Count of active employees between two dates, by department

[Anonymous]

I want to replicate the bundle of reports on the following page, particularly the Demographic Analysis report.

My data has Employee ID, Department ID, Hired Date, Termination Date, Terminated Y/N and all the pertinent columns.

I have found solutions online that do show number of active employees per date organization-wide, but I'm not sure how I can filter them by department. Would I have to create separate measures for each department? And if so, would that work with the departmental slicer I have?

Thanks!

Hey @Anonymous ,

you do not have to create a measure for each department, of course you can leverage the department slicer.

As you deal with snapshot data or semi-additive measures (as headcount can not be summed over time) your measures become more complex. This article describes how to create semi-additive measures: Semi-Additive Measures in DAX - SQLBI

Hopefully, this provides some ideas on how to tackle your challenge!
