Current Flow / Inflow / Outflow

[Anonymous]

Hello Everyone, 

I would need your support for the calculations of the below metrics.

For every week (Monday to Sunday - column WeekNb), I need to determine:

- Current Flow: the number of records of the first day of the week - Monday; 

- Inflow: the number of new records that appeared during that week, starting Tuesday. We can have cases when a record was present the other day for the first time, dissapears today and appears again tomorrow. In this case, the Inflow for that record is 2. 

- Outflow: the number of records that dissapeared during that week. For this, we need to compare every record, day by day, next Monday included, to see if they are still present. We can have cases when a record dissapeared the other day, appears today and dissapears tomorrow. In this case, the Outflow for that record should be 2. 

Many thanks for your support!

Hi @ImkeF , 

I am sorry, but I do not have the option to attach the excel file. 

For the Week no. 7, results for the below sample are:

CurrentFlow = 2
Inflow = 5
Outflow = 3

WeekNb	Record	Day of the week	Mentions	Mentions
7	1001859	Monday	CurrentFlow
7	1001522	Monday	CurrentFlow
7	1001859	Tuesday	No Inflow/No Outflow
7	1001522	Tuesday	No Inflow/No Outflow
7	1001859	Wednesday	No Inflow/No Outflow
7	1001522	Wednesday	No Inflow/No Outflow
7	1132222	Wednesday	Inflow (new record in that week,since yesterday)
7	1001859	Thursday	Inflow (new record in that week,since yesterday)	Outflow -one record missing - 1001522
7	1132222	Thursday	No Inflow/No Outflow
7	1324433	Thursday	Inflow (new record in that week,since yesterday)

8	1132222	Monday	No Inflow/No Outflow	Outflow -one record missing - 1333224
8	1324433	Monday	No Inflow/No Outflow	Outflow -one record missing - 1001859
8	1423224	Monday	No Inflow/No Outflow. Even if it is a new record, due to the fact it is in the next week, we don't taking into consideration for the Outflow

Hi

I had trouble reconciling your requests with the sample data provided. Please check these discrepancies:

If you agree that these 2 "Inflows" aren't correct, given the current data, then the attached file should contain what you need.
