Counting records based on dynamic variable
- Anonymous5 years ago
Hi Anonymous ,
I doubt the order for From-To type could be reversed, such as from partial application to full application, or it also can be from full application to partial application...
So in order to consider comprehensive, I use CROSSJOIN() to create a FromTo table as shown below:
FromTo = VAR _from = DISTINCT ( SELECTCOLUMNS ( 'Table', "From", 'Table'[Status_changed_to] ) ) VAR _to = DISTINCT ( SELECTCOLUMNS ( 'Table', "To", 'Table'[Status_changed_to] ) ) RETURN CROSSJOIN ( _from, _to )Now please follow these steps:
1. Find the first status
From = VAR _firstdate = CALCULATE ( FIRSTNONBLANK ( 'Table'[Modification_datetime], TRUE () ), ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[Application id] ) ) RETURN LOOKUPVALUE ( 'Table'[Status_changed_to], [Modification_datetime], _firstdate )2. Find the last status
To = VAR _lastdate = CALCULATE ( LASTNONBLANK ( 'Table'[Modification_datetime], TRUE () ), ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[Application id] ) ) RETURN LOOKUPVALUE ( 'Table'[Status_changed_to], [Modification_datetime], _lastdate )3. Create a measure to count the number of application with each From - To type:
Measure = CALCULATE ( DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Table'[Application id] ), FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[From] = MAX ( 'FromTo'[From] ) && 'Table'[To] = MAX ( 'FromTo'[To] ) ) )The final output is shown below:

You can do this with simple and stratighforward approach through adjusting the data model.
Build a calendar table, a table to define the status sequence and simple count.
