conditional column wrt dates

Problem Statement:

        There are 5 columns involved, which are 'Order ID', 'Order Status', 'Desired Part Delivery Date', 'In Shipping Date', 'Order Completed Date'.

 

        I need to create a new column/measure which contains the count of 'Order ID' based on the following two conditions:

if ('In Shipping Date') IS_BLANK then check if 'Desired Part Delivery Date' >= 'Order Completed Date' and if this is true then display the count of 'Order ID'.

if ('In Shipping Date') IS_NOT_BLANK then check if 'Desired Part Delivery Date' >= 'In Shipping Date' and if this is true then display the count of 'Order ID'.

 

        Also the 'Order ID' count should be filtered based on 'Order Status'="Completed" or 'Order Status'="Shipping"

 

Please help me solve this issue asap.

Hi @Anonymous 

 

You can first add a new column to flag whether an order ID meets both conditions you mentioned. Then create a measure to calcualte the count. 

 

Create a new column as below. It returns 1 when the condition is true.

Then create a measure to count Order IDs whose Flag value is 1. 

Number Of IDs = CALCULATE(COUNT('Table'[Order ID]), 'Table'[Flag] = 1)

 

If you want to add filters, it could be 

Number Of IDs 2 = CALCULATE(COUNT('Table'[Order ID]), 'Table'[Flag] = 1, 'Table'[Order Status] = "Completed")

or

Number Of IDs 3 = CALCULATE(COUNT('Table'[Order ID]), 'Table'[Flag] = 1, 'Table'[Order Status] IN {"Completed", "Shipping"})
