DAX - Check number of months between 2 dates for each Product

Hi All,

 

 

I am relatively new to PBI and need some help.

 

I have a dataset which is similar to the below

Product             Expiry Date          Date          
Coke        02/02/2023           Jan-21       
Pepsi     23/08/2024          Jan-21         
7up      01/01/2023          Jan-21         
Fanta Jan-21
Coke       02/02/2023           Feb-21          
Pepsi        05/08/2024        Feb-21          
7up       01/01/2023          Feb-21           
Fanta02/04/2023Feb-21
Coke        08/05/2023         Mar-21           
Pepsi        23/08/2024         Mar-21          
7up        27/01/2023       Mar-21             
Fanta02/02/2023Mar-21

 

What I want to do is to create a table that groups each Product and then take the min date from the "Date" column and the max date from the "Date" column  (in this case it would be Jan-21 and Mar-21) and then compare the corresponding Expiry Date rows for each product to see if the expiry date had changed and log the change in a "Changes" column

 

The desired output would be something like this:

Product              Changes
Coke       > 1 month change
Pepsi       No change
7up    <1 month change
FantaNo Expiry Date

 

 

If an expiry date is missing for the min or max date return "No expiry date"

Hi @obriaincian 

Try this, 

Measure = 
var _minDate= CALCULATE(MIN('Table'[Date]),ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[Product]))
var _maxDate= CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[Date]),ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[Product]))
var _minED=  CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[Expiry Date]),FILTER( ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[Product]),'Table'[Date]=_minDate))
var _maxED=  CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[Expiry Date]),FILTER( ALLEXCEPT('Table','Table'[Product]),'Table'[Date]=_maxDate))
return SWITCH(TRUE(),
ISBLANK(_minED) || ISBLANK(_maxED), "No Expiry Date",
_maxED=_minED,"No change",
_maxED>EOMONTH(_minED,0),"> 1 month change",
_maxED<EOMONTH(_minED,0),"< 1 month change"
)

result

Is the Date field an actual date or is it text?
