count items filtered by DATEDIFF in direct query mode

Hi all,

 

I am using direct query and have this problem:

I want to count the useres which are not active since three months. Because of that I've created a measure which claculates the diffrence between today and the last active day for the users, so 1 for  not active , 0 for active .

Is inactive user since 90 days = IF( DATEDIFF(MAX('table'[TimestampUtc]);NOW();DAY)>90;1;0)

 

 It works well ! 

But when I need to create other measue which calculates the the count like this, I get this error:

count of inactive users = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('table'[UserId]);[Is inaktiver Nutzer seit 90 Tagen]=1)

I have read that, this formula is not supported in direct query, so I went another way with a table like this but it doesn't count the number of 1 ( it seems it shows the average):

What should I do !!

Thanks for Help 🙂

Give this a shot

 

count of inactive users =
CALCULATE (
    DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'table'[UserId] ),
    FILTER (
        ALLSELECTED ( 'table'[UserId] ),
        [Is inaktiver Nutzer seit 90 Tagen] = 1
    )
)
