Stairway to DAX and Power BI - Level 9: Function / Iterator Function Pairs: The DAX MAX() and MAXX() Functions

  • Hello Bill,

    please could you help me with this one:

    I want to find the NEW customers LAST YEAR, I mean I want to find the

    number of NEW customers that bought in the same period last year.

    I know how to calculate the number of total customers last year:

    CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT([ClientID]),SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR(DimCalendar[PK_Date]),all(DimCalendar))

    also the number of new customers ever:

    CALCULATE(

    COUNTROWS(DimCustormer),

    FILTER(

    DimCustormer,

    CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(SalesFact ))>0 &&

    CALCULATE(

    COUNTROWS(SalesFact ),

    FILTER(

    ALL(DimCalendar),

    DimCalendar[PK_Date]<MIN(DimCalendar[PK_Date])

    )

    )=0

    )

    )

    but I really want to also have the NEW Custormers LAST YEAR

    Thank you so much!

    I'm struggling for a week already 🙁

  • The article´s title is wrong.
    Its not Power BI but PowerPivot you are using.

    Don't you want to get the FIRSTDATE for each customer's sale (across all years). Then you know when they were new.
