active employee count per month

Hi,

 

i have a table with columns as "project", "name", "start date" and "end date".

1. i wanted to count the number of employees who has joined the project and also who has left the project per month.

Exmaple: if 10 employees joined the project in jan and 8 in Feb and 12 in march, and 3 left the project in jan, 4 in feb, and 5 in March. i want the result to be shown as, number of employes in jan= 10-3=7, Feb= 7(from jan)+8-4=11, march= 11(from Feb)+12-5=18.

 

for this i have calculated cumulative count of employees who has joined the project:

startcount= CALCULATE(COUNTROWS('table'),FILTER(ALLSELECTED('table'),'table'[Start date]<=MAX('table'[Start date])))
 
and calculated number of employees who has left:
Endcount = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS('table'),USERELATIONSHIP('table'[End Date'],'Date'[Date]))
 
My Problem is, im unable to add the Jan output i.e 7 to the Feb month. Please help here with DAX

Hi @Anonymous

 

Based on my test, i've added index column in query editor for date table. Below are measures for your reference.

Startcount = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS('Sample'))
Endcount = CALCULATE(COUNTROWS('Sample'),USERELATIONSHIP('Sample'[End Date],'Date'[Date]))
Leftcount = [Startcount]-[Endcount]
Final =
VAR a =
    SUMMARIZE (
        FILTER ( ALL ( 'Date' ), 'Date'[Index] <= MAX ( 'Date'[Index] ) ),
        'Date'[Index],
        'Date'[Month],
        "b", [Leftcount]
    )
RETURN
    SUMX ( a, [Leftcount] )

Hi @Anonymous

 

please follow these steps:

 

After you have loaded your table ( named Data ) into Power BI, create a new table ( named DataModified) with the following DAX Query:

 

DataModified = 
SELECTCOLUMNS(
    GENERATE(
        Data,
        VAR StartDate = Data[Start Date]
        VAR EndDate = Data[End Date]
        RETURN
        CALENDAR( StartDate, EndDate - 1 )
    ),
    "Project", Data[project],
    "Name", Data[Name],
    "Date", [Date]
)

Afterwards create the calendar, projects and names dimensions:

 

Names = ALLNOBLANKROW( DataModified[Name] )
 
Projects = ALLNOBLANKROW( DataModified[Project] )
 
Calendar = 
ADDCOLUMNS(
    CALENDAR( DATE( 2017, 1, 1 ), DATE( 2019, 12, 31 ) ),
    "Month", MONTH( [Date] ),
    "Month Name", FORMAT( [Date], "MMMM" ),
    "Year", YEAR( [Date] ),
    "Month Year Name", FORMAT( [Date], "mmm yyyy" ),
    "Month Year Number", YEAR( [Date] ) * 100 + MONTH( [Date] )
)
Then create the relationships:
 
2018-11-26_9-15-14.jpg
 
 
Then add a mtrix visual, drop the column 'Month year Name' from the Calendar table into the rows section and this measure into the values sections:
 
 
Active Employees = 
CALCULATE(
    COUNTROWS( DataModified ),
    LASTDATE( 'Calendar'[Date] )
)
2018-11-26_9-17-06.jpg

This worked for me like a charm. But I had to remove the -1 as it gave error that end date cannot before start date.  

 CALENDAR( StartDate, EndDate - 1 ) 

 Plus I really want to know how this works, to grow my understanding about dax.

@v-cherch-msft Im not getting the same results as you, could you please share the pbix file.

Hi @Anonymous

 

Please follow these steps:

 

Once you have loaded your table (named Data) into Power BI, generate a new table (named DataModified) using the following DAX Query:

 

 

DataModified = 
SELECTCOLUMNS(
    GENERATE(
        Data,
        VAR StartDate = Data[Start Date]
        VAR EndDate = Data[End Date]
        RETURN
        CALENDAR( StartDate, EndDate - 1 )
    ),
    "Project", Data[project],
    "Name", Data[Name],
    "Date", [Date]
)

 

Afterwards, create a Date dimension, Project dimension and Names dimension tables:

 

Names = ALLNOBLANKROW( DataModified[Name] )
 
Projects = ALLNOBLANKROW( DataModified[Project] )
 
Calendar = 
ADDCOLUMNS(
    CALENDAR( DATE( 2017, 1, 1 ), DATE( 2019, 12, 31 ) ),
    "Month", MONTH( [Date] ),
    "Month Name", FORMAT( [Date], "MMMM" ),
    "Year", YEAR( [Date] ),
    "Month Year Name", FORMAT( [Date], "mmm yyyy" ),
    "Month Year Number", YEAR( [Date] ) * 100 + MONTH( [Date] )
)
Then, link them via relationships:
 
2018-11-26_9-15-14.jpg
 
 
 
 Then add this measure:
 
Active Employees = 
CALCULATE(
    COUNTROWS( DataModified ),
    LASTDATE( 'Calendar'[Date] )
)
 
Create a new matrix visual, drop the 'Month Year Name' column from the calendar table on the rows section and the measure on the values section:
 
2018-11-26_9-17-06.jpg

Sounds like you need a running total, there is a Quick Measure that you can use as a basis for that. Also, take a look at these two Quick Measures as I think you want something like them.
