Filtered Count Including Previous Transactions but Excluding Future Transactions

The goal is to count transactions that were previously done but exclude any for the future. Ex: Count all transactions that happened in January 2023 but for February 2023 (and beyond), only Pizza transactions. I was successful in creating a filter that will only count Pizza transactions but I am confused on how I can get the January 2023 Sushi transaction to be counted (excluding Sushi February 2023 transactions and beyond). Below you will find sample data and expected output for context. 

 

Your support is greatly appreciated. 

 

Sample DAX Measure: I am aware that this filters out all Sushi transactions but confused on how to include just January 2023 and exclude any after

 

 

CALCULATE(
    COUNT( trans_id )
    ,FILTER(
        transactions
        ,transactions.product_code <> '200'
    )
)

 

 

 

Sample Data

trans_id product_code product date
1 100 Cheese Pizza 1-Jan-23
2 100 Cheese Pizza 2-Jan-23
3 200 Sushi 2-Jan-23
4 300 Pineapple Pizza 30-Jan-23
5 200 Sushi 3-Feb-23
6 100 Cheese Pizza 9-Feb-23
7 200 Sushi 20-Feb-23
8 300 Pineapple Pizza 22-Feb-23
9 300 Pineapple Pizza 25-Feb-23
10 200 Sushi 28-Feb-23

Expected Output: Notice that January 2023 Sushi transaction was counted but excluded from February 2023

product_code product month_year transaction_count
100 Cheese Pizza Jan-23 2
200 Sushi Jan-23 1
300 Pineapple Pizza Jan-23 1
100 Cheese Pizza Feb-23 1
300 Pineapple Pizza Feb-23 2

    parry2k thank you so much for your support but I was able to rework some other measures and filters within my project to provide the expected output. Regarding your question, for this specific example...yes this logic is only applying towards "Sushi". But my true application will be filtering a few dozen more items.

  • Anonymous one thing is not clear, is this logic only applied to sushi?

  • Anonymous You marked this post as solved, I guess you already have the solution, correct? From your last reply, it was not clear if you need further help or if you are good to go. 🤷‍♂️
