Count by Date Range - Looking for Help
Hi Everyone,
I have encountered yet another problem that I'm looking to solve.
I have a table with employee names that also contain their start-dates and roll-off dates.
Example:
Name // Start Date // Roll-Off Date
Kris // 01-Sep-2018 // 12-Dec-2020
Alice // 01-Jun-2019 // 01-Oct-2019
Mark // 17-Jan-2018 // 10-Aug-2018
Karen // 03-May-2019 // 17-Oct-2018
Lisa // 27-Mar-2019 // 11-Sep-2020
What I'm looking for is a measure that will count the rows and return an "Active" Headcount, based on the data range.
For example, I want to know how many "Active" employees we have in October 2019. Measure then looks at the start date & end date of the employee and only returns Active head count number for people who's roll-off date is not in the past. For example using the table above, the total active headcount returned should be = 2, since only Kris and Lisa have Roll-off dates in the future.
I then would like to create a slicer so I can go back to other month's and see how many Active people I had in May or June, or September and so on.
I'm fairly new to Power BI and I'm learning a lot. but this is something I can't yet figure out how to do.
Your help is much appreciated.
Best Regards,
Kris
Measure = VAR CutOffDate_ = MAX ( CalendarTable[Date] ) RETURN COUNTROWS ( FILTER ( Table1, Table1[Roll-Off Date] > CutOffDate_ || ISBLANK( Table1[Roll-Off Date] ) ) )Please mark the question solved when done and consider giving kudos if posts are helpful.

1. Create a standard calendar table (no relationships to the table you show). Place month and year in a slicer.
2. Place this measure in a card visual (assumes only one row per employee in the table you show (Table1))
Measure = VAR CutOffDate_ = MAX ( CalendarTable[Date] ) RETURN COUNTROWS ( FILTER ( Table1, Table1[Roll-Off Date] > CutOffDate_ ) )Please mark the question solved when done and consider giving kudos if posts are helpful.

Hi AlB ,
Thanks for the Suggestion.
I already had a rolling-calendar created, There is no relationship between the Employe Table and calendar.
What if the Roll-off date contains a lot of "Null" values as the people who are not yet rolled-off will not have the date in there.
is it possible to amend the formula so that it also counts the null values too please?
BR,
Kris
