Hello
I am currently investigating a dataset that contains the following columns below. The table refers to a series of assets that appear in a dataset if they have been verified to have failed inspection.
| Asset ID | Date of entry |
| AK-0001 | 02-03-2019 |
| AK-0013 | 05-03-2020 |
| AK-0321 | 17-03-2020 |
| AK-0001 | 17-03-2020 |
| AK-0013 | 21-03-2020 |
| AK-0013 | 24-04-2020 |
| AK-0001 | 30-03-2020 |
I'm trying to use DAX to create a new variable/measure that calculates the number of repeat errors. A repeat error would be defined as:
- The same asset (identified by Asset ID) failing three or more times...
- ... within a12-week period
Therefore, when examining the previous dataset, the AK-0013 asset made a repeat error, as it failed three times in a 12-week period, but the AK-0001 asset has zero repeat errors even if it failed three times separately, because the errors occurred over a period longer than 12 weeks.
I have used DAX several times before for different measurements and have always searched Google intensely before asking in the community (depending on keywords). However, this is the first time I am perplexed and will gladly welcome you to any help and advice on how to create this measure! If you have any questions or need further elaboration please ask.
Thanks a lot

Hi @Anonymous ,
You can create a measure with the below formula:
FailCount =
VAR countofFail =
CALCULATE (
DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Assets'[Date of entry] ),
FILTER ( 'Assets', 'Assets'[Asset ID] = MAX ( 'Assets'[Asset ID] ) )
)
RETURN
IF (
DATEDIFF (
MIN ( 'Assets'[Date of entry] ),
MAX ( 'Assets'[Date of entry] ),
WEEK
) <= 12
&& countofFail >= 3,
countofFail,
BLANK ()
)Best Regards

You need to calculate your period then do a DISTINCTCOUNT() of Asset ID in that period. If the count is greater than 2, then record the amount over 2 as # of repeats.
VAR count = 0
VAR currentDate = SELECTEDVALUE( 'Assets'[Date] )
VAR repeats =
CALCULATE(
DISTINCTCOUNT( [Asset ID] ),
'DatesTable'[Date] > DATEADD( currentDate, -3, WEEK ) &&
'DatesTable'[Date] <= CurrentDate
) - 2
RETURN
IF(
repeats > 2,
count + repeats,
count + 0
)
@Anonymous ,
With help of date table and week Rank you can get 12 week data like this
Last 12 week Sales = CALCULATE(Count(Table[Asset ID]),FILTER(all('Date'),'Date'[Week Rank]>=min('Date'[Week Rank])-12 && 'Date'[Week Rank]<=max('Date'[Week Rank])))
You can filter on > 3
