Count from the first seen
Hello
My data header looks like this:
Customer ID | Earliest seen date |Filter Date|
I want to count the number of times a unique client has been detected.It should be based on the main date filter we already have (filter date)
example: 1. if the first seen date for a client is in March and the date filter is June then it should show how many times the client was seen in June. If it’s filtered for April to June and first seen is in March then count how many times client was seen in April to June.
2. if it had a first seen date earlier than the date filtered in the month. So if the client was first seen on day 1 and we run the report for day 2 then the client is still a previously seen device so we should show a value in day 2 but not day 1
Thanks

Do you want two date filters?
If yes. This is bit different but on the same line Comparing-Data-Across-Date-Ranges

Connect on LinkedinHi amitchandak

Thanks

Not able to get the problem you are facing.
If you add a slicer for filter date and select the count of customer id in visual.

Hi v-frfei-msft
Thank you again for your help
here is the link: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AmE_jLrjHUAN9ggaX2Z3OSTVoeQq?e=2XsIcQ
if i choose time range January 9th - 12th,
So first, we should see if a Client Mac it had a first seen date earlier than the date filtered in the month.
If the client Mac was first seen on day 9 January and we run the report for days 9-12 then the client is still a previously seen device so we should show a value in day 12, 11,10 but not 9. And calculate how many times the Client Mac has been seen in this period.
if the client was first seen on day 7 January, then we should count the times he was seen starting from 9th-12 January the date filterred
if we are running the report only for 12 january and the first seen was on 7, then we will count starting with 8,9,10,11,12 of January
Example: Client MAC = 24:18:1d:7f:2b:bd
to show how many time this client has been seen, i will count the days marked with yellow and the result will be 72 times (48+9+15)
