Aging Calculation

  • 1.  Aging Calculation

    Hi,

    I am trying to calculate the ageing for my certain stock.
    In my business scenario, there is a daily report to show what are the stocks need to take actions, and the requirement is to track the ageing for that stock.
    For example, on the 7/17, I have one stock A, so I clear it and it will not show in the 7/19 report, so the age of stock A will be 1. While, on 7/19, I have another new stock B need to be cleared, but I forgot to take action, and it shows on 7/22 report, so the age is 2 days. The sample data shows in the screenshot, and I have manually created the expected results "Age" column.

    Anyone can advise how can I get the expected results?
    Thanks.

    Hi @Jake Zhang,

    If your table is called 'Table1' then you can write a measure to calculate Age:

    Age = 
CALCULATE(
    COUNTROWS( Table1 ),
    FILTER( 
        ALL(Table1[Date]),
        Table1[Date] <= MAX( Table1[Date] )
    )
)
    ​
    This measure works in a table visual but if you need to add it as a column for whatever reason then you need something slightly different:

    Age Column = 
VAR myPart = [Part]
VAR myDate = [Date]
RETURN
CALCULATE(
    COUNTROWS( Table1 ),
    FILTER( 
        ALL( Table 1 ),
        Table1[Part] = myPart 
        &&
        Table1[Date] <= myDate
    )
)​

    Hope that helps.

    Hi @Simon Lamb

    Thank you so much! I'm too bad at DAX :(
    I am using your 2nd calculated column method since I need to visualize in a bar chart, and it works perfectly.

    Hi @Simon Lamb,

    Sorry to trouble you again.
    I've already used your option 2 for a while but found out I missed out one scenario here and appreciate if you could help.

    The picture is showing the expected results of ageing. The one I've missed out is the last row.

    I have the stock ABC from 1st July to 3rd July, so I've cleared this stock on 4th July means no stock for this part. However, on the 5th July, it comes out again, so the ageing need to restart from 1.

    How can I achieve this by using DAX? It will be best if just need to add in some code on the top of your option 2.
    Thank you in advance!

    Hey Zhang,

    I needed to do this in two calculated columns.

    NewAgingIndicator =
    VAR _thisPart = [Part]
    VAR _thisDate = [Date]
    VAR _PART =
        FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[Part] = _thisPart && 'Table'[Date] = _thisDate - 1 )
    VAR _newInd =
        IF ( ISBLANK ( COUNTROWS ( _PART ) ), 1, 0 )
    RETURN
        _newInd

    Aging =
    VAR _thisPart = [Part]
    VAR _thisDate = [Date]
    VAR _maxDate =
        CALCULATE (
            MAX ( 'Table'[Date] ),
            'Table'[Part] = _thisPart,
            'Table'[Date] < _thisDate,
            'Table'[NewAgingIndicator] = 1
        )
    VAR _rows =
        FILTER (
            'Table',
            'Table'[Part] = _thisPart
                && 'Table'[Date] <= _thisDate
                && 'Table'[Date] >= _maxDate
        )
    RETURN
        IF ( 'Table'[NewAgingIndicator] = 1, 1, COUNTROWS ( _rows ) )

    Thanks @Jarid McKenzie, that's impressive!
    However, I do have another question, what if my table doesn't consider Saturday and Sunday, how can I calculate the ageing?​
    I guess the logic is something like the below (just to demo the logic and expectation), but for sure "Filter" and "If" cannot put together:
    NewAgingIndicator =
    VAR _thisPart = [Part]
    VAR _thisDate = [Date]
    VAR _PART =
        FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[Part] = _thisPart && 

                 if(Weekday('Table'[Date])=Monday),'Table'[Date] = _thisDate - 3,

                            'Table'[Date] = _thisDate - 1 ))
    VAR _newInd =
        IF ( ISBLANK ( COUNTROWS ( _PART ) ), 1, 0 )
    RETURN
        _newInd
