Retirement calculations

I have a table with employee data with the following information-

Employee number, name, fte, dob, age, date 

 

There is a row for every month they are employed with us.

I need to show a bar chart with a count by of staff sliced by age.

 

The outcome will mean I am able to see the count drop when people reach a set age 

Example

If 25 staff hit 65 in Sept 2023 then the total number for sept will be 65 less.

 

I also have a date table.

 

Thank you

Hi @SamBowdell ,

 

I suggest you to create a data model as below.

Fact table:

vrzhoumsft_2-1689837314837.png

Measure:

Count by Age = 
VAR _SELECTAGE =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( DimAge[Age] )
VAR _STEP1 =
    ADDCOLUMNS (
        ALL ( 'Table' ),
        "Current Age", QUOTIENT ( DATEDIFF ( 'Table'[Dob], MAX ( DimDate[Date] ), MONTH ), 12 )
    )
RETURN
    COUNTAX ( FILTER ( _STEP1, [Current Age] < _SELECTAGE ), [Name] )

Result is as below.

Hi, @SamBowdell 

 

1. Create  a calculated column using.

 

Retired = IF('EmployeeTable'[Age] >= 65, "Yes", "No")

 

2. Create measure for active employee count. 

 

ActiveCount = CALCULATE(
COUNT('EmployeeTable'[Employee number]),
FILTER('EmployeeTable', 'EmployeeTable'[Retired] = "No")
)

 

Hope this helps.
