Hi!
I have a table [orders]. There are two date columns, one is "order_received_date" and the other is "order_despatched_date"
I want to have a Clustered column chart with x-Axis [Date] and y-Axis [Amount of orders].
There should be 2 bars aligned to each other (2 Values). One bar with amount of orders received and one bar with amount of orders despatched.
It seemed like a simple task, but I just don't know how to do it. Do I need a separate date table or something?
Thx for your help!
Solved! Go to Solution.
This is easily done with the USERELATIONSHIP function.
First, on the relationship modeling tab create a link for both date columns, you'll notice the second one is inactive but we can use the above function to have the measure use that relationship instead.
Now create a measure that uses calculate to use that inactive relationship.
Measures:
Despatched Count = CALCULATE(COUNT(Orders[Order_No]),USERELATIONSHIP(CalendarTable[Date],Orders[order_despatched_date]))
Received Count = COUNT(Orders[Order_No])
