Aggregate a calculated count for each day over a period

Hi

 

I'm working with a table a bit like this:

 

User Logins

IDTimestamp
121/09/2022 00:00:00
420/09/2022 00:00:00
120/09/2022 00:00:00
......

 

I have chosen to categorize a group of users as "Active Users", as the ones which has been logged in the past 14 days.

 

So, I can retrieve all my "Active Users" by using this Measure:

CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('User Logins'[ID]), 'User Logins'[Timestamp] > TODAY()-14)

 

But - here's my problem. I want to create a graph of "Active Users" for the past 7 days.

 

So I need to somehow replace "TODAY()" with "Whatever X-day is showed on the x-axis on the graph".

 

Just to make it more clear, maybe we have the following results of the count:

Count of unique ID'sDate
1021/09/2022
1520/09/2022
519/09/2022
7

18/...

417/...
716/...

 

Then I would like to get the following result (just displayed in a graph instead):

Count of unique ID's the past 14 daysDate
82 (10+15+5+7+4+7+...)21/09/2022
89 (15+5+7+4+7+...)20/09/2022
75 (5+7+4+7+...)19/09/2022
78 (7+4+7+...)18/09/2022

 

I hope it makes sense and that someone knows the necessary formula! 🙂

For others - I've found my own solution for this.

 

I created a new table with the following settings:

 

Active Users Past 7 Days = FILTER(Dates, Dates[Date] > Today() - 7 && Dates[Date] <= Today())

 

 

 

Where the table "Dates" is a calendar table. So it just gives me a column with the past 7 days.
 
Then I added the following column to the table:
 

Active Users =
VAR Selected = 'Active Users Past 7 Days'[Date]
RETURN
CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('User Logins'[UserId]), 'User Logins'[timestamp] > Selected-14)

 

This results in a table with two columns. One being the past 7 days, another being the sum og distinct user id's for the past 14 days per day.

@Vlad_M_ Maybe:

 

Measure =
  VAR __Date = MAX('Table'[Date]) //whatever is used in the x-axis
  VAR __MinDate = __Date - 14
RETURN
  SUMX(FILTER(ALL('Table'),[Date] >= __MinDate && [Date] <= __Date),[Count of Unique ID's])

Hey Greg

For some reason I couldn't get it to work the way I hoped, but thanks for the input 🙂
