help with filter statement in DAX

[vanessafvg]

i need to calculate a moving average over time, i need to get the no of employees at a point in time. 

i have a start date and i have an employee end date, how do i calculate the moving average over time, taking into consideration i am plotting on 2 different dates for the above?

currently i have this but it doesn't seem to work

No of Current Employees = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('Employees All Time'[Employee No.]),
FILTER('Employees All Time',
min('Date'[Date]) >= 'Employees All Time'[Start Date]
&& MAX('Date'[Date]) < 'Employees All Time'[Leaving Date] )
)

this should give me a total at a day level.   

however i am also stuck as to how to calculate the average.

it doesn't return anything which is quite frustrasting help please 🙂

Hi @vanessafvg,

Could you try the formula below to see if it works in your scenario? 

No of Current Employees =
VAR currentDate =
    MAX ( 'Date'[Date] )
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Employees All Time'[Employee No.] ),
        FILTER (
            ALL ( 'Employees All Time' ),
            'Employees All Time'[Start Date] <= currentDate
                && 'Employees All Time'[Leaving Date] > currentDate
        )
    )

Hi @vanessafvg,

Have you tried the solution? Does it work in your scenario? If it works, could you accept it as solution to close this thread?
