Filter Date from multiple tables

Hi,

 

I am new to DAX scripting and I trying to script the following condition:

  • I want to calculate All the sales calls and emails sent to customers before their 1st purchase date, for every customer.

 

Data:

Table 1:

Customer IDDateCallsEmails
11/1/201823
11/2/201812
11/1/201923
21/1/201956

 

Table2:

Customer IDFirst Purchase Date
15/6/2018
22/3/2019

 

Any help would be appreciated!

 

Thanks

Hello!

 

First, start by creating a one-to-many relationship from Table2 to Table1.

Then I created two measures to solve this, one for calls and one for emails:

 

Calls Before First Purchase Date = CALCULATE(SUM(Table1[Calls]), FILTER(Table1, Table1[Date] <= RELATED(Table2[First Purchase Date])))
Emails Before First Purchase Date = CALCULATE(SUM(Table1[Emails]), FILTER(Table1, Table1[Date] <= RELATED(Table2[First Purchase Date])))

Calculate the sum of the number of calls/emails for each Customer ID, but apply a filter such that the date of the emails are earlier than the first purchase date. Since we have created the one-to-many relationship between these two tables, the related function can find the corresponding first purchase date for the given Customer ID.

 

Hope this helps!
