    Hi,

    I am not sure if I understood your question correctly, but please check the below picture and the attached pbix file.

    It is for creating a new measure.

     

     

    Items count from one day before to today: =
CALCULATE (
    COUNTROWS ( Data ),
    Data[Type] = "Type1",
    Data[CreatedDate]
        >= TODAY () - 1
)

Hi , monicaalves4 

According to your description, you want to get the count of items which type = "Type1" and you want to make the calculation dynamic? Like last n days?

Here are the steps you can refer to :
(1)We can create a what-if parameter as a slicer:

(2)Then we can create a measure like this:

Measure = 
var _slicer= [Parameter Value]
var _first_day = TODAY()- _slicer+1
var _t =  FILTER('Table', 'Table'[Type]="Type1" && 'Table'[CreatedDate]>= _first_day && 'Table'[CreatedDate]<=TODAY())
return
COUNTROWS(_t)

(3)Then we can meet your need , when we select the slicer n, it means we get the count of the items in the last n days:

Thank you for your time and sharing, and thank you for your support and understanding of PowerBI!
