Donor Retention

We are looking for a way to do donor retention, as well and acquisition of new donors. Has anyone done anything like this in Qlik Sense? Initially we want to try 3 and 5 years rates.

Hi,

I was just dealing with a similar case. What exactly is it you need to calculate / what is the methodology ?

Try this script to calculate Retention amount for year 1  and 2. it may help.

OriginalData:

LOAD * INLINE [

Year, Cash Donor, Amount

2009, 1, 302

2009, 1, 300

2010, 1, 353

2011, 1, 350

2012, 1, 358

2010, 2, 304

2012, 2, 305

2013, 2, 11

2016, 2, 30

2017, 2, 15

2017, 2, 20

2013, 3 ,45

2014,3,55

2015,3,65
