why are you creating a column rather than a measures? ok if there is no relationship between the tables - what is the purpose of what you are doing so i can understand better, what is your objective?

if you are just trying to get the max date from each table

ie.
isgreater =
VAR maxtable1 =
CALCULATE ( MAX ( table1[date] ) )
VAR maxtable2 =
CALCULATE ( MAX ( table2[date] ) )
RETURN
IF ( maxtable1 > maxtable2, 1, 0 )

if the relationship is not active, you need to use the userelationship() function to force the measure you want to look at a specific date.

however looking at your code, what are you joining on relationship wise.

My purpose is to find out theTickets open at the end of each month.Also want to know, what was the status of that ticket last month. For eg;I have a ticket, which is opened in 1st July and closed on 25th September. For the month of 31st July the status is open.For the month of August the status is open.But for the month of September it is closed. So I want to see the status of ticket per month as it is, till it get closed. (In this case July-Open, Aug-Open), If I pull a report in December, I still want to see the same status. I am using the date closed to identify if a ticket is open or closed. To achieve this, I am brining an external table, called of end of month, which is formatted and has all dates similar to my date closed table… from 2018 and want to use the below logic ( don’t know if it works ☹)  If date closed &gt; end of the month (external table) – ( This will bring the closed ones also)|| isblank date closed – check the status&amp;&amp; date opened&lt;= end of month, 1,0 ( This will limit my ticket to less than end of month)  I will use end of month date as a filter 😊
