Link date_start and date_end to calender table

noobtopowerbi — Fri, 29 Sep 2023 13:54:51 GMT

In a matrix I want to count all id's per month and year that are between date_start and date_end.

So when date_start is 2023/08/23 and date_end is 2023/11/15 than august should count 1, sept should could 1, oct should count one and nov should count one.

Chatgtp told met to link both date_start and date_end to the same date field in a calender table. However I don't get the correct result. Only august counts 1.
How to solve this ?
I am sure more members had this question, but I cannot find a correct answer.

Take a look at these two Quick Measures as I think you want something like them.

Hard to be specific without knowing your data. If we are just talking about a Dates table or something, then here's a guess:

Measure = VAR __MinDate = MIN('Table'[Date]) VAR __MaxDate = MAX('Table'[Date]) VAR __Table = ADDCOLUMNS( FILTER( 'Table', [Date] >= __MinDate && [Date] <= __MaxDate ), "__Month", MONTH( [Date]) ) VAR __Table1 = SUMMARIZE( __Table, [__Month] ) VAR __Result = COUNTROWS( __Table1 ) RETURN __Result
