Opened vs closed column chart with date filter

[CraigC]

Hi All,

I am trying to create something like the below where i can compare how many incidents were opened per a day and how many incidents were closed per day. I have a column called Open Date and a Column Called Closed date. I do not have a date table.

Thank you

I'd just create a date table and then relate your open date/closed date columns to it - as one of these relationships would be inactive you may need to stick a USERELATIONSHIP option in a measure to count whichever isn't going to be the primary relationship (assuming you just have the one data table)

Hi Jthomson, thanks for the idea. Any help in creating the date table would be greatly appreciated. Would i need to constantly refresh the date table to a new date range?

I mainly use custom tables as I want to include more than just a list of dates, but if you utilise CALENDARAUTO then it should be able to dynamically work out the earliest/latest dates based on your data set

I have checked around for the right way to create a date table but havent been able to find a definitive answer unfortunately.

hope this link will help to create date table

Ok so i have a date table with both my opened incidents and closed incidents linked to the date column. The closed incident column being an inactive link with the opened incidents being the active link. If i create the graph now it will display the same info for the opened and closed incidents. How do i go about linking the closed incidents column now to show the right data?

Hi @CraigC,

Have you tried the solution provided by @parry2k above? Does it work in your scenario? If it works, could you accept it as solution to close this thread?

If you still have any question on this issue, feel free to post here.

Worked perfectly thank you. I just added the current month filter to the date table and everything works.

create a measure for closed incident using userelationship function like below and use this on visual

Closed Incidents = 
Calculate(Count(Table1[Incident]),
UseRelationship(Table1[CloseDate], Calendar[Date])
)

Been trying to use this formula but trying not to count rows for closed dates that are blank as the incidents are not closed yet.
