Count Filtered by DatesBetween

Hello!

 

Very new to this, not a great deal of DAX experience but some basic java/c#!

 

Im trying to analyse delivery on time data, i can see the % of on time deliveries (for all of time) with this formula

 

Average Year = COUNT (Delivery[Delivered on Time])/(COUNT (Delivery[1-3 Days Late])+COUNT(Delivery[4-7 Days Late])+COUNT(Delivery[8-14 Days Late])+COUNT(Delivery[15-30 Days Late])+COUNT(Delivery[30+ Days Late]) +COUNT(Delivery[Delivered on Time]))

 

 

I would like to do it for a month, or three months, so i tried this horrible formula

 

Average Month = (IF(DATESBETWEEN('Delivery'[1.Date Sent],10/2016,11/2016),COUNT(Delivery[Delivered on Time]),0)/
(IF(DATESBETWEEN('Delivery'[1.Date Sent],10/2016,11/2016),COUNT (Delivery[1-3 Days Late]),0)+
(IF(DATESBETWEEN('Delivery'[1.Date Sent],10/2016,11/2016),COUNT (Delivery[1-3 Days Late]),0)+
(IF(DATESBETWEEN('Delivery'[1.Date Sent],10/2016,11/2016),COUNT(Delivery[4-7 Days Late]),0)+
(IF(DATESBETWEEN('Delivery'[1.Date Sent],10/2016,11/2016),COUNT(Delivery[8-14 Days Late]),0)+
(IF(DATESBETWEEN('Delivery'[1.Date Sent],10/2016,11/2016),COUNT(Delivery[15-30 Days Late]),0)+
(IF(DATESBETWEEN('Delivery'[1.Date Sent],10/2016,11/2016),COUNT(Delivery[30+ Days Late]),0) +
(IF(DATESBETWEEN('Delivery'[1.Date Sent],10/2016,11/2016),COUNT(Delivery[Delivered on Time]),0))

 

 

Is it just me or do some DAX functions not wok in Power Bi?

 

Thanks in advance!

After trawling the web for a few hours i found the solution on this very site:

 

Get how many days late-

 

Days Late = SWITCH(
TRUE(),
'Delivery_list_With_Parts'[Date Sent]<'Delivery_list_With_Parts'[SO Delivery Date],-1*DATEDIFF('Delivery_list_With_Parts'[Date Sent],'Delivery_list_With_Parts'[SO Delivery Date],DAY),
'Delivery_list_With_Parts'[Date Sent]>'Delivery_list_With_Parts'[SO Delivery Date], DATEDIFF('Delivery_list_With_Parts'[SO Delivery Date], 'Delivery_list_With_Parts'[Date Sent],DAY),
0)

 

Organise into coloumbs

 

On Time = IF(AND(Delivery_list_With_Parts[Days Late]>-1,Delivery_list_With_Parts[Days Late]<1),1,0)

1-3 Days Late = IF(AND(Delivery_list_With_Parts[Days Late]>0,Delivery_list_With_Parts[Days Late]<3),1,0)

4-7 Days Late = IF(AND(Delivery_list_With_Parts[Days Late]>3,Delivery_list_With_Parts[Days Late]<8),1,0)

 

Measure % of on time deliveries 

 

Deliveries On Time = (SUM (Delivery_list_With_Parts[On Time])+
SUM (Delivery_list_With_Parts[Somehow Early])) /
(SUM (Delivery_list_With_Parts[1-3 Days Late])+
SUM (Delivery_list_With_Parts[4-7 Days Late])+
SUM (Delivery_list_With_Parts[8-14 Days Late])+
SUM (Delivery_list_With_Parts[15-30 Days Late])+
SUM (Delivery_list_With_Parts[30+ Days Late]))

DAX is a very powerful language.  The Power Pivot engine uses a 2 step approach.  First filter the data and then complete a formula evaluation.  From what I can see (it is not actually clear) you may be relying on step 2 without properly leveraging step 1.  The only way to tell is if you can share your raw data design.  Can you explain that?

I will not give you bad advice, even if you unknowingly ask for it.
