Comparing 2 calculatetables with each other for calculating numbers of won and lost clients

Hi everyone,

 

I am struggling with some DAX-formulas and hopefully someone of you can help me.

 

I have 2 tables, an invoice-table and a calendar-table. The information of the invoice-table:

Format of a report:Quarterly Churn comparion.JPG

 

The end result of the dummy data should be:

 

End Results.PNG

 

I want to compare each quarter the information from the last 4 quarters (current) with the information from the prior period.

For example on LTM (Last Twelve Months) Q1-17, I want to compare the periods 2016-Q2 until 2017-Q1 (current) with the period 2016-Q1 until 2016-Q4 (prior period) and than calculate the number of lost clients, steady clients and won clients.

 

For example, I want to calculate the won clients, that are the clients who bought in the current period and not in de prior period. 

 

Won Customers LTM =
VAR CustomerLTM = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(Invoices[Customer]);
                                  FILTER(ALL('Calendar');
                                  ** what do I have to put here? 
VAR PriorCustomers = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(Invoices[Customer]);
                                     FILTER(ALL('Calendar' );
                                    ** what do I have to put here? 
RETURN
COUNTROWS(
EXCEPT(CustomerLTM; PriorCustomers ) )
))

 

Can someone help me?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

With kind regards,


Cor

I think I’ve found it:

Won Customers LTM = 
VAR CustomerLTM = CALCULATETABLE(VALUES(Invoices[Customer]);
                         DATESBETWEEN ('Calendar'[Date];
                         NEXTDAY ( SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR ( LASTDATE ( 'Calendar'[Date] ) ) );
                         LASTDATE ( 'Calendar'[Date] )))
VAR PriorCustomers = CALCULATETABLE(VALUES(Invoices[Customer]);
                       DATESBETWEEN('Calendar'[Date];
                        DATEADD(STARTOFQUARTER('Calendar'[Date]);-4;QUARTER);
                        DATEADD(ENDOFQUARTER('Calendar'[Date]);-1;QUARTER)))              
RETURN
COUNTROWS(
    EXCEPT(CustomerLTM;PriorCustomers))

this may help you:
https://www.sqlbi.com/articles/rolling-12-months-average-in-dax/
the pattern used looks like this

    DATESBETWEEN (
        Calendar[FullDate],
        NEXTDAY ( SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR ( LASTDATE ( Calendar[FullDate] ) ) ),
        LASTDATE ( Calendar[FullDate] )
    )





Did I answer your question? Mark my post as a solution!
Thank you for the kudos 🙂

Thanks for your reply, the pattern you've mentioned is I think for the current period. What do I have to fill in the formula for the prior period?
