Figuring Out Calculations Based on Relative Dates

So here's my problem, I'll simply  the data set to the only things I need. Ultimately I'm trying to see how many hours are worked on a ticket, X days out from the ticket creation.

 

In table 1, I have tickets name and ticket created date.

In table 2, I have ticket name, hours worked, and worked date.


Or in other words:

 

table 1:

Fix Staging, 7/20/2020

Client Advocate, 7/15/2020

 

table 2

Fix staging, ,2 hours, 7/20/2020

Fix staging, 4 hours, 7/25/2020
Client Advocate, 7 hours, 7/24/2020

 

What I'm trying to get, is a formula in which I can ideally refrence a slicer to answer the question of "Show me how many hours were worked on a ticket within the first X days since the ticket was created." X ideally being something I can manually alter using a slicer on the page as opposed to within a formula.

 

Thanks!

@alexsr , ideally ticket should able to act as a master for ticket name.

 

Few ways. One way is table 2 join with date table on worked date and with M-1 with ticket.

And you can populate created date in Table2

 

New column in table 2

Created date = related(Table1[Created Date])

Join this also with date table and with help from userelation active join in calculation

Another way do not join Table1 and Table2, join both with common dimension like date.

New column in table 2

Created date = minx(filter(Table, Table1[Name]=table2[name]),table1[created date])

Excellent thank you, that worked! And what about referencing the X in a slicer of some sort? How do I do that?

Hi @alexsr

 

Create a slicer table as below:

Slicer Table = GENERATESERIES(1,30,1)

Then create a measure as below:

Measure = 
var _mindate=CALCULATE(MIN('Table 2'[Worked date]),FILTER(ALL('Table 2'),'Table 2'[ticket name]=MAX('Table 2'[ticket name])))
var _mindiff=DATEDIFF(MAX('Table 2'[Created date]),_mindate,DAY)
Return
IF(SELECTEDVALUE('Slicer Table'[Value])<_mindiff,0,SUMX(FILTER(ALL('Table 2'),'Table 2'[ticket name]=MAX('Table 2'[ticket name])&&'Table 2'[Worked date]<=SELECTEDVALUE('Slicer Table'[Value])+MAX('Table 2'[Created date])),VALUE(LEFT('Table 2'[hours worked],1))))

And you will see:
