Count rows where date column is 1st day of next month

[georgec96]

Hi all, im trying to create a measure that would count all rows where the column date is 1st day of next month however im getting an error when using the CALCULATE function.

"A function "CALCULATE" has been used in a true or false expression that is used as a table filter expression. This is not allowed."

 

Thank you in advance

Hi @georgec96 

please try

DK orders Left =
VAR NextMonth =
    EOMONTH ( ebs_lcl_open_lines[order_due_date], 0 ) + 1
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        COUNT ( ebs_lcl_open_orders[oracle_order_number] ),
        ebs_lcl_open_orders[due_date] = NextMonth
    )

Hi @tamerj1 

Can I write this as a measure?

It won't let me reference the datecolumn when i try.

@georgec96 
Yes you can

DK orders Left =
VAR NextMonth =
    EOMONTH ( MAX ( ebs_lcl_open_lines[order_due_date] ), 0 ) + 1
RETURN
    CALCULATE (
        COUNT ( ebs_lcl_open_orders[oracle_order_number] ),
        ebs_lcl_open_orders[due_date] = NextMonth
    )

Hi @tamerj1 , thanks for your reply

However my measure is returning a blank value

@georgec96 

Yes as there is no data for next month. You need to slice by or select date

@tamerj1 

column due_date containts the date 1st of july 2022 which is what I want to count.

I was hoping that the measure will return a count of all those rows where the due_date is 1st of july 2022

Ok then let's return nextmonth 

DK orders Left =
VAR NextMonth =
    EOMONTH ( MAX ( ebs_lcl_open_lines[order_due_date] ), 0 ) + 1
VAR Result =
    CALCULATE (
        COUNT ( ebs_lcl_open_orders[oracle_order_number] ),
        ebs_lcl_open_orders[due_date] = NextMonth
    )
RETURN
    NextMonth

@georgec96 
How does your data look like?

@Hi @georgec96 

what code did you use?

@tamerj1

Hi @tamerj1  I have used the following formula 

DK orders Left = CALCULATE(COUNT(ebs_lcl_open_orders[oracle_order_number]),ebs_lcl_open_orders[due_date]=NEXTMONTH(ebs_lcl_open_lines[order_due_date]))
