Create a measure to calculate values based on date column

shravanreddy133 — Mon, 28 Nov 2022 02:21:47 GMT

Table 1 :

I also have a date range filter which ranges from 2009 to current date. I want to create a measure to calculate the monthly costs based on the date range filter.

Example :

Total cost = Monthly costs * number of months.

If my date range is set at 1/1/2009 to 1/1/2022, the number of months should be calculated from contractstartdate from table1(not from the date range filter,2009).

so, 20,000 * Number of months(COntractstartdate(Nov2021) to current date(Nov 2022) = 12 months) = 240,000.

This value is then added to Table 2 Value based on contract number. Table 1 And table 2 are related through Contract Number.

Any help with creating this measure is much appreciated.

If this does not help
Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.
