Determining lost customers

I am trying to calculate/identify the customer accounts that have been lost.

 

Problem: I have a dataset of all the workorders perofrmed for the last 5 Years. I need to isolate all the customers that are in the 5 year data based on the criteria 'we did not work with them in 2020'.

 

Attempted Solution: I created a filtered DAX table that isolated all the 2020 Customers from the master dataset. I am planning on adding a column to the Master 5 Year workorder table to return True or False if they exist on the 2020 Customer Table. I used the DAX formula Contains to see if the Customer ID was present in the 2020 Table to return a True or False Flag to Validate if we did work with that customer within the last year. This apporach errors out with a circular apporch. Is their a better approach?

@HillUser1 , You can create a measure

Sales = sum(Sales[Amount])

if(isblank([sales]),1,0) , plot this with customer table , you will get customer who has not purchased from you till now.

 

On the same line refer to my blog for other combinations
