Continuous Years
This appears to only look at number of years donating and not continuous. I forgot to mention it is only classed as continuous years by donating every year until the current year.
Can you clarify the criteria? You say "it is only classed as continuous years by donating every year until the current year"
Since you have dates going back to 1970, is it only continuous if there is a record per constituent id every year since 1970 until 2021?
Apologies, yes the criteria for continous years can only be for every year up until the year financial year. For instance, someone donating every financial year up until the current year would be 31 years of continuous donating. However, a measure is also needed for years of giving too, so if someone else had donated since 1990 but only donated in 10 seperate years, this would mean their lifetime of giving is 10 years. From the measure given below it does not work all the time, for instance those that have donated for 27 years are showing as blank when using the measure. Can you help with the continous years and lifetime giving measures? I included my report I did not use the fyear measure within it as I had a financial year that was working as appropriate.
VAR _IDGroupTable = FILTER( ALL( 'Table' ), [ID] = SELECTEDVALUE( 'Table'[ID] ) ) VAR _AConY = MAXX( _IDGroupTable, [Fyear] ) - MINX( _IDGroupTable, [Fyear] ) + 1 VAR _FConY = COUNTROWS( DISTINCT( SUMMARIZE( _IDGroupTable, 'Table'[ID], 'Table'[Fyear] ) ) ) RETURN IF( _AConY = _FConY, _FConY, BLANK() )I may be misunderstanding what you are looking for but...
The total number of Fiscal years from 1970 to 2021 is 53 (2 FY years in 1970 & 2 FY years in 2021.
To calculate whether an ID is "Continuous", the count of the IDs FY must equal 53 (none do)
But anyway, here is how:
Create a numerical column for FY in your table using:
To calculate the total number of FY:
Total FY Years = VAR MinY = CALCULATE ( MIN ( 'Gifts (2)'[FY WN] ), ALL ( 'Gifts (2)' ) ) VAR MaxY = CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'Gifts (2)'[FY WN] ), ALL ( 'Gifts (2)' ) ) VAR FY_table = GENERATESERIES ( MinY, MaxY, 1 ) RETURN COUNTROWS ( FY_table )To calculate if an ID is "Continuous":
Continuous Every year = IF(DISTINCTCOUNT('Gifts (2)'[FY WN]) = [Total FY Years], "Continuous")For Lifetime Giving (non continous)
Lifetime Giving = DISTINCTCOUNT('Gifts (2)'[FY WN])If you want to just use a single measure to combine both results
Combined = IF ( DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Gifts (2)'[FY WN] ) = [Total FY Years], "Continuous", FORMAT ( [Life Giving], "##0" ) )To include the first FY for each ID
Since = "FY" & RIGHT ( CALCULATE ( MIN ( 'Gifts (2)'[FY WN] ), ALLEXCEPT ( 'Gifts (2)', 'Gifts (2)'[constituent_id] ), 'Gifts (2)'[grouped] ), 2 )To calaculate the number of FY without a donation
FY without donation = VAR MinY = CALCULATE ( MIN ( 'Gifts (2)'[FY WN] ), ALLEXCEPT ( 'Gifts (2)', 'Gifts (2)'[constituent_id] ) ) VAR MaxY = CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'Gifts (2)'[FY WN] ), ALLEXCEPT ( 'Gifts (2)', 'Gifts (2)'[constituent_id] ) ) VAR FY_table = GENERATESERIES ( MinY, MaxY, 1 ) RETURN COUNTROWS ( FY_table ) - [Lifetime Giving]I've attached the sample PBIX file
Hi, so continuous years the ID must have donated for more than one FY including the current FY. So an ID that has donated in FY17,18,19,20,21 would calculate to 5 years of continuous donating. However, if the same ID was to have also donated in FY11,12,13 but did not donate in any of the following years FY14,15,16, then donated from FY 17 to 21 there continous donating would be 5 years but their lifetime giving would equal to 8 years. I need two measures one to calculate lifetime giving and one to calculate the continous years of donating. I hope this makes sense, I will implement your measures and get back to you. Thank you for all your help, so far.
