Calculated column - creating partition based on multiple values
Hello all,
I am struggling with how to create one complex calculated column. Desired calculated column is in orange Active Channel Customer.
The idea is to use the column Active Channel Account to create a new column Active Channel Customer
- If the account is active in a specific month, then the Active Channel Account will be a channel for customer level - column Active Channel Customer
- If there are 2 types of channels then the value in the calculated column is going to be "both"
| Report Date | Account | Customer | Active | Active Channel Account | Active Channel Customer |
| 6/30/2022 | a1 | A | FALSE | Reseller | |
| 6/30/2022 | a2 | A | TRUE | Reseller | Reseller |
| 6/30/2022 | a3 | A | FALSE | Reseller | |
| 6/30/2022 | a4 | A | TRUE | Reseller | Reseller |
| 7/31/2022 | a1 | A | FALSE | Direct | |
| 7/31/2022 | a2 | A | FALSE | Direct | |
| 7/31/2022 | a3 | A | TRUE | Direct | Direct |
| 7/31/2022 | a4 | A | FALSE | Direct | |
| 6/30/2022 | b1 | b | TRUE | Direct | Both |
| 6/30/2022 | b2 | b | TRUE | Reseller | Both |
Any help or advice is welcome.
Thanks!
tomislav_mi , Try a new column like
new column =
var _1 = countx(filter(Table, [Customer] = earlier([Customer]) && [Report Date] = earlier([Report Date]) && [Active Channel] = "Reseller"), [Customer])
var _2 = countx(filter(Table, [Customer] = earlier([Customer]) && [Report Date] = earlier([Report Date]) && [Active Channel] = "Direct"), [Customer])
return
Switch(true(),
not(isblank(_1)) && not(isblank(_2)) , "Both",
not(isblank(_1)),"Reseller",
"Direct"
)
