Part 2 - DAX formula for Calculated Column - Lead in time/ Remaining days to order

I am trying to create a calculated column to show count for 'Remaining days to order'. The count is based on Total working days minus 10 days lead time from the time order is placed to the time when it is invoiced and shipped.

 

For convenience, i have placed a file and shared under my dropbox account. here is the link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/n0gumcr5wqy9aik/DAX%20formula%20for%20Calculated%20Column%20-%20Lead%20in%...

 

WIth help from a previous post (https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/DAX-formula-for-Calculated-Column-Lead-in-time-Remaining-da...), I have only been able to resolve this issue partially. However, the logic that is still missing is that once the calendar reaches new month (i.e. 07/01/2020), the counter for the "RemainingDaysToOrder" column should start with number located in the column next door to it called "Column" (i.e. 12) and continue counting down like it has so until "RemainingDaysToOrder" column reaches 1. Further, once that column reaches 1, then it remains 1 until it reaches dates of a new month (i.e. 08/01/2020), which is when it will again grab the corresponding number located in the column next door called "Column" (i.e. 10) and then it count downs again.

 

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

So sorry for late reply, had busy time.

You need to add the month and year filter to the variable b, try this dax:

 

RemainingDaysToOrder = 
var a=CALCULATE(MAX('Dates'[IsWorkingDay]),FILTER('Dates','Dates'[Date]=EARLIER(Dates[Date])-1))
var b= CALCULATE(COUNTROWS('Dates'),FILTER('Dates','Dates'[Date]<EARLIER('Dates'[Date])&&'Dates'[IsWorkingDay]=0 && Dates[Date].[Month]=EARLIER(Dates[Date].[Month])&&[Date].[Year]=EARLIER([Date].[Year])))
Return
IF('Dates'[IsWorkingDay]=0,BLANK(),
IF('Dates'[Column]+b>=1,'Dates'[Column]+b,1))

I have looked into the pbix. I see the logic you want but not clear with your expected result. Just to be sure, did you mean you want the 'Remaining days to order' column like:

 

Date column Remaining days to order
2020.2.1 9 9
2020.2.2 8 8
2020.2.3 7 7
... ... ...
.. 1 1
... 0 1
...... 1
2020.3.11212

 

Regards
Paul

Hello, I am still needing assistance with this issue. Please assist.

Yes, you interpretation below is correct. I would like the "RemainingDaysToOrder" column to behave like this

 

Dates Holiday IsWorkingDay Day Type Column RemainingDaysToOrder
07/01/2020 0 1 Weekday 11 11
07/02/2020 0 1 Weekday 10 10
07/03/2020 1 0 Weekday 9  
07/04/2020 1 0 Weekend 8  
07/05/2020 0 0 Weekend 7  
07/06/2020 0 1 Weekday 6 9
07/07/2020 0 1 Weekday 5 8
07/08/2020 0 1 Weekday 4 7
07/09/2020 0 1 Weekday 3 6
07/10/2020 0 1 Weekday 2 5
07/11/2020 0 0 Weekend 1  
07/12/2020 0 0 Weekend 0  
07/13/2020 0 1 Weekday -1 4
07/14/2020 0 1 Weekday -2 3
07/15/2020 0 1 Weekday -3 2
07/16/2020 0 1 Weekday -4 1
07/17/2020 0 1 Weekday -5 1
07/18/2020 0 0 Weekend -6  
07/19/2020 0 0 Weekend -7  
07/20/2020 0 1 Weekday -8 1
07/21/2020 0 1 Weekday -9 1
...          
07/29/2020 0 1 Weekday -17 1
07/30/2020 0 1 Weekday -18 1
07/31/2020 0 1 Weekday -19 1
08/01/2020 0 0 Weekend 10  
08/02/2020 0 0 Weekend 9  
08/03/2020 0 1 Weekday 8 10
08/04/2020 0 1 Weekday 7 9
08/05/2020 0 1 Weekday 6 8
08/06/2020 0 1 Weekday 5 7
...          

 

In another words, I would like the "RemainingDaysToOrder" column to stop counting if it is either Holiday or Weekend and then pickup countdown when "IsWorkingDay" column  shows 1 or when "Date Type" column shows Weekday.

The issue is not resolved. Please assist
