Continuous Count

Target Results: 

Is to have a count of memberships which will give me a total number within a selected period of time. The membership terms are for 1 year.

- The goal is to be able to drilldown from Year/Quarter/Month/Week level.

- Ex: If I look up on January 1, there is 1 membership because Member A started their membership on Jan 1. If I look up on February 1, there are 3 memberships because Member A still has a membership, Member C started their membership on Jan 3, and Member D started their membership on Feb 1.

- Please see below for reference.

- The ultimate goal is to be able to plot this on a time based bar chart which will drill down to Year/Quarter/Month/Week. If I click on any selection (ex; random week), it will tell me the number of active memberships for that specific week.

Current Incorrect DAX = 

ActiveMembershipCount =
CALCULATE( COUNT( Contracts[members] ), FILTER( Contracts, Contracts[fr_datetime] <= LASTDATE( 'Calendar'[Date] )
|| Contracts[to_datetime] >= FIRSTDATE( 'Calendar'[Date] ) )

 

Any support you are able to provide will be greatly appreciated!

HI @Anonymous ,


I'm not so sure for your data structure, please share a pbix file with some sample data so that we can test on it.

 

In addition, you can also try to use following measure if it works:

ActiveMembershipCount =
VAR _date =
    ALLSELECTED ( 'Calendar'[Date] )
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        COUNT ( Contracts[members] ),
        FILTER (
            ALLSELECTED ( Contracts ),
            Contracts[fr_datetime] <= MAXX ( _date, [Date] )
                && Contracts[to_datetime] >= MINX ( _date, [Date] )
        ),
        VALUES ( Contracts[members] )
    )

Regards,

XIaoxin Sheng
