I want this calculation to work, so that I can create a slicer that shows sum of purchases a customer made day 5, 14 and 30 after they received an email.
There are 2 filters that need to work
1. measurement_group: control - which works fine
2. days_orders - doesn't work (A function 'PLACEHOLDER' has been used in a True/False expression that is used as a table filter expression. This is not allowed.)
| Total Conversion Control = |
| CALCULATE( |
| COUNT('Customers'[custid]), |
| Onboard'[measurement_group] = "Control", |
| [Days_orders] > 0) |
Days_orders come from a linked table to solve this issue (sum the number of transactions in a given measure day):
| Days_orders = switch (TRUE, |
| Min ( Msr1[MsrId]) = 5, |
| Sum ( 'Onboard'[num_trx_5days] ), |
| Min ( Msr1[MsrId] ) = 14, |
| Sum ('Onboard'[num_trx_14days] ), |
| Min ( Msr1[MsrId] ) = 30, |
| Sum ( 'Onboard'[num_trx_30days] )) |
