Totals by Month and Previous Quarter

I am tracking a list of users' total sales for incentive purposes. Incentives are paid on a monthly & quarterly basis, using a point system to determine the incentive. Points are assigned as follows:

0-2 sales : 1 point
3-5 sales : 2 points
5+ sales : 3 points

 

For some reason I am struggling to figure out how to calculate the total number of points by month & by quarter for each user, including the quarter-to-date totals. Here is an example:

 

 UserTotal
Jan-23A2
Feb-23A0
Mar-23A3
Apr-23A4
Jan-23B6
Feb-23B0
Mar-23B0
Apr-23B0
Jan-23C0
Feb-23C0
Mar-23C1
Apr-23C0

 

Any idea how I can produce these results?

Feb-23A01
Mar-23A32
Apr-23A42
Jan-23B63

In my case, the quarterly amount is not a sum of the points, it is based on the sum of the total sales. For example, User A had 5 total sales in Q1, so it should be 2 points. This is where I am struggling the most. I can get the monthly totals working, but I can't figure out how to do it quarterly (and show it in the same matrix if possible). Any ideas?

Hi  @saie5073 ,

 

Here are the steps you can follow:

1. Create calculated column.

Month-Year =
FORMAT(
    'Table'[Date],"mmm")
    &"-"&
FORMAT('Table'[Date],"yy")

2. Create measure.

Value =
SUMX(
    FILTER(ALL('Table'),
    'Table'[Month-Year]=MAX('Table'[Month-Year])&&'Table'[User]=MAX('Table'[User])),[Total])
Point =
SWITCH(
    TRUE(),
    [Value]>=0&&[Value]<=2,1,
    [Value]>=3&&[Value]<=5,2,3)
1Q points =
SUMX(
    FILTER(ALL('Table'),
    'Table'[User]=MAX('Table'[User])
    &&
    YEAR('Table'[Date])=YEAR(MAX('Table'[Date]))&&
    QUARTER('Table'[Date])=1
    ),[Point])
2Q points =
SUMX(
    FILTER(ALL('Table'),
    'Table'[User]=MAX('Table'[User])
    &&
   YEAR('Table'[Date])=YEAR(MAX('Table'[Date]))&&
    QUARTER('Table'[Date])=2
    ),[Point])

3. Result:

@saie5073 The first one should be something like:

Points Measure = 
  VAR __Sum = SUM('Table'[Total])
  VAR __Result = 
    SWITCH(TRUE(),
      __Sum < 3, 1,
      __Sum < 6, 2,
      3
    )
RETURN
  __Result
