Using related in a measure

Hi,

 

I have a simple query where i count the no. issues closed during each month and hence i created a date table and have a n:1 (GetIssue[Closed_date] : DateKey[Date])relationship with my date table and this is an inactive relationship so i use USERRELATIONSHIP. But my final values seem to be very less. Any insight will be helpful 

 

PowerBI.PNGDate table

Query :

ClosedBugs = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(GetIssues[id]),FILTER(GetIssues,'GetIssues'[Closed_date] >=RELATED(DateKey[StartofCurrentMonth]) && 'GetIssues'[Closed_date]< RELATED(DateKey[StartofNextMonth]),USERELATIONSHIP(GetIssues[Closed_date],DateKey[Date])) 

 

 

Thanks,

Aishwarya

Hi,

 

Try this measure

 

=CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(GetIssues[id]),USERELATIONSHIP(GetIssues[Closed_date],DateKey[Date]))

Thank you! I had initially tried this out but when i combine it with additional filters it wouldnt work. Am not sure if my query with filters and calculate is wrong For example : 

 

ClosedBugs = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(GetIssues[id]),FILTER(GetIssues,'GetIssues'[issuetype] ="Bug" && 'GetIssues'[Priority] in {P1,P2} ,USERELATIONSHIP(GetIssues[Closed_date],DateKey[Date])) 

Hi,

 

Try this

 

=CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(GetIssues[id]),'GetIssues'[issuetype]="Bug",'GetIssues'[Priority]="P1"||'GetIssues'[Priority]="P1", ,USERELATIONSHIP(GetIssues[Closed_date],DateKey[Date]))

I settled for adding filters under the visual filters, and just using distinct count and userelationship.

 

Got stuck with a new problem, am trying to calculate backlog bugs i.e all bugs created before the next month but closed after next month.

My query is the following but i think am going wrong with the order of precendence/filter because my values are way off. 

 

backLogBugs = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(GetIssues[id]),Filter(GetIssues, (GetIssues[created]< Related(DateKey(StartofNextMonth) && GetIssues[customfield_10030] > Related(DateKey(StartofNextMonth)) || (GetIssues[created] < Related(DateKey(StartofNextMonth) && GetIssues[status.name] <> "Closed"))

 

Thanks for you help!

Hi,

 

I am not clear.  Share some data and show the expected result.

Hi @Anonymous,

 

I'd like to suggest you take a look at following blog to know how to use userelationship function in calculate column:

If above not help, can you please share some sample data to test?
