Direct Query - Open Transactions at a point in time (historic view)

[johnbradbury]

I'm querying a DB directly to show the current number of live transactions and the number of closed transactions for a given period.

Thinking more about historical view points how do I pinpoint the number of open transactions at a given point in time, for example if I wanted to show the number of open transactions at the end of each week (ie WK1, WK2, WK3) across an 8 week period?

I still don't seem to be able to get anything to work on this. All suggestions and comments are welcome.

You can use relative filtering on date column, put date as a slicer or in one of the filter and choose relative filtering, select last, 8, and weeks (calendar), it will always give last 8 weeks.

That's not going to work.

Tickets in our system have a status flag to show whether or not they are open (1) or closed (0). If I filter based on date that only shows when they were created, if I add the flag to show whether or not it's open, it only shows if it's open or closed now, not at the poit in time (ie WK1, WK2).

Hi @johnbradbury,

You can add calculated column to store week number, then drag week number to column field of matrix visual. Then, your record will summary and group by week number.
