Calculations with DAX Filters - Voluntary/Involuntary Staff Turnover

Hi all,

I am stuck into calculating Voluntary/Involuntary Staff Turnover for my organisation. I have managed to calculate overall turnover, however, am having trouble when I need to distinguish between the two.

This is what the sample data looks like (Title, Emp Master File):

Employee ID	Employee Name	Hire Date	Location	Termination Date	Term Code	Voluntary/Involuntary
1	Joe Bloggs	20 March 2020	NY	30 April 2020	V	Voluntary
2	Kevin Smith	30 April 2018	SF	20 December 2021	V	Voluntary
3	Charlotte Green	30 March 2019	SF	10 July 2020	T	Involuntary
4	Penelope Brown	10 July 2018	NY

It is also connected with a date table.

As you may be aware, annualised turnover is calculated through:

Past 12 Month Leavers / (Headcount at beginning of period + headcount at end of period)/2

In order to achieve this, I have the following calculations:

Past 12 Month Leavers =

VAR selectedDate = LASTDATE('Date Table'[Date])

VAR selectedDate12MonthsBefore =

(SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR(selectedDate))

RETURN

CALCULATE(sumx('Emp Master File',

IF([Termination Date]>=selectedDate12MonthsBefore && [Termination Date] <= selectedDate,1,0)),

NOT(ISBLANK('Emp Master File'[Termination Date])

))

Headcount (12 Month Prior) =

VAR selectedDate =

NEXTDAY(SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR(LASTDATE('Date Table'[Date])))

RETURN

SUMX('Emp Master File',

VAR employeeStartDate = [Hire Date]

VAR employeeEndDate = [Termination Date]

RETURN IF(employeeStartDate <= selectedDate &&

OR (employeeEndDate >= selectedDate, employeeEndDate=BLANK()),1,0))

Active Employees =

CALCULATE

(COUNTX(FILTER('Emp Master File',

'Emp Master File'[Hire Date] <=MAX('Date Table'[Date])

(ISBLANK('Emp Master File'[Termination Date])

'Emp Master File'[Termination Date] > MAX('Date Table'[Date]))), 'Emp Master File'[Employee ID]),

CROSSFILTER('Date Table'[Date], 'Emp Master File'[Hire Date], NONE))

I have then used all of these to create an employee annualised turnover being:

Annual Turnover Rate =

[Past 12 Month Leavers]/[12 Month Rolling Average]

Note: 12 Month Rolling Average is just the average of the active employees and the 12month prior headcount

This provides me with the annual turnover rate. However, now I would like to use the 'Voluntary/Involuntary' information in my table, and only calculate those that have left 'voluntary'. This means that the number of leavers calculation needs to only count those that have a 'V' in the Voluntary/Involuntary table.

I was thinking of using the CALCULATE/FILTER function to achieve this in my 'Past 12 Month Leavers calculation' but it didn't seem to work:

Past 12 Month Voluntary Leavers =

VAR selectedDate = LASTDATE('Date Table'[Date])

VAR selectedDate12MonthsBefore =

(SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR(selectedDate))

RETURN

CALCULATE(sumx('Emp Master File',

IF([Termination Date]>=selectedDate12MonthsBefore && [Termination Date] <= selectedDate,1,0)),

'Emp Master File'[Voluntary/Involuntary] = "V")

However, when I have done this, I end up with a blank. How would you recommend I use the same calculation as above but only consider those with a V or those with an I?

Hi, Anonymous

According to your description, I think the problem is that the column name and value don't match.

You need to modify the code: 'Emp Master File'[Voluntary/Involuntary] = "Involuntary") or 'Emp Master File'[Term Code] = "V")

It is recommended that you use countx() function to calculate, the usage of calculate (sumx(if)) is not common.

If it doesn’t solve your problem, please feel free to ask me.

Anonymous , refer to my blog this

Terminated in last 12

= CALCULATE(CALCULATE(COUNT(Employee[Employee Id ]),USERELATIONSHIP(Employee[End Date],'Date'[Date]),not(ISBLANK(Employee[End Date]))),DATESINPERIOD('Date'[Date ],MAX('Date'[Date ]),-12,MONTH))

last 12 month avg

AverageX(values(Date[Month Year]),CALCULATE(COUNTx(FILTER(Employee,Employee[Start Date]<=max('Date'[Date]) && (ISBLANK(Employee[End Date]) || Employee[End Date]>max('Date'[Date]))),(Employee[Employee Id ])),CROSSFILTER(Employee[Start Date],'Date'[Date],None))
)

  Hi Amit,
  Thanks for your response, but that was not what I was after unfortunately.
  
  I wanted to calculate only those employees who have been voluntary terminated using my formulas above. I hope that makes sense.
