YTD Calculation

Hi all,

 

I have previously posted about this but have now ran into another issue. I am currently trying to create a dashboard using PowerBI that calculates our employee turnover.

 

  1. I have used the below calculation to try and get my headcount figure from raw data. The column is Month and retruns the date (1/01/2018, 1/02/2018 etc).

    However, what I need it to do is for January count those with date 1/01/2018 and then divide by 1 for February count those for January and February and divide by 2.. and so on.

    Unfortunately I can't create a summarised table as I then need to slice by team.

    2018 Average YTD Headcount = TOTALYTD(
                COUNT('2018 Headcount'[Month]),
                '2018 Date'[Month]
                ) 
                / MAX('2018 Date'[Month Number])
  2.  Rolling leavers - similar issue as I need January to count and then February to add the count for Jan and Feb.
TEST 2018 Monthly Leavers running total in Month = 
CALCULATE(
	[TEST - Jan 18 YTD Perm Leavers],
	FILTER(
		ALLSELECTED('2017 Date'[Month]),
		ISONORAFTER('2017 Date'[Month], MAX('2017 Date'[Month]), DESC)
	)
)

 

Below is what it is returning;

 

 

When it should be:

 

 

Any ideas or thoughts would be great!!

    Hi Anonymous，

     

    You could create the measure below to get your expected output.

     

    1. The measure of Average YTD Headcount: 

     

    Average YTD Headcount =
VAR rolling_sum =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'year Headcount'[Monthly Headcount] ),
        FILTER (
            ALL ( 'year Headcount' ),
            YEAR ( 'year Headcount'[Month] ) = YEAR ( MAX ( 'year Headcount'[Month] ) )
                && 'year Headcount'[Month] <= MAX ( 'year Headcount'[Month] )
        )
    )
VAR month_number =
    MAX ( 'year Headcount'[MonthNumber] )
RETURN
    rolling_sum / month_number

    2. The measure of Rolling leavers:

     

    TEST  Monthly Leavers running total in Month =
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( 'year Headcount'[Monthly leaves] ),
    FILTER (
        ALL ( 'year Headcount' ),
        YEAR ( 'year Headcount'[Month] ) = YEAR ( MAX ( 'year Headcount'[Month] ) )
            && 'year Headcount'[Month] <= MAX ( 'year Headcount'[Month] )
    )
)

    Then you will get the output below.

     

     

    Hope it can help you !

    Best Regards,

      I think I have figured it out - however, how I need to filter the Headcount by Team - all my data is linked through relationships but the YTD headcount doesn't change when I select a team through one of my slicers. I tried updating the equation to the below:

       

      Link to sample raw data:

       

      https://www.dropbox.com/s/c08cakt6503oh27/1801_Power%20Bi%20Data%20Sample_Turnover%20Raw%20Data.xlsx?dl=0

       

      2 Tabs - Headcount and Leavers.

       

      Both tabs have a month column that I need referenced..

       

      Any help would be great because I am completely stumped.

       

       

      Average YTD Headcount = 
VAR rolling_sum =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM(COUNT('2017 Headcount')),
        FILTER (
            ALL ( '2017 Headcount' ),
            YEAR ( '2017 Headcount'[Month] ) = YEAR ( MAX ( '2017 Headcount'[Month] ) )
                && '2017 Headcount'[Month] <= MAX ( '2017 Headcount'[Month] )
        )
    )
VAR month_number =
    MAX ( '2017 Headcount'[TEST Month Number 2017] )
RETURN
    rolling_sum / month_number
