Examples
Example 1
The following example will return the difference between created and resolved issues. If the result is 0, it is replaced by a blank. Blank rows can be hidden using the "Hide empty" button from the eazyBI toolbar.
NonZero( [Measures].[Issues created] - [Measures].[Issues resolved] )
Example 2
The following example returns the maximum number of days between the issue resolution date and the last date the status was updated. In case there is another status to complete the issue, both dates won't match. If the dates matcha and the DateDiffDays() function returns the result 0, it is replaced by a blank. Blank cells make the cleaner look and can be hidden using the "Hide empty" button from the eazyBI toolbar.
NonZero(
Max(
Filter(
Descendants([Issue].CurrentMember, [Issue].[Issue]),
-- for unresolved issues only
NOT 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 resolved] > 0
THEN
-- calculated days in status
DateDiffDays(
[Measures].[Issue resolution date],
[Measures].[Issue status updated date]
)
END
))
