Replicate this SQL query in DAX

Hello everyone. I wanted to know if there was a way to replicate, in mesasures, the following SQL queries in DAX, so that it looks as similar as possible to this:

Measure =
var variable1 = select customer from T1 where Filter1 and Filter2
var variable2 = select customer from T1 where Filter2 and Filter3

return
select count(customer) from variable2 where customer in (or not in) (select customer from variable1)

 

Or

 

Measure =
select count(customer) from T1
where Filter and Filter and customer in (
select customer from T1 where Filter and YFilter)

 

So far everything I've tried to do hasn't worked  🙃

 

Thanks!

    Hi cris1196 

    The following shall return unique count of customers. 

    Common Customers =
VAR T1 =
    CALCULATETABLE (
        VALUES ( 'Table'[Cutomer] ),
        'Table'[first_order] = "True",
        'Table'[YearMonth] = 202201
    )
VAR T2 =
    CALCULATETABLE (
        VALUES ( 'Table'[Cutomer] ),
        'Table'[Day] = 1,
        'Table'[YearMonth] = 202201
    )
RETURN
    COUNTROWS ( INTERSECT ( T2, T1 ) )
    New Customers =
VAR T1 =
    CALCULATETABLE (
        VALUES ( 'Table'[Cutomer] ),
        'Table'[first_order] = "True",
        'Table'[YearMonth] = 202201
    )
VAR T2 =
    CALCULATETABLE (
        VALUES ( 'Table'[Cutomer] ),
        'Table'[Day] = 1,
        'Table'[YearMonth] = 202201
    )
RETURN
    COUNTROWS ( EXCEPT ( T2, T1 ) )

      It worked, thanks! One last question, is there any way to "automate" this? That is, for example, I have twelve 7 yearmonth values (from 202101 to 202107). I know that if I weren't using a calculate, I could create a variable that is selectedvalue(T1[YearMonth]) and then use it as a filter, but in a "calculatedtable" it wouldn't work and I don't know if there is a way to emulate that.

       

      So at least, if I manage to get the year column to recognize me, I only have to create 31 variables (one per day), instead of 31 variables for each year/month/yearmonth
