Status |
1 | 01/01/2020 7:00 | Active |
| 1 | 01/01/2020 8:00 | Closed |
| 1 | 02/01/2020 8:00 | Active |
| 2 | 01/01/2020 10:00 | Active |
| 2 | 01/01/2020 11:00 | Closed |
| 2 | 02/01/2020 10:00 | Active |
| 2 | 02/01/2020 11:00 | Closed |
| 3 | 01/01/2020 7:00 | Active |
| 3 | 01/01/2020 8:00 | Active |
| 3 | 02/01/2020 10:00 | Closed |
| 3 | 02/01/2020 11:00 | Closed |
I've tried DAX to combine CALCULATE, FILTER, COUNTROWS, SELECEDVALUE, ALL but I did not come close desired result. Existing topics on the forum didn't help either.
Do you have any suggestions? Have you ever faced a similar task?
I'd appreciate any kind of help!
Cheers,
Nicram
@Nicram , Create a new date table and join it with date part of time stamp
new column
Date = datevalue([TimeStamp])
then try measures like
open = calculate(countrows(Table), Filter(all('Date'),'Date'[Date] <= Max('Date'[Date] )), filter(Table, Table[Status] = "Active")) -
calculate(countrows(Table), Filter(all('Date'),'Date'[Date] <= Max('Date'[Date] )), filter(Table, Table[Status] = "Closed"))
Active = calculate(countrows(Table),filter(Table, Table[Status] = "Active"))
closed = calculate(countrows(Table), filter(Table, Table[Status] = "Closed"))
