    Hi Txtcher ,

    To filter visuals for only FY2024-approved applications, follow these steps:

     

    • Create a measure that checks if the applicationā€™s license issuance date falls between September 1, 2023, and August 31, 2024. If so, it returns 1 (approved for FY2024), otherwise 0. 
    • Add the Is FY2024 Approved measure to the visual-level filters of your matrix and set it to show only records where the value equals 1.
    • To calculate the days between the "Submitted and Paid" and "Response Required" dates, ensure both dates are not blank and that the start date is less than or equal to the end date. If these conditions hold, use the DATEDIFF function to calculate the days.
    • Use the CALCULATE function with the AVERAGE function to calculate the average of the "Days Submitted to Response" measure, but only for records where the application is approved for FY2024.

     

    This ensures that your milestones and averages are correctly filtered for FY2024-approved applications.

    Hope it helps!

Hi Txtcher ,
Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Fabric Community Forum.

To better understand the issue and help identify the root cause, could you please provide a small sample of your data from the NFA Apps, HX (History), FEES, and FY2024 Calendar tables?

Just a few representative rows from each would be really helpful.

Do not include sensitive information. Do not include anything that is unrelated to the issue or question.
Please show the expected outcome based on the sample data you provided.

Thank you for your response. Here are samples of the tables:

I think this is what would be described as the dimension table:  NFA Apps. This is all applications with a status of approved. For each of these apps, I need to create milestone timelines based on the history.

IdNameAccount_Record_Type__cApplication_Status__cApplication_Type__cDate_Submitted__c
aAB8y00000009heGAARSLAN-0032993Licensing ApplicantApprovedNFA - Initialnull
aAB8y0000000BmlGAERSLAN-0000033159Licensing ApplicantApprovedNFA - Initial05/10/2024

This is the application history table called HX. the ParentId column matches the Id column from NFA Apps (above).

This is the FEE table. From this table I can collect when the app was submitted based on the Application fee. I can also collect when the License fee was paid (part of the timeline I need to create).

I created my calendar table with this formula:  

FY2024 DATES = CALENDAR(DATE(2023, 9, 1),DATE(2024, 8, 31))

    TMI, but here it is: These are the milestones I need to find for all applications that had a license issued in FY2024 (see calendar table above). I have created measures for each.

    Milestone

    Source table / field(s) / parameter

    Measure

    Submitted & Paid

    Fees - Date payment was received FEE TYPE:  Application Fee

    Submitted and Paid = CALCULATE(
        MIN([Date_payment_was_received__c]),
        FILTER(FEES,[Fee_Type__c]="Application Fee"),
                ALLEXCEPT('FEES',FEES[Credentialing_Application__c])) 

    Response Required

    HX - Min CreatedDate for [NewValue]=RESPONSE REQUIRED 

    Response Required = CALCULATE(
        Min([CreatedDate]),
        FILTER(HX,[NewValue]="Response Required"),
                ALLEXCEPT('HX','HX'[ParentId]))

    In Review

    HX  - Max CreatedDate of [NewValue]=IN REVIEW 

    In Review = CALCULATE(
        MAX([CreatedDate]),
        FILTER(HX,[NewValue]="In Review"),
                ALLEXCEPT('HX','HX'[ParentId]))

    In Process

    HX - Max CreatedDate of [NewValue]=IN PROCESS 

    In Process = CALCULATE(
        MAX([CreatedDate]),
        FILTER(HX,[NewValue]="In Process"),
                ALLEXCEPT('HX','HX'[ParentId]))

    License Fee Checkbox

    HX - CreatedDate for [Field]=Initiate License Fee / [NewValue]=True

    License Fee Checkbox = CALCULATE(
        Min([CreatedDate]),
        FILTER(HX,[Field]="Initiate_License_Fee__c"),
                ALLEXCEPT('HX','HX'[ParentId]))

    License Fee Paid

    FEES - Date payment was received FEE TYPE: License Fee

    License Fee Paid = CALCULATE(
        MIN([Date_payment_was_received__c]),
        FILTER(FEES,[Fee_Type__c]="License Fee"),
                ALLEXCEPT('FEES',FEES[Credentialing_Application__c]))

    License Issued

    HX - CreatedDate of [NewValue]=Approved

    License Issued = CALCULATE(
        Min([CreatedDate]),
        FILTER(HX,[NewValue]="Approved"),
                ALLEXCEPT('HX','HX'[ParentId]))

    The measures work, but I do not know how to filter the matrix (I think that's what you call my table visualization) for only those apps with a license issued in FY2024. I am not experienced enough to understand how to get there using the measures above and the calendar table. šŸ˜‘

    Next: calculate the number of days in between each milestone (also inserted into the matrix). Sample:

    From Submitted and Paid to Response Required =
    VAR Milestone1 = DATEDIFF(FEES[Submitted and Paid],HX[Response Required],DAY)
    RETURN
    If(
        Milestone1 < 0,
        BLANK(),
        if(
            Milestone1 = 0,
            1,
            Milestone1)
        )
    Finally, I need a separate visual that provides the average number of days between milestones for each app type (only apps with a license issued in FY2024). A second problem in that I do not know how to filter the matrix for FY2024.
