I need to create a measure that calculates daily goals over time based on the number of active employess. I have an inactive relationship between 'Employees'[StartDate] and 'Date'[Date]. I have tried using the following:
Daily_Goal =
VAR EmpCount = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS('Employees'),
'Employees'[StartDate]<='Date'[Date],
USERELATIONSHIP( 'Employees'[StartDate], 'Date'[Date]))
RETURN
20 * EmpCount
But I receive an error that "the expression contains multiple columns, but only a single column can be used in a True/False expression that is used as a table filter expression."
Is there a way to calculate this goal using an inactive relationship? I am unable to make this relationship active as I have a different table with an active relationship that links between the 'Date' table and the 'Employees' table.
Solved! Go to Solution.
@Anonymous seems like I'm missing something here. seems like you are looking running total
Daily_Goal = VAR EmpCount = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS('Employees'), USERELATIONSHIP( 'Employees'[StartDate], 'Date'[Date])) FILTER( ALL(Date ), Date[Date] <= MAX( Date[Date] ), RETURN 20 * EmpCount

@Anonymous hmm not full sure but try following:
Daily_Goal = VAR EmpCount = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS('Employees'), FILTER( Employees, 'Employees'[StartDate]<='Date'[Date] ), USERELATIONSHIP( 'Employees'[StartDate], 'Date'[Date])) RETURN 20 * EmpCount

@parry2k thank you but unfortunately this solution gives an error message that "A single value for column 'Date' in table 'Date' cannot be determined. This can happen when a measure formula refers to a column that contains many values without specifying an aggregation such as min, max, count, or sum to get a single result."
@Anonymous sorry, change Date[Date] to MAX( Date[Date] )

Adding MAX does get rid of the error but only calculates for the dates linked between the two tables
For example, the following in the Employee Table
Employee StartDate
Employee1 1/2/2019
Employee2 1/2/2019
Employee3 1/5/2019
The measure returns the following if I drop it in a table with continuous dates
Date Daily_Goal
1/2/2019 40
1/3/2019 NULL
1/4/2019 NULL
1/5/2019 20
The output I am looking for is
Date Daily_Goal
1/2/2019 40
1/3/2019 40
1/4/2019 40
1/5/2019 60
