Calculate 12/24 Month Difference from a Quarter

Hi,

I am facing a challenge: I have a table "fct_BASE" with the columns FAZID and DATE_PERFORMANCE. I need 2 measures that give me the count of FAZID from the end of the quarter. It is linked to a Calendar and another dimesnsion Table

 

The tabel ist structured as follows:

FAZIDDATE_PERFORMANCE
SYS000291018.07.2023
SYS000291017.08.2021
SYS000291025.10.2022
SYS000292004.05.2023
SYS000292009.12.2021
SYS000292015.10.2020
SYS000292020.07.2021
SYS000292020.07.2021
SYS000292020.07.2021


That is the Outcome of the two Measures underneath the table:

YearQuarter12 Mon24 Mon
202313335133351
202322844828448

 

These are the measures:

 

 

 

 

12_Mon:=
VAR Quarter_End = MAX(dim_Calendar[Date])
RETURN
CALCULATE (
COUNT ( fct_Base[FAZID] ),
ALL(fct_Base[DATE_PERFORMANCE]),
fct_Base[DATE_PERFORMANCE] >= Quarter_End - 365,
fct_Base[DATE_PERFORMANCE] <= Quarter_End
)

24_Mon:
=VAR Quarter_End = MAX(dim_Calendar[Date])
RETURN
CALCULATE (
COUNT ( fct_Base[FAZID] ),
ALL(fct_Base[DATE_PERFORMANCE]),
fct_Base[DATE_PERFORMANCE] >= Quarter_End - 730,
fct_Base[DATE_PERFORMANCE] <= Quarter_End
)

 

 

 

 

I don't understand why the values in the columns are identical.
Does anybody has a clue?
Thanks a thousand times in advance.

Regards

 

Björn

Hi @BjoernSchaefer 

 

Please try this. 

1st measure

Total Fazid = Count(fct_base[FAZID])

 

2nd measure using the measure previously

last 12 Months = CALCULATE (
    [Total Fazid],
    DATESINPERIOD ( 'DIM Date'[Date], MAX ( 'DIM Date'[Date] ), -12, MONTH )

 

3rd

 

last 24 Months = CALCULATE (
    [Total Fazid],
    DATESINPERIOD ( 'DIM Date'[Date], MAX ( 'DIM Date'[Date] ), -24, MONTH )

 

Thanks

Joe
