Compare dates

I have a table where it has following records

 

Sem título.png

I have a calendar dimension table for on my report and it has one slicer for filter dates. I need to show the ocuppation rate during the priod filter on slicer.

If the slicer stay in 07/01/2019 until 07/31/2019, I can't to use the fields "amount day" where check-out is bigest that 07/31/2019(last 2 lines in the table sample), and I need to calculate the date interval in check-in em max(calendar[date])

I did like this


if (table[checkout].[Date] >= max(calendar[date]);
DATEDIFF(max(calendar[date]);table[checkin];DAY);
table[amount days]
)

But not working, for example, in this first line of the table, it returned 30 days and I don´t know why.

My doubt is, how to compare date in power bi?

is your calendar table marked as a date table?

If it's not it will cause some problems with the built-in time intelligence functions.

Hi Nick, thanks for answering.

 

I did that you suggested and the problem persit. Look this:

In the highlighted line the date of checkout is biggest 31/07/2019, so the amount of "days ocuppation filter" have to be 7 days(calendar[date] - table[checkin] e not 15 days.

I undestand that my conditional not work:

if (table[checkout].[Date] >= max(calendar[date]);
DATEDIFF(max(calendar[date]);table[checkin];DAY);
table[amount days]
)
