Creating Column/Measure depending on variables
Hello everyone,
It's not been a long time I'm using Power Bi and need your help to solve this issue.
I have the following data
| ID | ID2 | Date1 | Date2 |
| 1 | 2 | 9/29/2021 | 10/30/2021 |
| 2 | 3 | 9/30/2021 | 10/30/2021 |
| 2 | 4 | 10/5/2021 | 10/30/2021 |
| 3 | 10 | 10/5/2021 | 11/15/2021 |
| 3 | 13 | 10/8/2021 | 11/15/2021 |
| 3 | 15 | 11/2/2021 | 11/15/2021 |
| 4 | 23 | 1/31/2021 | 5/1/2021 |
| 4 | 24 | 2/2/2021 | 5/1/2021 |
I want to create a column which will be equal to date2 but in specific time period - values that are more then min value of date1 and less than max value of date1.
To clarify, I tried with the formula below.
Time Period =
VAR MIN_P_ = MIN('Tbl'[Date1])
VAR MAX_P_ = MAX('Tbl'[Date1])
VAR Time_Per = MIN_P_<='Tbl'[Date2]<= MAX_P_
return Time_Per
Just this does not work,it gives me this error: DAX comparison operations do not support comparing values of type True/False with values of type Date. Consider using the VALUE or FORMAT function to convert one of the values.
Could you please help to transform and adjust the formula above so that I could get a desired result?
Thank you in advance
Hi Nini1 ,
You can try below code:-
Time Period = VAR MIN_P_ = CALCULATE ( MIN ( 'Dates_range'[Date1] ), ALL ( Dates_range ) ) VAR MAX_P_ = CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'Dates_range'[Date1] ), ALL ( Dates_range ) ) VAR Time_Per = IF ( AND ( 'Dates_range'[Date2] >= MIN_P_, 'Dates_range'[Date2] <= MAX_P_ ), Dates_range[Date2] ) RETURN Time_PerOuput:-
Thanks,

Samarth_18 Thank you very much and should I change it when e.g. Date2 is from another table? I should write the code differently, right?

Nini1 I think it should work in that case as well.
