Show number of requisition who were open

Hello,

 

I have the following table (example) with job requisitions who are open or closed with specific dates. Now I want to know how many requisitions were open in August (in a month, quarter, year..). In addition I want to be able to filter the visual by department etc., it is not just display a number.

Hi @checkner ,

I created a sample pbix file(see the attachment), please check if that is what you want.

1. Create a date dimension table(DO NOT create any relationship with the fact table)

2. Create a measure as below to get the number of requisition who were open

Number of requisition who were open = 
VAR _seldate =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Date'[Date] )
VAR _yearmonth =
    YEAR ( _seldate ) & FORMAT ( _seldate, "MM" )
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Table'[ID] ),
        FILTER (
            ALLSELECTED ( 'Table' ),
            YEAR ( 'Table'[Opend date] ) & FORMAT ( 'Table'[Opend date], "MM" ) <= _yearmonth
                && (
                    ISBLANK ( 'Table'[Closed date] )
                        || YEAR ( 'Table'[Closed date] ) & FORMAT ( 'Table'[Closed date], "MM" ) >= _yearmonth
                )
        )
    )

3. Create a line chart

The problem with the calculation is that it only gives me the open ones. However, I need the jobs that were open in the respective months/quarters. 


Correct should be: 4 in August, 5 in September, 4 in October
