Need help in creating an inflow/outflow chart using Power BI

[Anonymous]

Hi All,

I have been looking to create an inflow/outflow report with the below data where I am expecting a Bar Chart with Count of Numbers Opened Vs Count of Numbers Closed for each month and year.

I could achieve Opened Count Separately and Closed Count Separately. Not able to include them both in a Column Chart for showcasing the inflow vs outflow.

Any idea of achieving the same?

Thanks in Advance!

Arun

Hi @v-chuncz-msft ,

I tried it but it is not giving me any result and I am getting an empty chart. I used the below formula for a Calendar table:

Date = ADDCOLUMNS

(CALENDAR(DATE(2000,1,1),DATE(2050,12,31)),

"Year", YEAR([Date]),

"Monthnumber", FORMAT ( [Date], "MM" ),

"YearMonthnumber", FORMAT ( [Date], "YYYY/MM" ),

"YearMonthShort", FORMAT ( [Date], "YYYY/mmm" ),

"MonthNameShort", FORMAT ( [Date], "mmm" ),

"MonthNameLong", FORMAT ( [Date], "mmmm" ),

"DayOfWeekNumber", WEEKDAY ( [Date] ),

"DayOfWeek", FORMAT ( [Date], "dddd" ),

"DayOfWeekShort", FORMAT ( [Date], "ddd" ),

"Quarter", "Q" & FORMAT ( [Date], "Q" ),

"YearQuarter", FORMAT ( [Date], "YYYY" ) & "/Q" & FORMAT ( [Date], "Q" )

)

And created inflow and outflow using the below measures:

Inflow =
VAR d =
MAX ( 'Calendar'[Date] )
RETURN
CALCULATE (
DISTINCTCOUNT ('Page 1 (2)'[Number]),
'Page 1 (2)'[Opened] = d
)

Outflow =
VAR d =
MAX('Date'[Date])
RETURN
CALCULATE(
DISTINCTCOUNT('Page 1 (2)'[Number]),
'Page 1 (2)'[Closed] = d
)

Am I missing something?

Thanks,

Arun

I figured out what I was doing as wrong. I need to ensure that the format of the columns should match one another.

FORMAT should MM/DD/YYYY for all the date fields even on the calendar for it to work.

I was trying to match MMM/YYYY with MM/DD/YYYY.

Now it has been corrected and it is working as it should.
