Hi Everyone,
Im pretty new in powerbi and been struugling with an issue i have.
I have a table with customer_id,transaction_date and debt_indicator. You will have a 1 if in debt and 0 if out of debt. Please help me with the DAX to check if the customers only in the selected month are still in debt the next month or the next 3 months. So if 5 customers were in debt in december, are the same 5 customers still in debt in January.
Solved! Go to Solution.
@Anonymous solution attached, the core of the dax is here:
Count =
VAR __selectedMonthCustomerWithDebt =
CALCULATETABLE (
VALUES ('Table'[customer_id] ),
TREATAS ( VALUES ( 'Calendar'[Date] ), 'Table'[transaction_date] ),
'Table'[debt_ind] = 1
)
VAR __nextMonthCustomerWithDebt =
CALCULATETABLE (
VALUES ( 'Table'[customer_id] ),
TREATAS ( NEXTMONTH ( 'Calendar'[Date] ), 'Table'[transaction_date] ),
'Table'[debt_ind] = 1
)
RETURN
COUNTROWS (
INTERSECT ( __nextMonthCustomerWithDebt, __selectedMonthCustomerWithDebt )
)

THANK YOU!!
@Anonymous what made you compare Dec with Jan, what is the logic? Would you select a month that you want to compare or how it will work?

You will select a month and compare it to the next month
@Anonymous Would need sample data to be more specific but it sounds like you need to use ALL or ALLEXCEPT in order to break out of the current filter context and "look ahead"

from this data only 3 distinct account_ids had a debt status of 1 in december and i want to calculate how many of those 3 account_ids still have a status of 1 in the the following month
@Anonymous I would recommend posting some sample data with the expected output. Read this post to get your answer quickly.
