    Hi Atiroocky 
    Calculated columns cannot be dynamic as they do not interact with the fiter conext of the report. This has to be a measure

    Count =
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( 'Table_DHU'[CityLocation] ),
    ALL ( 'Table_DHU' ),
    DATESINPERIOD (
        'Table_DHU'[Date],
        MAX ( 'Table_DHU'[Date] ),
        - [Parameter],
        DAY
    )
)

MAX ( 'Table'[Column] ) when used in a calculated column returns the max value in this column becuase there is no filter context. However when used in a measure it will return the max value avialable in the current filter context. In other words, the value is different from one row to another.
