    Hi miinseon ,

     

    Your solution is great, bhanu_gautam . Here I have another idea in mind, and I would like to share it for reference.

     

    As per your question, I have created simple data :

     

     

     

     

    Since you need to get the amount paid one day after the reserve date, we use the following function:

     

     

     

     

    Measure 2 =

VAR _date = SELECTEDVALUE('DAX DateTable'[Date]) + 1

VAR _sum = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[price]),FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[payment_date] = _date && 'Table'[reserve_date] = SELECTEDVALUE('DAX DateTable'[Date])))

RETURN

_sum

     

     

     

     

    The final results are as follows:

     

     

     

    If you have any other questions please feel free to contact me.

     

    Best Regards,

miinseon - To build on the idea from bhanu_gautam you can also do this with one date table. 

 

Create base measures:

 

CountBookings = COUNTROWS('Bookings')

TotalAmount = SUM('Bookings'[AmountPaid])

 

Then create measures that reference these, but change the context of their calculation by date:

 

CountBookingsByReserveDate = CALCULATE( [CountBookings], USERELATIONSHIP( 'Bookings'[Reserve Date], 'Calendar_table'[Date]))
TotalAmountPaidByReserveDate = CALCULATE( [TotalAmountPaid], USERELATIONSHIP( 'Bookings'[Reserve Date], 'Calendar_table'[Date]))
 
CountBookingsByPaymentDate = CALCULATE( [CountBookings], USERELATIONSHIP( 'Bookings'[Payment Date], 'Calendar_table'[Date]))
TotalAmountPaidByPaymentDate = CALCULATE( [TotalAmountPaid], USERELATIONSHIP( 'Bookings'[Payment Date], 'Calendar_table'[Date]))

 

Finally these measures will only work once you have created 2 "In-active" relationships from the Calendar table to the respective dates in the Bookings table. Very important to make sure they are both In-active. 

 

If this works for you, please mark as the solution.
