Examples

Example 1

The following example calculates the maximum time in days for unresolved issues from the last status change till today.
The formula pulls in a set of unresolved issues only and for this set, it will look for unresolved relevant to report selections and will calculate days for those issues from status updated date till now.

Max(
  Filter(
    Descendants([Issue].CurrentMember, [Issue].[Issue]),
    -- for unresolved issues only
    IsEmpty([Measures].[Issue resolution date])
    AND
    -- show on time for issue creation date
    DateInPeriod(
      [Measures].[Issue created date],
      [Time].CurrentHierarchyMember
    )
  ),
  -- calculate days in current status for each relevant issue
  CASE WHEN
    -- check if issue is relevant for the report
    [Measures].[Issues created] > 0
  THEN
    -- calculated days in status
    DateDiffDays([Measures].[Issue status updated date], Now())
  END
)

Example 2

The following example finds the maximum amount of resolved issues in the last 52 weeks.

Max(
  {[Time.Weekly].[Week].CurrentDateMember.Lag(52): 
   [Time.Weekly].[Week].CurrentDateMember.PrevMember},
  CoalesceEmpty(
    ([Measures].[Issues resolved],[Time].DefaultMember),
    0
  )
)
