Churn Rate - lost Customer

HI,

 

I want to have the Prior to Last Month Customers and compare that to the last month Customers to  see if those exist in the last month than calculate the churn rate

 

For example :-

My Prior last month customer = 1000,

and out of 1000 , only 912 were in Last month ( so 88 got lost)

so %Churn rate would be = (1000-912)/1000 )= 0.088= 8.8%

note- 

The lost customer can’t include new customer in that period.

 

I am using the fiscal calendar.

 

Calculating the Prior last month  and last month by using this formula 

Prior last month Cust =
TOTALMTD([Disnt Customer],DATEADD(Table[Date],-2,MONTH))
 
last month Cust =
TOTALMTD([Disnt Customer],DATEADD(Table[Date],-1,MONTH))
 
Any help in calculating the % churn rate?
Thanks,
Tejaswi

@Anonymous , The number distinct customer not matching in excel and pbix.

Anyways, I have calculated the same customer and lost a customer. With that you can get the churn

 

File is attached.  Added customer table and mark Calendar table as Date table.

Last month Cust =
CALCULATE([Distinct Cust], FILTER(ALL('Fiscal Calendar'),'Fiscal Calendar'[Moth1] = MIN('Fiscal Calendar'[Moth1]) - 1 ))
 
Prior last month Cust =
CALCULATE([Distinct Cust], FILTER(ALL('Fiscal Calendar'),'Fiscal Calendar'[Moth1] = MIN('Fiscal Calendar'[Moth1]) -2 ))
 
Churn% = DIVIDE([Prior last month Cust],[Last month Cust])
