Need Help Fixing Measure - Summing a count

Hi All, 

 

So i have the following measures:

 

Current Month - Selects the Cost Center for the Currently Selected Month

 

Current Month = 
var FileDate = SELECTEDVALUE(Dates[File Name])
return
IF(ISBLANK((CALCULATE(SELECTEDVALUE(Workday[Cost Center - ID]), Workday[File Name] = FileDate))), "Exit", CALCULATE(SELECTEDVALUE(Workday[Cost Center - ID]), Workday[File Name] = FileDate ))

 

 

 


Previous Month Cost Center - Calculated Column that gets the prior months Cost Center for each row 

 

Previous Month Cost Center = 
VAR __prevDate = 
CALCULATE( 
    MAX( Workday[File Name] ), 
    FILTER( 
        ALLEXCEPT( 'Workday', Workday[Associate ID] ),  
        'Workday'[File Name] < MAX( Workday[File Name] )
    )
)
RETURN
    CALCULATE( MAX( Workday[Cost Center - ID]), ALLEXCEPT( 'Workday', Workday[Associate ID] ), Workday[File Name] = __prevDate )

 

 

Transfer Check - Checks if the Prior and Current Months Cost Centers have changed

 

 

TransferCheck = IF(AND([Current Month] <> [Prev], AND([Current Month] <> "", [Prev] <> "")), 1, 0)

 

 

ExitCheck - Checks to see if a record existed in previous month, but not the current month

 

ExitCheck = IF([Current Month] = "Exit", 1, 0)

 

 

 

I now want to summarize the ExitCheck flag. I have successfully done this with other measures, such as "TransferCheck" which is the following:

 

 

Transfer Count = 
sumx(Values(Workday[Associate ID]),[TransferCheck])

 

 

This gives me my desired outputs, showing a count by Business for "Transfers". However, when I apply this exact same logic to "ExitCheck", i only get zeroes. Is there something different i should be doing?

 

 

Also, here is my (simple) data model

Hi  @Anonymous ,

I created some data:

Here are the steps you can follow:

1. If you want to calculate the total of [ExitCheck], you can create measure:

all_sum = SUMX(ALL('Table'),'Table'[ExitCheck])

2. If you want to calculate [ExitCheck] in groups, you can create measure:

group_sum = SUMX(FILTER(ALL('Table'),[ExitCheck]=MAX('Table'[ExitCheck])),[ExitCheck])

3. Result:

If the result does not meet your expectations, can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.
