    You should be able to solve this by creating an inactive relationship between the Date and Clientes tables

    Then creating a measure with the USERELATIONSHIP function to activate this relationship for that measure.

    Cliente Registrations = CALCULATE( countrows(Clientes), USERELATIONSHIP(Clientes[Fecha_Alta], Dates[Date]))

    This will allow you to see other measures using the active relationship, but just for the count of client registrations to use the relationship between Clientes and Dates

     

    eg.

Hi az38 

 

Thanks for yor answer.

 

I can't set both directions on the Cabecera-Date relationship because I have different measures in the Cabecera table. Some of these measures use SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR.

    Hello

     

    I show you a data example on the picture with the measures. The relation between Cabecera and Clientes use the ID_CLIENTE column. The relacionship between Date and Cabecera use the column FECHA.

     

    I need to calculate the number of new customers by month (second graph) and filter all report by year. Example:
