Creating a measure

I keep running into an issue. I have a table called customers and within that table I have a column called clien_since. Within client since are specific dates when each customer has become a customer. I tried to just add it to a date matrix but now I'm getting off set dates. The I tried to add it to a date hierarch line chart and just got a flat line. I'm not sure how to represent the client since data. Do I need to make a measure to join client since with the customer id column within the same table? If so how should I do that?

Hi @Anonymous , Hello @Ashish_Mathur thank you for your prompt reply!

 

Based on your description, I create a table with two columns as shown below:

As you said, we can use a matrix to show the join date for each user like this:

We can also show the trend of users joining as shown below, if it shows a flat line, check if all users joined on different dates:

Please feel free to reply if your question still stands, or if I've missed something.
