I need some help figuring out what strategy I should use to accomplish this in Power BI.
I have a list of subscribed customers along with their subscription start and end dates. In Excel I can use a COUNTIF function in a separate date table (seen on right side) to count how many customers were active in any given month. That is, I compare how many customers had a subscription start on/before a given date and also had an end date at some point after that date. That way I can show subscribers per month as shown.
But I want to do this with Power BI instead of a table to the side.
I'm sure I'll need a date dimension table, and there's plenty of guides on that. But what about counts per month? And I'd love to still be able to slice or chart by group (as a legend value in a stacked bar for example).
I've been trying for a while but I'm not getting very far. Any suggestions for a Power BI newbie?
