Hello,
I've created a measure for comparing sales order IDs from the latest two dates (today and yesterday) in my data set. I'm comparing the two dates to see which sales orders were new, removed or carried over day to day (latest two dates). This works as a measure but I need to convert it into a column but I am unable to.
Any help on convertting this into a column is appreciated!
Measure code:
*The RUN_DATE column is the two dates that I'm comparing (today and yesterday).
Solved! Go to Solution.
Same = COUNTROWS(INTERSECT('TODAY',YESTERDAY))
Removed = countrows(except(YESTERDAY,'TODAY'))
Added = COUNTROWS(EXCEPT('TODAY',YESTERDAY))
Hi @en_90 ,
You can try indexing logic with custom column -
SO_CAT =
VAR __TodaySO =
COUNTROWS(
FILTER(
'TableTop2',
[RUN_DATE] = TODAY()
)
)
VAR __TotalSO =
COUNTROWS(
SUMMARIZE(
'TableTop2',
'TableTop2'[RUN_DATE]
)
)
VAR __IndexSO =
RANKX(
'TableTop2',
'TableTop2'[RUN_DATE],
, ASC,
DENSE
)
RETURN
SWITCH(TRUE(),
__TodaySO >= 1 && __IndexSO = 1, "NEW",
__TodaySO >= 1 && __IndexSO > 1, "EXI
STING",
"REMOVED"
I hope it will be helpful.
Thanks,

Thank you, Sai Teja. I tried your code but it did not produce the expected results.
Here's a link to sample data.
Yesterday's data run had 2885 records. Today's run had 2969. The expected results are as follows:
Any particular reason for not using EXCEPT and INTERSECT, the functions designed for this?
I am relatively new to DAX so I didn't even know those functions exist until now.
