Grouping by consecutive dates into date ranges
- 8 years ago
Essentially I have added 3 calculated columns to identify the boundaries of consective dates which can then be used for Groupings
SeriesBoundaries = VAR PriorName = CALCULATE ( VALUES ( TableName[Name] ), FILTER ( ALLEXCEPT ( TableName, TableName[Name] ), TableName[SeriesStart] = EARLIER ( TableName[SeriesStart] ) - 1 ) ) VAR NextName = CALCULATE ( VALUES ( TableName[Name] ), FILTER ( ALLEXCEPT ( TableName, TableName[Name] ), TableName[SeriesStart] = EARLIER ( TableName[SeriesStart] ) + 1 ) ) RETURN IF ( PriorName <> TableName[Name], "Series Start", IF ( NextName <> TableName[Name], "Series End" ) ) - 8 years ago
HI lkarolak
Please change the formua of Series Start as follows
SeriesStart = VAR PreviousDate = CALCULATE ( MAX ( TableName[Date ] ), FILTER ( TableName, TableName[Date ] < EARLIER ( TableName[Date ] ) ) ) VAR PreviousName = CALCULATE ( FIRSTNONBLANK ( TableName[Name], 1 ), FILTER ( TableName, TableName[Date ] = PreviousDate ) ) VAR myrank = RANKX ( TableName, TableName[Date ],, ASC, DENSE ) RETURN IF ( PreviousDate <> TableName[Date ] - 1 && TableName[Name] = PreviousName, myrank + 1, myrank )
Thank you Zubair_Muhammad
This approach with SUMMARIZE is fine, but when there are more than one ranges for a name, then it is not working correctly. I mean, if I have:
Date Name
---------------------
01.03.2018 Mark
02.03.2018 Mark
03.03.2018 Mark
07.03.2018 John
08.03.2018 John
15.03.2018 Steve
20.04.2018 Mark
21.04.2018 Mark
22.04.2018 Mark
Then the result for "Mark" would be :
Date from Date Until Name
------------------------------------
01.03.2018 22.04.2018 Mark
Which is wrong for my scenario.
I would need something like this:
Date from Date Until Name
------------------------------------
01.03.2018 03.03.2018 Mark
07.03.2018 08.03.2018 John
15.03.2018 15.03.2018 Steve
20.04.2018 22.04.2018 Mark
Thank you!

Thank you Zubair_Muhammad, it almost works :)
This is the actual initial data that I have:
But then I get this after using the approach you suggested. The first row is exactly what I want, however, the "single" ones are still listed:
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!
