Hello,
I am trying to calculate the number/percentage of audits of a team as they are audited over a time period. I have been struggling with an efficient way to accomplish this task and I'm not making any more progress. I apologize in advance, because this is a long one. Here's what I'm working with:
My sources:
Table 1. Employee Roster:
| Date | Employee ID | Department |
| 2/27 | Employee1 | Produce |
| 2/27 | Employee2 | Produce |
| 2/27 | Employee3 | Deli |
| 2/27 | Employee4 | Deli |
| 2/27 | Employee5 | Produce |
| 2/27 | Employee6 | Bakery |
| 2/27 | Employee7 | Bakery |
| 2/20 | Employee1 | Produce |
| 2/20 | Employee2 | Produce |
| 2/20 | Employee3 | Deli |
| 2/20 | Employee8 | Deli |
| 2/20 | Employee9 | Deli |
| 2/20 | Employee10 | Bakery |
I have a measure to calculate the number of employees in each department. I use COUNTROWS to return a roster size by department:
Measure Result - Department Employee Count:
| Date | Department | # of Employees |
| 2/27 | Produce | 3 |
| 2/27 | Deli | 2 |
| 2/27 | Bakery | 2 |
| 2/20 | Produce | 2 |
| 2/20 | Deli | 3 |
| 2/20 | Bakery | 1 |
These employees are periodically audited for cleanliness.
Table 2. Audit Results:
| Date | Employee | Department | Result |
| 2/27 | Employee1 | Produce | Pass |
| 2/21 | Employee4 | Deli | Pass |
| 2/20 | Employee2 | Produce | Pass |
| 2/19 | Employee8 | Deli | Fail |
| 2/15 | Employee7 | Bakery | Pass |
My desired outcome:
Slicers: Date Slicer (choose week/month/quarter)
| Dates | Department | # of Employees (as of first date of measuring period) | Audited | Remaining |
| 2/1 - 2/27 | Deli | 3 | 2 | 1 |
| 2/1 - 2/27 | Bakery | 2 | 1 | 1 |
| 2/1 - 2/27 | Produce | 3 | 1 | 2 |
| 2/1 - 2/19 | Deli | 3 | 1 | 2 |
| 2/1 - 2/19 | Bakery | 2 | 1 | 1 |
| 2/1 - 2/19 | Produce | 3 | 0 | 3 |
My challenge(s):
Thank you for reading, and thank you for any guidance you may be able to provide!
@Anonymous Can you provide any more clarification on your proposed solution? I would greatly appreciate it!
@AnonymousHello and thank you for the answer! I'm trying to work my way through the steps and I've encountered a couple of error messages:
In the "Add a week and count to Audit Results" step, the following code:
count = COUNTX(FILTER(ALL('Audit Results'),'Audit Results'[week]=EARLIER('Audit Results'[week])&&'Audit Results'[Department]=EARLIER('Audit Results'[Department])),[Department])returns an error that says, "EARLIER/EARLIEST refers to an earlier row context which doesn't exist."
Secondly, when I use this code:
Audited =
var _min=MINX(ALLSELECTED('Audit Results'),'Audit Results'[Date])
var _max=MaxX(ALLSELECTED('Audit Results'),'Audit Results'[Date])
return
CALCULATE(SUM('Audit Results'[Column]),FILTER(ALL('Audit Results'),MAX('Audit Results'[week])>=WEEKNUM(_min,1)&&MAX('Audit Results'[week])<=WEEKNUM(_max,1)&&'Audit Results'[Department]=MAX('Employee Roster'[Department])))can you clarify which column 'Audit Results'[Column] should use?
Thank you for your time and assistance! I am very greatful!
Hi @bigchippah ,
Here are the steps you can follow:
1. Create calculated table.
Table = CALENDAR(DATE(2022,1,1),DATE(2022,12,31))
2. Create calculated column.
Add a week and count to Audit Results:
week = WEEKNUM('Employee Roster'[Date],1)count = COUNTX(FILTER(ALL('Audit Results'),'Audit Results'[week]=EARLIER('Audit Results'[week])&&'Audit Results'[Department]=EARLIER('Audit Results'[Department])),[Department])
Add a week to Employee Roster:
week = WEEKNUM('Employee Roster'[Date],1)
3. Create measure.
# of Employees =
var _min=MINX(ALLSELECTED('Audit Results'),'Audit Results'[Date])
var _max=MaxX(ALLSELECTED('Audit Results'),'Audit Results'[Date])
return
COUNTX(FILTER(ALL('Employee Roster'),
'Employee Roster'[week] >=WEEKNUM(_min,1)&&
'Employee Roster'[week] <=WEEKNUM(_max,1)&&
'Employee Roster'[Department]=MAX('Employee Roster'[Department])&&
'Employee Roster'[week]=MAX('Employee Roster'[week])
),[Department])Audited =
var _min=MINX(ALLSELECTED('Audit Results'),'Audit Results'[Date])
var _max=MaxX(ALLSELECTED('Audit Results'),'Audit Results'[Date])
return
CALCULATE(SUM('Audit Results'[Column]),FILTER(ALL('Audit Results'),MAX('Audit Results'[week])>=WEEKNUM(_min,1)&&MAX('Audit Results'[week])<=WEEKNUM(_max,1)&&'Audit Results'[Department]=MAX('Employee Roster'[Department])))
4. Result:
Take the [Date] of the Table table as the slicer.
