Hi Anonymous ,
you can use this measure:

# Under 1 year =
var workStartDate=MAX('Employee data for PBI'[Work Start Date])
var workEndDate=MAX('Employee data for PBI'[Final Process Date])
var seniority= DATEDIFF(workStartDate, workEndDate, DAY)
var flag=IF(seniority>=30 && seniority<=365,1,0)
return CALCULATE(SUM('Employee data for PBI'[# Terminated]),seniority>=30 && seniority<=365)

    thanks Tanushree_Kapse  but when I try what you suggest I'm getting the following error :

     

    The True/False expression does not specify a column. Each True/False expressions used as a table filter expression must refer to exactly one column.
