Very confused.  What do you want the answe to be?  If you want the answer to be 126, then write this measure

Jobs = distinctcount(Data[Job number])

Total = SUMX(VALUES(Calendar[Month name]),[Jobs])

Ensure that you slicers for Year and Month name are from the Calendar Table.

Sorry about the confusion. I don't want the total to be 126. I need it to look at my data that runs from 2019 to current data and check to see if the job number has been used before. If so, then it can't be a new job unless that job was started within the given timeframe. For example, if there is a job that was entered in 2020 and I am searching for any new jobs in 2022, the job in 2020 should not show up on the list as a new job.

    Hi,

    Ensure that you have a Calendar Table with calculated column formulas for year, Month name and Month number.  Sort the Month name column by the Month number.  Create a relationship (Many to One and Single) from the Date column of the Data Table to the Date column of the Calendar Table.  to your visual, drag year and Month name from the Calendar Table.  Write these measures

    Date fo first interaction = calculate(min(Data[Transaction date]),datesbetween(calendar[date],minx(all(calendar),calendar[Date]),max(calendar[date])))

    New customers = countrows(filter(values(data[customer code]),[Date fo first interaction]>=min(calendar[date])))

    Drag the second measure to a card visual.

    Hope this helps.

      I think I follow what you said. I will give that a try and let you know if it works.

      I appreciate the formula that you provided but for some reason it doesn't work correctly. Can you include what my calendar formula should look like? This is what it looks like on my side.

       

      Date =
      ADDCOLUMNS (
      CALENDAR (DATE(2017,1,1), DATE(2032,12,31)),
      "DateAsInteger", FORMAT ( [Date], "MMDDYY" ),
      "Year",YEAR([Date]),
      "Monthnumber", FORMAT ( [Date], "MM" ),
      "YearMonthnumber", FORMAT ( [Date], "YYYY/MM" ),
      "YearMonthShort", FORMAT ( [Date], "YYYY/mmm" ),
      "MonthNameShort", FORMAT ( [Date], "mmm" ),
      "MonthNameLong", FORMAT ( [Date], "mmmm" ),
      "DayOfWeekNumber", WEEKDAY ( [Date] ),
      "DayOfWeek", FORMAT ( [Date], "dddd" ),
      "DayOfWeekShort", FORMAT ( [Date], "ddd" ),
      "Quarter", "Q" & FORMAT ( [Date], "Q" ),
      "YearQuarter", FORMAT ( [Date], "YYYY" ) & "/Q" & FORMAT ( [Date], "Q" )
      )

        Hi,

        Create the Calendar table with the following formula

        Calendar = calendar(DATE(2017,1,1), DATE(2032,12,31))

        Write these calculated column formulas

        Year = year(Calendar[Date])

        Month name = format(calendar[Date],"mmmm")

        Month number = month(calendar[Date])

        Sort the Month name column by the Month number.  to your visual, drag Year and Month name from the Calendar Table.

        Hope this helps.
