DISTINCTCOUNT of employees based on arguments

Hi Guys. 

Looking for some help with measures/calculated columns. 

azakir_0-1665388355877.png

 

 

Goal is to come up with a calculation that identifies whether: 

 

  • Employee had salary change with grade change
  • Employee had salary change with no grade change

From above example, Emp2 had both grade and salary change in Feb-22, but then again, changed salary in Mar-222 but grade remained the same. Emp3 had changes all the 3 months.

@azakir , With help from a date Table

 

This Month Grade= CALCULATE(Max(Table[Grade]),DATESMTD('Date'[Date]))
Last Month Grade= CALCULATE(Max(Table[Grade]),DATESMTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,MONTH)))

 

This Month Salary= CALCULATE(Max(Table[Salary]),DATESMTD('Date'[Date]))
Last Month Salary= CALCULATE(Max(Table[Salary]),DATESMTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,MONTH)))

 

now create measures like

Changed grade
countx(values(Table[Employee]), if(not(isblank([This Month Grade])) && not(isblank([Last Month Grade])) && [This Month Grade] <> [Last Month Grade], [Employee], blank()))

 

Do same for salary
