    Hi Atiroocky 
    Calculated columns cannot be dynamic as they do not interact with the fiter conext of the report. This has to be a measure

    Count =
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( 'Table_DHU'[CityLocation] ),
    ALL ( 'Table_DHU' ),
    DATESINPERIOD (
        'Table_DHU'[Date],
        MAX ( 'Table_DHU'[Date] ),
        - [Parameter],
        DAY
    )
)

Thanks, that works perfectly !

As a "beginner" I’m not very comfortable playing with "Measures". A bit earlier before posting in this forum, I tried to put the column code in a measure, but I used Table_DHU[Date] as start date instead of "MAX(Table_DHU[Date])". I was returning me an error.
For me "MAX" was the last entry of all table data. But I was thinking as "table" data and no "measure" data. It is still a bit confused in my mind but time will help.

 

Thanks again !
