I'm pretty new to PowerPivot and I have been reviewing a lot of material regarding DAX functions. I know that what I would like to do is possible. I'm just struggling with how to implement it. I'm trying to provide a dynamic Annualized Employee Turnover Pivot Table. Ideally I would be able to plug and play and see turnover within different population segments by just using measures and calculated fields.

The calculation method for annualized employee turnover is: (YTD Terminations / Average(Prior Year Headcount, Current Year Headcount)) / Quarter Month End*12

So for example these variables yield Annualized Turnover of 37.1% :

My data looks like this (4 Tables):

The idea would be to take any of the green fields and drop them in the Rows of the Pivot Table and be able to get the turnover for that particular sub segment...

Current Measures (Not sure if these are what I need...):
Term Count:=COUNTA('YTD Terms'[Employee Name]) 'Employees can sometimes term twice in a given period so we don't want a distinct count
CY HC:=DISTINCTCOUNT('CY HC'[Employee Number])
LY HC:=DISTINCTCOUNT('LY HC'[Employee Number])
AVG HC:=([LY HC]+[CY HC])/2

Hierarchies:
Department > Level Down
Year > Quarter > Month > Day

*Note the CY Headcount Date field will always be the current end of quarter. This could be used to calculate the annualization. If the two tables were combined it would be the max date in this column...

Can someone please provide some guidance on how to calculate annualized turnover based on the above scenario. I reviewed some of the content on this BlogPost that looks like it's close to what I want to do, but was not sure how to change it to fit my needs: https://powerpivotpro.com/2013/04/c...a-time-period-guest-post-from-chris-campbell/

I have a sample file mocked up if that would be easier to work with. It can be found here: DROPBOX FILE LINK

Can you AutoAverage in Excel?
There is a drop-down next to the AutoSum symbol. Open the drop-down to choose AVERAGE, COUNT, MAX, or MIN
Going to bump this thread. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If someone could provide a little guidance to the method I may be able to implement it myself.

Matt-

Thanks for your response. I visited your link and downloaded the sample file and I believe I can see the direction you're going by identifying if an employee was in headcount at X point in time or if they had been termed at X point in time based on using some date criteria in measures (not exactly sure, but that's what direction I was thinking based on your example). Unfortunately, organizing the data in this format is not a possibility. In our database Hire Facts are not associated with Termination Facts, meaning I can't reconcile which records are associated with which... I could do this manually if I worked for a small company, but that's not the case. I can also see a number of scenarios where I would run into issues with people that have multiple jobs, multiple hires dates and multiple termination dates.

Is there any way I could accomplish my end goal (Dynamic Employee Turnover) within the current data structure described above?
