Hi,
I just recently downloaded the desktop version and am currently "playing around" and trying things out, but have run into a problem.
I have a long list of members of a user group where every member, among other dimensions, has a startdate and an enddate, for instance:
Name Validtodatetime Validfromdatetime
Lars Sorensen 03-05-2016 03-02-2015
I would like to count all the members active on 30-12-2015, 30-01-2016, 30-02-2016 and so on. I created a new coloumn and added the following formula to evaluate whether the member was active on the 30th of december 2015 (I would create a new colum to evaluate the other months):
December = IF(AND(HRPPARTYPOSITIONTABLERELAT2226[VALIDFROMDATETIME]<=30-12-2015;HRPPARTYPOSITIONTABLERELAT2226[VALIDTODATETIME]>30-12-2015);1;0)
The formula should return a 1 for active members and a 0 for non active members which should be easy to aggregate. So far I have handled the data in Excel in the same way and with the same formula and it works just fine. However the formula in Power BI always returns 0.
Is there something wrong with my formula (well, obviously there is but Power Bi doesn't return any errors) or am I simply approaching the whole thing in the wrong way ?
If so, can anyone give me a hint as to how I should handle this ?
Best regards
Martin
