Creating a Chart with x axis to be dynamic

Hello,

I am trying a develop a graph using the below data 

OrderNoOrdDateCallTypeCallDateCallID
A12312/20/2022Initial1/2/2023C1234
A12312/20/2022Initial1/2/2023C1235
A12312/20/2022Service1/5/2023C1236
A12312/20/2022Service1/7/2023C1237
A12312/20/2022Service1/8/2023C1238
A12312/20/2022Shipping1/8/2023C1239
A12312/20/2022Shipping1/8/2023C1240
A12312/20/2022Service1/9/2023C1241
A12312/20/2022Service1/10/2023C1242
A12312/20/2022Service1/11/2023C1243
A12312/20/2022Service1/12/2023C1244
B12311/15/2022Initial1/3/2023C1245
C12311/20/2022Initial1/5/2023C1246
D12311/25/2022Initial1/5/2023C1247
D12311/25/2022Service1/10/2023C1248
D12311/25/2022Shipping1/10/2023C1249
E1231/2/2023Initial1/2/2023C1250
E1231/2/2023Shipping1/5/2023C1251
E1231/2/2023Shipping1/5/2023C1252

 

The requirement is to have a calldate and orddate slicer but plot in 3 unique graphs the below. 

- An Initial call count graph

- A Service call count graph

- A shipping call count graph

the graph should be the distinct count of Orders who have had 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Initial call, where 0,1,2,3,4,5 is on the x axis 

 

For a Shipping call count graph:

With a OrdDate Slicer from 11/1/22 - 1/31/22 AND with a call date slicer as 12/1/22 - 12/20/22

the first column for 0 (on x axis) should be 5 (this is because none of the 5 orders had calls within the secondary date range)

 

With a OrdDate Slicer from 11/1/22 - 1/31/22 AND with a call date slicer as 1/1/23 - 1/20/23

the first column for 0 (on x axis) should be 2 (this is because B123 and C123 had 0 calls within the secondary date range)

the second column for 1 (on x axis) should be 3 (because A123, D123, E123 each had atleast 1 shipping call within the secondary date range)

 

With a OrdDate Slicer from 11/1/22 - 1/31/22 AND with a call date slicer as 1/1/23 - 1/5/23

the first column for 0 (on x axis) should be 4 (this is because A123, B123, C123, D123 had 0 calls within the secondary date range)

the second column for 1 (on x axis) should be 1 (because A123, D123, E123 each had atleast 1 shipping call within the secondary date range)

 

The same concept for Initial and Service calls. I did try to use a summarize table solution, but the slicer is throwing me off. When i select the date, the members with no calls dont show (i.e column with 0 calls). And if i use the EXCEPT , then the filter is not applied at all. 

 

Any recommendations on how to resolve this please.

Hi @PBI5851 , 

I've tried to recreate what i believe is your end-goal.

How does this match your intended output? 

It's done with the following measures: 

Shipping Call Count = 
VAR totalOrders = CALCULATE( DISTINCTCOUNT( Orders[OrderNo] ) , REMOVEFILTERS( Orders[CallDate] ))
VAR WithCalls = COUNTROWS( FILTER ( SUMMARIZE( Orders , Orders[OrderNo] , Orders[CallType] , "Value" , COUNTROWS( Orders ) ) , [Value] >= 1 && Orders[CallType] = "Shipping") )
Return
SWITCH( SELECTEDVALUE( 'Count'[Count] ) , 
"0" , totalOrders - WithCalls ,
"1" , WithCalls
)
Service Call Count = 
VAR totalOrders = CALCULATE( DISTINCTCOUNT( Orders[OrderNo] ) , REMOVEFILTERS( Orders[CallDate] ))
VAR WithCalls = COUNTROWS( FILTER ( SUMMARIZE( Orders , Orders[OrderNo] , Orders[CallType] , "Value" , COUNTROWS( Orders ) ) , [Value] >= 1 && Orders[CallType] = "Service") )
Return
SWITCH( SELECTEDVALUE( 'Count'[Count] ) , 
"0" , totalOrders - WithCalls ,
"1" , WithCalls
)
Initial Call Count = 
VAR totalOrders = CALCULATE( DISTINCTCOUNT( Orders[OrderNo] ) , REMOVEFILTERS( Orders[CallDate] ))
VAR WithCalls = COUNTROWS( FILTER ( SUMMARIZE( Orders , Orders[OrderNo] , Orders[CallType] , "Value" , COUNTROWS( Orders ) ) , [Value] >= 1 && Orders[CallType] = "Initial") )
Return
SWITCH( SELECTEDVALUE( 'Count'[Count] ) , 
"0" , totalOrders - WithCalls ,
"1" , WithCalls
)


Plus a small static table to populate the x-axis:
