Improper calculation for non closed items within a month

 

current behavior

I feel like I am overcomplicating my table but here is the graph I am generating today

 

 

 

However the Open Vs Closed (orange) is not correct for 2021-06.

It should be 17 (75-58) instead of 14.

Here is my table

The first 3 columns are not computed, the rest is and here are the formula per column

 
Opened Year and Month = FORMAT(DATE(YEAR([Open Date]),MONTH([Open Date]),1),"YYYY-MM")
Closed Year and Month = IF(ISBLANK('Incidents follow-up with Paris'[Closed Date]), "Not closed", FORMAT(DATE(YEAR([Closed Date]),MONTH([Closed Date]),1),"YYYY-MM"))
Opened by Month = 
CALCULATE (
Count('Incidents follow-up with Paris'[Opened Year and Month]),
ALL('Incidents follow-up with Paris'),
'Incidents follow-up with Paris'[Opened Year and Month] <= EARLIER ( 'Incidents follow-up with Paris'[Opened Year and Month] )
)
Closed by Month = 
IF ('Incidents follow-up with Paris'[Closed Year and Month] = "Not Closed", 0,(CALCULATE (
Count('Incidents follow-up with Paris'[Closed Year and Month]),
ALL ( 'Incidents follow-up with Paris'),
'Incidents follow-up with Paris'[Closed Year and Month] <= EARLIER ( 'Incidents follow-up with Paris'[Closed Year and Month])
)))
Open or Close = IF([Closed Year and Month] = "Not Closed", 'Incidents follow-up with Paris'[Opened Year and Month], 'Incidents follow-up with Paris'[Closed Year and Month])
Opened Vs Closed = if('Incidents follow-up with Paris'[Closed by Month] = 0, 0, [Opened by Month] - [Closed by Month])
 
 
My graph for Open Vs Close will take Maximum of Open Vs CLosed so it is going to take the 4th row starting from last cause there is no item closed in June yet ending up to 14.
 

 

 

expected behavior

Able to get the proper calculation either in table or in the graph for June i.e 17 (75 - 58) even if nothing is closed in June

 

 

 

Solution ( I am not able to reply to AllisonKennedy .... so I post my reply here)

Hi

I am not familiar with measure and had to scratch my head to find the formula but thanks for your advice AllisonKennedy , it helped me to solve it:

I added MEASURES indeed with below formula (I removed the column Opened vs Closed first)

 

Opened vs Closed = MAX('Incidents follow-up with Paris'[Opened by Month] ) - MAX('Incidents follow-up with Paris'[Closed by Month] )
 

 

  • jbrolland  You may need to do these as MEASURES not columns because in your calculated table, the value for 6 June is 72 (not 75) because the Opened Year and Month is still in May...
