Dear Community,
during any given time I'm trying to create a measure that will help me count the actives of N Days Ago
for example, during 3rd of Jan if I want to count of actives 2 days ago it would be 8.
and 4-Jan (current)(8) minus 1-Jan (2 days)(6) ago would be = 8 (Active Occurances) - 6 (Active Occurances) = 5

I'm using days as an example but what I really want is to go back months behind.
So Far I've tried a simple Date Count.
Count_Measure = CALCULATE(COUNT(Table[Date]),LASTDATE(date(year(Table[Date]),MONTH(Table[Date]),DAY(Table[Date])-2)))
it didn't work
thanks in advance
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Anonymous
I think you can build two slicer to select the date you need in your measure.
Build two calculated tables to create slicer.
Current Date = VALUES('Table'[Date])
Previous Date = VALUES('Table'[Date])
Measure:
Difference =
VAR _Previous =
SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Previous Date'[Date] )
VAR _Current =
SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Current Date'[Date] )
VAR _CountPreviousActive =
CALCULATE (
COUNTROWS ( 'Table' ),
'Table'[Date] = _Previous,
'Table'[Active] = "Active"
)
VAR _CountCurrentActive =
CALCULATE (
COUNTROWS ( 'Table' ),
'Table'[Date] = _Current,
'Table'[Active] = "Active"
)
RETURN
ABS ( _CountCurrentActive - _CountPreviousActive )
Result is as below.

@Anonymous Seems like if you have a date range slicer you could do something like this:
Measure =
VAR __MaxDate = MAX('Date'[Date])
VAR __MinDate = MIN('Date'[Date])
RETURN
COUNTROWS(FILTER('Table',[Date]<=__MaxDate && [Date] >=__MinDate && [Active]="Active"))
thank you for your quick reply,
im not after a range, im trying to compare between two individual dates
@Anonymous Whether a date range slicer or not, the same logic applies. Get a date somehow. Use simple math like [Date] - 30 or a whole host other other ways to caclulate your other date. Might help if I understood what you actually wanted as output because the example you provided doesn't make any sense 8 - 3 = 5, I have no idea where you are getting those numbers from the sample data provided.
Correction: it would be 8-6
number of actives in 4th of jan minus number of actives in 1st of jan
I'm imagining something like this
Calculate(Count(Date[Date]), Date[Date] = Date[Date] - 3)
But obviously, this didn't work
