Hi all,
I have a use call.
We need to identifie if a cusomer Id is new or existing according to date selection. The rule is quite simple:
- I have the following measures:
The chalenge is to create a matrix table with in row the customer Id in column the Year-Month (the entire historic is not affected by date slicer) which contains the volume. At the end my of matrix should look like this :
The tricky part is how to add the final right column which determines the status of the client for the current select.
If Someone has n indea ut will help me
Kind regards
Frédéric

Hi @frederic_FAURE ,
Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Fabric Community.
Thank you @Ashish_Mathur @FBergamaschi for the prompt response.
You are close - the trick is to calculate the status independently of the Year-Month context in your matrix. Keep your existing quantity measures, but add a separate one like this:
Customer Status Current Month =
VAR vThis = [Qty Reference Month]
VAR vBefore = [Qty Before Reference Month]
RETURN
IF ( NOT ISBLANK ( vThis ) && COALESCE ( vBefore, 0 ) = 0, "New", "Existing" )
Put Customer in rows, Year-Month in columns, and [Qty] in values.
Then add [Customer Status Current Month] as another value, and move it to the far-right of the matrix.
This way, the matrix shows historical volumes per month, and the last column shows New/Existing based only on the currently selected reference month.

Hi,
Share some data to work with and show the expected result. Share data in a format that can be pasted in an MS Excel file.
What is your Current DAX code for the measure [ReferenceMonth]? And hiw is your model organized? Can you share the pbix?
