Hi everybody, I would appreciate your help in solving the following problem: A doctor knows when patients were registered and when they were examined. He wants to understand the historical length of the resulting waiting list.
Datatable looks like this:
Examination Number - Date of registration - Date of Examination
I have a line chart in which I would like to show the historical length of the waiting list at the end of a specific week. The x axis is using calendar weeks from a date table. Length of the waiting list means the number of rows where the date of registration was before the end of a specific calendar week AND the date of examination is after the end of a specific calendar week. I would ideally do this using a measure (I made an attempt using a dedicated table which was counting the entries for each date with the conditions above, however, it didn't work out for performance reasons, and I had problems filtering it).
Any guidance would be highly appreciated.
Best,
Christian
@CPL_HK ,Can you share sample data and sample output in table format?
See if this blog can help
I attached an excel file with the desired calculations.
Step 1 would be to just calculate the waiting list on a daily basis. Step two to generate a table/chart on a weekly basis. I seperated the steps to make it clearer.
I already made an attempt using a dedicated date table where I did the same calculation as in the Excel file using calculate/filter, however it proved to be slow and not very elegant, so I would like to use a measure to do this calculation....
