Hello! I have a dataset that includes employee tenure in decimal years. I'd like create a line graph that shows the retention rate where the X axis is years and the Y axiz is percent retention. Essentially, it looks at:
count of employees with a tenure value >= value at X axis / total count of records.
Values for this graph might be:
95% retention at 1 year
93% retention at 1.5 years
20% retention at 12.5 years, etc.
I imagine it will look something like this (with one line):
Since I couldn't figure out how to attach data, here's a small dummy version of the dataset:
| Employee | Tenure |
| 2180 | 0.9 |
| 2589 | 1.81 |
| 2489 | 1.9 |
| 2233 | 1.97 |
| 2323 | 2.15 |
| 2061 | 2.57 |
| 2463 | 4.92 |
| 2964 | 7.95 |
| 2481 | 9.07 |
| 2682 | 11.68 |
| 2894 | 12.92 |
| 2947 | 13.01 |
| 2919 | 14.4 |
| 2912 | 14.45 |
| 2792 | 31.79 |
| 2805 | 37.1 |
| 2782 | 37.51 |
First add a column to create year for each employee based on tenure:
Year = var x = FLOOR(Table1[Tenure],1) return if(x>12,12,x)
add measure for total employee count
Total Emp = CALCULATE(COUNT(Table1[Employee]), ALL(Table1))
add measure for running total
Running Total = CALCULATE(COUNT(Table1[Employee]), Filter(ALL(Table1), Table1[Year]>=MAX(Table1[Year])))
add measure for retention %
Retention = DIVIDE([Running Total], [Total Emp], 0)
drop line visual wit year on x axis and retention on values.
Change retention measure format to %
Although these measures can be done in one measure, but I like to keep it seperate for simplicty and also can be reused in other areas as well.
This is all for reference, you can change calc as you see fit.
