What is the required logic for active contracts?

Is it where end date in blank() or 12/31/9999?

New measure=Calculate(Count[Table[Contract]),Filter(table,Table[end_Date]='12/31/9999')

Please modify filter condition as per your active contracts logic.

Hi. Thanks for your revert.

Logic is for Showing How many Contract are going to be active in Jan-20, Feb-20, Mar-20, like this till Contract Expire completely.

There is no blank in Contract End Date. Last date is till 31/12/2027.

Usually in cases like this the best is to create a separate date table contaning all dates covering the time period you want to analyze. The table should not be connected to the data table with any relations.

Then you create a measure something like this:

Active Contracts = CALCULATE( COUNTROWS('Sales'), FILTER('Sales', 'Sales'[Contract Start Date] <= MAX('Dates'[Date]) && 'Sales'[Contract End Date] >= MIN('Dates'[Date])) )

I have assumed each row has one contract, so COUNTROWS('Sales') is the number of contracts.

Finally, use year / month / date from the dates table in combination with the new measure.

Hi Asfaa5

Create one date table.

Date=Calender(DATE (2010, 1, 1), DATE (2020, 12, 31)).

Then create year and month column in the date table.

Then create measure suggested by Anonymous .

And add year, month and measure to your table visual.
