I will need your help with the problem I am facing regarding DAX:
We have a table that shows the when a new batch of cases will be generated and how many cases are expected:
idx batch_date new_cases
1 5/1/2020 1504
2 5/3/2020 2005
3 5/13/2020 921
4 5/26/2020 770
we also know that on average, every day 95 cases will be worked and closed, and the assumption is that newer batch will not be worked until the previous one is completed; we also have calculations showing when batch reaches aging of 10 and 15.
idx batch_date new_cases production days batch_start batch end day_10 day_15
1 5/1/2020 1504 95 16 5/1/2020 5/17/2020 5/11/2020 5/16/2020
2 5/3/2020 2005 95 22 5/18/2020 6/9/2020 5/13/2020 5/18/2020
3 5/13/2020 921 95 10 6/10/2020 6/20/2020 5/23/2020 5/28/2020
4 5/26/2020 770 95 9 6/21/2020 6/30/2020 6/5/2020 6/10/2020
in regular Excel I would use these formulas:
days: =ROUNDUP([@[new_cases]]/[@production]],0)
batch_start: =if(*batch_end previous row* >=[@[batch_date]], *batch_end previous row*+1,[@[batch_date]])
batch_end: =[@[batch_start]]+[@[days]]
day_10: = [@[batch_date]]+10
day_15: = [@[batch_date]]+15
first problem: when I try to write a DAX calculated column for batch_start,
batch_start:= IF(LOOKUPVALUE(
forecast[batch_end], forecast[idx], forecast[idx] -1) >= forecast[batch_date],
forecast[batch_end], forecast[idx], forecast[idx] -1) +1,
forecast[batch_date])
I obviously get a circular dependency error. Any idea how to resolve that?
The other problem is that the ultimate goal of this exercise is to count how many cases we have in each aging bucket (<=10, 11-15, >15) on every day. I.e., on 5/2 I have 1409 open cases from 5/1 batch (1504 - 95 already processed), all in <=10 bucket; on 5/28 I have 770 in <=10 bucket, 921 in 11-15 bucket and 1055 in >15 bucket etc. Any idea how to write a measure that would show that? I put on DropBox a xlsx file where I manually counted the expected outcome (https://www.dropbox.com/s/pgfgdtcxqilxfnm/forecast.xlsx?dl=0). The reason I need this in DAX is that previous steps of the entire project are done using PowerQuery, PowerPivot and DAX, and this will be the very last puzzle of the project.
batch: expected outcome:
5/1 5/3 5/13 5/26 all open cases <=10 11-15 >15
