Filter and sum

[bsushy]

I would like to create a calculated column "MemberMonthCount for each ID" based on "ID" and "YEARMONTH"

My aim is to find the sum of those member months for a date range.

Memeber months should be calculated only for those members which belong to that particular roster month which is selected using a slicer. Also the YearMonth should lie in the date range selected in another slicer.

In this scenario, what you want to return is just a DISTINCTCOUNT() of members within the YEARMONTH range your selected. You can just create a measure like below:

Distinct Members =
CALCULATE ( DISTINCTCOUNT ( Table[ID] ), ALLSELECTED ( Table[YEARMONTH] ) )

By doing this i would just get the distinct ID's in each membermonth. But i would like to calculate in how many membermonths those Id's (from selected membermonth '201704')  have appeared in the selected range ('201705-201605')

Seems like you could just do a SUM of MemberMonthCount but not enough information to really say.

@Greg_DecklerCould you help me with the calculated column "MemberMonthCount".

How do I write it....It should also be calculated only for those ID's which are in that selected memeber month '201704'

..Then it would be easy for me to write a measure for the sum.

Is your raw data just like in the image where you have ID and YEARMONTH columns in your data table? Please confirm and if not, please post some sample raw data.

@Greg_Deckler: Yes.My data has ID and Yearmonth....I need to calculate MemberMonthCount...Thank you for the promt reply.

OK, to clarify one last point, I would assume that this is a subset of the data and that the members would have a continuous membership up until the time selected in the YEARMONTH slicer (201704 in your example). So, if I am following what you are trying to do, you are trying to choose a particular YEARMONTH and for members for that particular YEARMONTH, you are trying to see how long they have been a member for the date range selected and get a sum of that value. Is that all correct?

Members do not have a continuous membership up until the time selected in the YEARMONTH slicer (201704 in the example).

They can be in one YEARMONTH and not be in another YEARMONTH in the date range.

Is that all correct?---This is exactly what I need.

In your query, right-click your YEARMONTH column and duplicate it. Then, use YEARMONTH as your list slicer and YEARMONTH - Copy as your date range slicer. Then you can create a measure like this:

Measure 5 = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('Members'[YEARMONTH]),ALLEXCEPT('Members','Members'[YEARMONTH - Copy]))
