Filter DIM based on Slicer Values

Hey,

 

I have 3 Tables in my model, which are DimUsers, DimDate and FactSales. A slicer is showing month names from DimDate.

I want to find out users that are created in selected month from slicer. Normally if cross direction relationship is active the count of user_ids will show users in FactSales in the selected month but I need all users even if they have not bought any items.

I need Users that have been signed up in the selected month from slicer. the DimUsers contains a column (created_at) showing the users's creation date.

 

Here is the DAX I wrote but its not working

 

Sign Up = CALCULATE([User Counts], FILTER('DimUsers', 'DimUsers'[created_at_DimDateKey] in RELATEDTABLE(DimDate)))

 

Any Ideas ?

@Pinoo39 , Create an inactive relation between date and created_at and try useuserelation. You might have to use crossfilter(none) for fact

Sign Up = CALCULATE([User Counts], userelation(DimDate[Date], 'DimUsers'[created_at]))

refer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6Y-l_JtCq4

 

Another way is

Sign Up = CALCULATE([User Counts],filter(DimUsers , DimUsers[created_at] in values(DimDate[Date])))

or

Sign Up = CALCULATE([User Counts],filter(DimUsers , DimUsers[created_at] in allselected(DimDate[Date])))

Hi @Pinoo39 

Try this

 

Sign Up =
CALCULATE (
    DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'DimUsers'[User_ID] ),
    'DimUsers'[created_at_DimDateKey] IN DISTINCT( DimDate[Date] )
)

@Pinoo39 , you may try this

Sign Up = CALCULATE([User Counts], CALCULATETABLE(FactSales))

 


Thanks to the great efforts by MS engineers to simplify syntax of DAX! Most beginners are SUCCESSFULLY MISLED to think that they could easily master DAX; but it turns out that the intricacy of the most frequently used RANKX() is still way beyond their comprehension!

DAX is simple, but NOT EASY!
