Dax - how to find the number of staff leavers in a certain time period

Hi all - I'm trying to work out staff turnover figures, I need to knopw the number of employees who left in a certain time period.

I have the following DAX for a headcount of staff in a period set in a table

 

Current Staff = CALCULATE( COUNTROWS( 'Employees' ),
FILTER( VALUES ( Employees[start_date] ), 'Employees'[start_date] <= MAX('Calendar'[Date] ) ),
FILTER( VALUES( 'Employees'[end_date] ), OR( Employees[end_date] >= MIN('Calendar'[Date] ), ISBLANK( 'Employees'[end_date] ) ) ) )
 
But I need to know how many staff have a leave date in the same period - I have a calendar table with inactive relationships to the data set, but just cant quite figure it out - can anyone help?
 
Thanks!

Hi @Anonymous 

Based on your sample data I created disconnected time table with coulmns like quarter, year etc.

Then I created 3 measures:

 

ACTIVE =
CALCULATE( DISTINCTCOUNT( Employees[Employee] ),
FILTER( VALUES( Employees[Start Date] ), Employees[Start Date] <= MAX( Dates[Date] ) ),
FILTER( VALUES( Employees[End Date] ), OR( Employees[End Date] >= MIN( Dates[Date] ), ISBLANK( Employees[End Date] ) ) ) )
 
This measure counts the number of unique employees in a period you choose from time table.

OUTFLUX = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(Employees[Employee])
,Employees[End Date]>=MIN(Dates[Date])
,Employees[End Date]<=MAX(Dates[Date]))
 
This measure counts the employees whose contracts end in a choosen period.
 
ROTATION % = DIVIDE([OUTFLUX],[ACTIVE],0)
 
This measure counts the rotation ratio.

Here are the results based on your data:

Thank you! By quater I mean Q1 2022 which would be January February March, Q2 2022 is April May June etc

Staff turnover is usuall done:

number of leavers / number of staff expressed as a percentage

ie 12 leavers from 240 staff is 5% turnover

Please provide sanitized sample data that fully covers your issue. If you paste the data into a table in your post or use one of the file services it will be easier to assist you. I cannot use screenshots of your source data.

Please show the expected outcome based on the sample data you provided. Screenshots of the expected outcome are ok.

I'd like a table output that calculates the number of live employees each month, the number of leavers each month and then the difference between the 2 that I can change from monthly to quarterly to yearly

Turnover by Month

Jan-2110066%

Mar-2110188%
Apr-219822%
May-2110444%

Turnover by Year  
 HeadcountLeaversStaff Turnover
20211053533%

Here is the headcount part. Before continuing please confirm what you mean by Quarter, and how you calculate Staff Turnover.
