Measure with filtering from two date fields

datamortar — Thu, 03 Nov 2022 12:07:40 GMT

I have a data model with a measure for order amount. For simplicity:
-Fact table has four columns: order number, order amount, delivery_date, order_date.
-The fact table is connected with a dim table (Calendar) to the order_date column.

I need to calculate orders for the current order_date period (filtered with a slicer) BUT
it should exclude orders with delivery_dates that are outside the region.

I have tried to explicitly define the filter in the calculate but it seems to always also
include the implicit filters and/or include too much of the dim. I would like to have the result on the same granularity as the fact. Any suggestions?

I have tried (to no avail) :

order amount = CALCULATE(
SUM (Sales[orders]),

FILTER('Sales',
Sales[delivery_date] <= CALCULATE(
MAX('Calendar'[Date]),KEEPFILTERS('Calendar'[Date]))))

Hi, datamortar

Can you provide sample data for testing? Sensitive information can be removed in advance. What kind of expected results do you expect? You can also show it with pictures. I look forward to your response.

Hi! Here is a snippet of the data with some of it randomized. https://www.dropbox.com/s/2k4vit6es7i0z49/question.pbix?dl=0

The problem is now that I can't have the dim calendar in the resulting table.
