dashboard with dynamic date
Hi, I'm new to BI.
- Interactive chart for selecting the year and month
- 2-column histogram relating to the selected time:
X-axis: person1; person2,
Y-axis: count of closed issue IDs
Hi blabla702
The quick and dirty solution is to create resolution year and resolution month calculated columns :Use these 2 columns as slicers:
And create a column chart with distinctcount aggregation:
The pbix is attached
The most efficient approach is to learn about Star Schema, work with a calendar table, and master DAX.
I've attached links to high-quality learning materials, as it's impossible to summarize the essence of working with the tool in a few sentences within a forum discussion.

Hi,
From what i read, the creation date is of no use. So create a Calendar Table with calculated column formulas for Year, Month name and Month number. Sort the Month name column by the Month number. Create a relationship (Many to One and Single) from the resolution date to the date column of the calendar table. To any vsual, drag Year and Month name from the Calendar table.

Wonderfull response and also the project you sent, it's so helpful! I will take the time to look at the tutorials, thank you ❤️
Would it perhaps be possible to calculate the average of the count for the first two people?
And instead of havig the original column name, replace it in 'department average' label?
Thanks in advance!- blabla702Frequent Visitor
Hi again, I would like to add a column that calculates the average closed issue IDs, for all employees.
My question would be if it is possible if it can be done at the BI level instead of Exel..?
