Customer Table

Customer Measures

No. of Customers

Formula

Distinct count of the Customer No. column from the Sales table.

Data Sources

  • Value Entries
  • Sales Invoice Line
  • Sales Credit Line

No. of Lost Customers

Formula

This measure calculates the number of customers who were lost, meaning customers who stopped purchasing, within the current date selection. It determines the latest date in the selection, prepares a table of customers and the dates they were "lost," and then filters out the customers whose lost date is within the selected date range. Finally, it counts the rows in this filtered table to get the number of lost customers.

Data Sources

  • Value Entries
  • Sales Invoice Line
  • Sales Credit Line

No. of New Customers

Formula

This measure counts new customers by finding the date of their first purchase. It includes customers if their first purchase happened within the date selection.

Data Sources

  • Value Entries
  • Sales Invoice Line
  • Sales Credit Line

No. of Recovered Customers

Formula

This measure calculates the number of customers who were temporarily lost, that is, customers who stopped purchasing but later made a new purchase. It identifies customers who had a "lost" date before the selected date range, then determines which customers made a new purchase within the current period. The measure filters and counts only those customers whose new purchase occurred after their lost date, returning the total number of recovered customers.

Data Sources

  • Value Entries
  • Sales Invoice Line
  • Sales Credit Line

No. of Returning Customers

Formula

This measure calculates the number of customers who made a repeat purchase during the current period. It identifies existing customers by filtering customers whose first purchase was before the selected date range, then determines which of these customers made another purchase within the current period. The measure returns the count of these returning customers.

Sales Amount Period-over-Period Growth

Sales Amount PP (Fiscal)

Formula

This measure determines the appropriate sales amount based on the current context of the date hierarchy in the fiscal calendar. It uses the SWITCH function to evaluate whether the context is at the fiscal month, fiscal quarter, or fiscal year level. Depending on which level is active, it returns the corresponding sales amount, which is either:

  • Previous month (Sales Amount PM (Fiscal))
  • Previous quarter (Sales Amount PQ (Fiscal))
  • Previous year (Sales Amount PY (Fiscal))

Sales Amount POP (Fiscal)

Formula

This measure calculates the change in sales between the current period and the previous period based on the context of the fiscal calendar. It uses the SWITCH function to determine the appropriate previous period calculation depending on whether the current context is at the fiscal month, quarter, or year level. When at the fiscal month level, it references the month-over-month change from the Sales Amount MOM (Fiscal) measure, which computes the difference between the current month's sales and the previous month's sales. Similarly, for fiscal quarters and years, it uses quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year calculations, respectively.

Sales Amount POP % (Fiscal)

Formula

This measure calculates the percentage growth in sales between the current and previous period based on the context of the fiscal calendar. It uses the SWITCH function to determine the appropriate previous period calculation depending on whether the current context is at the fiscal month, quarter, or year level. When at the fiscal month level, it references the month-over-month change from the Sales Amount MOM % (Fiscal) measure, which determines the percentage growth between the current month's sales and the previous month's sales. Similarly, for fiscal quarters and years, it uses quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year calculations, respectively.
