Hi @adoalan ,

 

I am unable to reproduce this question for the time being. Can you provide the relevant test data and describe it so that I can answer it for you as soon as possible?

(1) How to provide sample data in the Power BI Forum - Microsoft Power BI Community


Looking forward to your reply.


Best Regards,
Henry

No Previous GAD =
VAR StartDate = CALCULATE(MIN('Gift Aid Declarations'[Created On]), ALLSELECTED('Gift Aid Declarations'))

VAR CurrGAD =
FILTER (
    DISTINCT  (
        SELECTCOLUMNS (
        'Gift Aid Declarations', "Supporter ID", 'Gift Aid Declarations'[Supporter ID])
        ),
    NOT (ISBLANK([Supporter ID]))
)  
VAR PrevGAD = CALCULATETABLE(
    VALUES('Gift Aid Declarations'[Supporter ID]),
    'Gift Aid Declarations'[First GAD Created On] < StartDate &&
    'Gift Aid Declarations'[Supporter ID]<> BLANK()
)

RETURN

IF(
    COUNTROWS(EXCEPT(CurrGAD, PrevGAD)) = BLANK(),
    0,
    COUNTROWS(EXCEPT(CurrGAD, PrevGAD))
)
