Backlog per day calculus

Hello all!!!!

 

I'm trying to calculate the backlog per day. The idea is to know exactly how many tickets are still open for each day. I created a new table (Dates) and I tried a solution with a cummulative using these formulas:

 

Dates = calendarauto()
OpenCount = COUNTROWS(filter(Data; Data[CREATION_DATE_UT].[Date] in DATESMTD(Dates[Date])))
CloseCount = COUNTROWS(filter(Data; Data[END_DATE_UT].[Date] in DATESMTD(Dates[Date])))
Backlog = Dates[OpenCount]-Dates[CloseCount]

 

The problem here is that the calculus resets when we change from month to month.

 

DateOpenCountCloseCountBacklog
29/01/2016 0:0046543951703
30/01/2016 0:0046563951705
31/01/2016 0:0046563951705
01/02/2016 0:0029026327
02/02/2016 0:0056551352
03/02/2016 0:0080673769

 

I tried DATESYTD to but it has the same problem when we change from one year to another, it resets the cummulative count.

Could you please help me? Thanks a lot!!! 🙂

Take a look at these two Quick Measures as I think you want something like them. I have one called Open Tickets.
