Measure that check if the user ID is available in previous month or not

[Anonymous]

Hello, I have managed to create a monthly Database that contains employee ID

I want a measure that check if this employee ID is available in the pervious month, If its not available then the Employee is New.

Same thing goes to Leavers, I want it to check the next month to check if the employee left or not

Hi @Anonymous ,

Not sure what your data table looks like, I created a table like this for testing.

Then please create a measure.

Measure = 
VAR _pervious_month = MONTH(TODAY())-1
VAR _current_month = MONTH(TODAY())
VAR _employee_1 = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[ID]),FILTER('Table','Table'[Month]=_pervious_month))
VAR _employee_2 = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[ID]),FILTER('Table','Table'[Month]=_current_month))
RETURN
SWITCH(
    TRUE(),
    _employee_1=_employee_2&&_employee_1<>BLANK(),"in-service",
    _employee_1<_employee_2,"New",
    _employee_1>_employee_2,"Leavers"
)

If this doesn't work for you or I misunderstand your needs, please consider sharing more details about it. And it would be great if there was a sample file without any sensitive information here.
