Calendar that links two date columns so that calculated measures can be displayed in a single visual

Hello,

I need help with the following issue.

I have a table that contains two date columns - one for Task Assigned and one for Task Completed:

NameTaskActiveAssigned DateCompleted date_FYAssigned_FYCompletedCompletionPercentage

A	no1	True	11/09/2022	10/10/0202	FY2023	FY203	100
B	no1	True	05/02/2022	06/10/2022	FY2022	FY2022	100
C	no2	True	10/12/2021	10/01/2022	FY2022	FY2023	100
D	no2	True	02/15/2022	04/10/2022	FY2022	FY2022	100
A	no3	False	01/02/2020	02/04/2020	FY2020	FY2020	100
B	no2	True	04/07/2022		FY2022	FY	54.32098765432
D		True	04/03/2022		FY2022	FY	92.307692307692
F	no1	True	05/10/2022		FY2022	FY	1.666666666666
G	no2	True			Missing Assigned Date	FY	53.086419753086
H	no1	True		10/05/2022	Missing Assigned Date	FY2023	100
I	no4	True			Missing Assigned Date	FY
J	no4	True		11/05/2021	Missing Assigned Date	FY2022	100
K	no3	False			Missing Assigned Date	FY

Some measures and columns are calculated based on each of the date columns. Since I can only create a relationship with the Calendar table for one of the date columns ("Assigned date"), is there a way to create a calendar calculation that will allow me to display the calculated columns and measures for both Assigned and Completed in the same visual? I would need that calculation to use instead of the FY and FQ in the Calendar table, which now filters based on the relationship created with "Assigned date".

Thanks a lot for any help!

^{Hi Chris2016 ,}

^{Please follow these steps:}

^{(1) Create a new relationship}

⁽²⁾ ^{Create an index to prevent data aggregation}

^{(3) Create measures}

new complete date = IF ( ISINSCOPE ( 'Table'[Index] ), CALCULATE ( MAX ( 'Table'[Completed date] ), USERELATIONSHIP ( 'Calendar'[Date], 'Table'[Completed date] ) ) ) #newCompleteUsers = CALCULATE ( DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Table'[Name] ), 'Table'[Active] = TRUE (), USERELATIONSHIP ( 'Calendar'[Date], 'Table'[Completed date] ) ) #newCompleteTasks = CALCULATE ( DISTINCTCOUNT ( 'Table'[Task] ), 'Table'[Active] = TRUE (), USERELATIONSHIP ( 'Calendar'[Date], 'Table'[Completed date] ) )

^{(4)Final output}

^{Best Regards,}

Hi, Gallen,

Thanks a lot, this helps.
I used ISINSCOPE for the calendar FY in order to get rid of the index:

#new complete date = 

IF (

    ISINSCOPE ( 'Calendar'[FY] ),

    CALCULATE (

        MAX ( 'Table'[Completed date] ),

        USERELATIONSHIP ( 'Calendar'[Date], 'Table'[Completed date] )

    )

)

And this gives me what I need:

Thanks again!
