Need to calculate days since last OSHA incident in a few areas

I used the following custom column that @Anonymous made in a different post to create a column in order to calculate the days between the last OSHA recordable 

 

"Days since incident =
IF(
Safety_Incidents[OSHA Incidents] = "Yes",
DATEDIFF(
CALCULATE(
MAX( Safety_Incidents[Date of Incident]),
FILTER(Safety_Incidents, Safety_Incidents[Date of Incident] < EARLIER(Safety_Incidents[Date of Incident] )),
FILTER(Safety_Incidents, Safety_Incidents[OSHA Incidents] = "yes")
),
Safety_Incidents[Date of Incident],
Day
),
Blank ()
)"

 

It worked great, but when I create a table it only shows the areas for the current month in the slicer and I would like for it to show total between incidents regardless of the slicer so it can be cumulative.

Any suggestions?

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Please create a new measure:

Days since last OSHA =
VAR __max_date =
    MAX ( 'Date'[Date] )
VAR __result =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Safety_Incidents'[Days since incident] ),
        'Date'[Date] <= __max_date
    )
RETURN
    __result

@Anonymous Sorry, having trouble following, can you post sample data as text and expected output?
Not really enough information to go on, please first check if your issue is a common issue listed here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/Before-You-Post-Read-This/ba-p/1116882

Also, please see this post regarding How to Get Your Question Answered Quickly: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/How-to-Get-Your-Question-Answered-Quickly/ba-p/38490

The most important parts are:
1. Sample data as text, use the table tool in the editing bar
2. Expected output from sample data
3. Explanation in words of how to get from 1. to 2.
