DAX: Calculate Hires and Terminations

Hi All,

 

Looking to calculate with DAX new hire retention in a given month based on an activity table. Issue is an employee may be hired and terminated many times (see employee 1 in example below). So I can't pivot the table to determine hire and termination dates in a given timeframe.

 

Calculation is (Ending Month's Continuous Headcount / Starting Month's Headcount)

 

Example Data below:

EmployeeActivityDate
1Hire1/1/2022
2Hire1/1/2022
1Termination1/5/2022
3Hire1/31/2022
4Hire1/31/2022
3Termination2/2/2022
1Hire2/5/2022
2Termination2/5/2022
1Termination2/6/2022
1Hire2/20/2022

 

For February, Employees 2, 3, and 4 were active at the start of the month. But only Employee 4 was active at the start and end of the month. So the calculation would be:

 

1/3 = 33%.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

    jdevries192 , With help from date table joined to your date of the table

     

    Active Employees = calculate(distinctCOUNT(EmpData[ID]) , filter(EmpData, EmpData[Date] <= max(Date[Date]) && [Activity] = "Hire" ))
    - calculate(distinctCOUNT(EmpData[ID]) , filter(EmpData, EmpData[Date] <= max(Date[Date]) && [Activity] = "Termination" ))

      You are counting all hires and terminations.

       

      I need those who are still active at the start of February (who have been hired but not terminated). And I need those who were active at the start of February and who are still active at the end of February.
