Hello,
I need help with a DAX expression, or M forumla I guess, to find orders placed by the same customer for the same thing in close proximity to one another.
I want to be able to group, further transform and visualise rows which contain an order from a customer who has ordered the same product within a period of 30 days of another similar order.
From the example data you can see customer 1 orders eggs 4 times. The egg orders in rows 1, 4 and 6 are all placed within 30 days of another order so I want to populate my new column with a "Yes". The egg order in row 9 isn't within 30 days of another order, so that gets a "No" in the new column.
Similarly customer 3 places 2 carrot orders within 30 days of each other, so the orders in rows 4 and 8 also get a "Yes" in the new column.
I'm sure I need to use the EALIER function somehow, but I can't figure how to express it.
Any help greatly appreciated!
Example Data Table
Row | Order Date | Customer UID | Product | Quantity Ordered | New Column Placed within 30 days of another order |
1 | 01/05/2022 | 1 | Eggs | 10 | Yes |
2 | 01/10/2022 | 1 | Carrots | 5 | No |
3 | 01/15/2022 | 2 | Tomatoes | 1 | No |
4 | 01/16/2022 | 1 | Eggs | 15 | Yes |
5 | 01/21/2022 | 3 | Carrots | 5 | Yes |
6 | 02/04/2022 | 1 | Eggs | 12 | Yes |
7 | 02/04/2022 | 2 | Carrots | 10 | No |
8 | 02/15/2022 | 3 | Carrots | 4 | Yes |
9 | 03/16/2022 | 1 | Eggs | 21 | No |

Hi,
I am not sure if I understood your question correctly, but please check the below picture and the attached pbix file.
It is for creating a new column.
Placed within 30 days of another order CC =
VAR _currentorderdate = 'Table'[Order Date]
VAR _nextorderdate =
MINX (
FILTER (
'Table',
'Table'[Customer UID] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[Customer UID] )
&& 'Table'[Product] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[Product] )
&& 'Table'[Order Date] > EARLIER ( 'Table'[Order Date] )
),
'Table'[Order Date]
)
VAR _prevorderdate =
MAXX (
FILTER (
'Table',
'Table'[Customer UID] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[Customer UID] )
&& 'Table'[Product] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[Product] )
&& 'Table'[Order Date] < EARLIER ( 'Table'[Order Date] )
),
'Table'[Order Date]
)
RETURN
SWITCH (
TRUE (),
ISBLANK ( _prevorderdate ) && ISBLANK ( _nextorderdate ), "No",
NOT ISBLANK ( _nextorderdate )
&& DATEDIFF ( _currentorderdate, _nextorderdate, DAY ) < 30, "Yes",
NOT ISBLANK ( _prevorderdate )
&& DATEDIFF ( _prevorderdate, _currentorderdate, DAY ) < 30, "Yes",
"No"
)
