Using TODAY() In Historical Visuals
This is probably a very simple solution. I have a card for daily count that uses Today() but I also want to see the historical trend. I obviously cannot use Today() since it will only show today. What could I use instead to show the count on each calendar date? Currently, there is not a relationship between the Calendar table and the data table, because I only have the start and end dates so I dont want my filter to only include records that started or ended on that date.
My Current measure:
CALCULATE(
DISTINCTCOUNT(Assignments[ASSIGNMENT_ID]),
Filter(Assignments,
([ASSIGNMENT_CURRENT_STATUS_NAME] = "Cleared to Start" || ([ASSIGNMENT_CURRENT_STATUS_NAME] = "Cancelled" && Assignments[WAS_NEVER_STARTED] = false)) &&
TODAY() >= 'Assignments'[START_DATE] &&
TODAY() <= 'Assignments'[END_DATE] &&
Assignments[JOB_POSITION_TYPE_NAME] = "Travel"
))
taylorb , you can use userelation and crossfilter to deal with this

Also, refer to this video how to take trend using a disconnected table

I didnt know that you can use inactive relationships like that. Thanks so much
taylorb ,
Is there a way to add new column which will represent actual date of reporting?
Example: today is 8/10/2020, tomorrow for all new rows it will be 8/11/2020, etc.
In this case you would compare start/end date with this columns (this column will substitute functino Today() so that it can be dynamic).
