show status from previous month

[Anonymous]

Dear All,

I would like to ask for your help on the below topic. 

What I am trying to see is how many people came back from maternity and under which status per month.

Date	Name	Status
31/07/2020	Goerge Michael	Maternity/Paternity
31/08/2020	Goerge Michael	Active
31/07/2020	Shakira	Maternity/Paternity
31/08/2020	Shakira	Unpaid Leave

so at the end of the day i want to see that I have 1 active and 1 updaid leave. Think also that the list is big and there are people who are always active or contuining maternity.

thank you,

Paris

Hi  @ppatris ,

Here is another method, the measure is modified:

1. Create a calendar Table, Measure.

Table：
Date = CALENDARAUTO()


Measure：
Count1 =
var _count= CALCULATE (
    DISTINCTCOUNT( 'Table'[Name]) ,
    FILTER (
        ALLSELECTED('Table'),         YEAR('Table'[Date])=YEAR(MAX('Table'[Date])&&MONTH('Table'[Date])=MONTH(MAX('Table'[Date]))
    )
    ))

return _count

If I misunderstood your logic, you can express your logic more clearly.

Hi  @ppatris ,

Here are the steps you can follow to achieve：

1.Create a calendar Table, Column, Measure.

Table：
Date = CALENDARAUTO()

Column：
Status End date =
var_nextsdate=CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[Date]),FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[Name]=EARLIER('Table'[Name])&&'Table'[Date]>EARLIER('Table'[Date])&&'Table'[Status]<>EARLIER('Table'[Status])))
return _nextsdate

Measure：
Count =
var _count= CALCULATE (
    DISTINCTCOUNT( 'Table'[Name]) ,
    FILTER (
        'Table',
        (
           'Table'[Date] <= MIN( 'Date'[Date] )
                &&if(ISBLANK('Table'[Status End date]),CALCULATE(MAX('Date'[Date]),ALL('Date'[Date])),'Table'[Status End date]) > MAX ( 'Date'[Date]  )        
       )
    ),
    VALUES ('Table'[Name]))

return _count

2. Create a line chart.

3. Result.

Hi @Anonymous ,

As your data is not sufficient to create a sensible line chart, try as below:

• Select a LIne chart visual and move your column fields as shown in the screenshot below:
• 

See if this helps.

Thanks,

@Anonymous , Try with time intelligence and date table

last MTD Sales = CALCULATE(MAx(Table[Status]),DATESMTD(dateadd('Date'[Date],-1,MONTH)))

To get the best of the time intelligence function. Make sure you have a date calendar and it has been marked as the date in model view. Also, join it with the date column of your fact/s. Refer :
