Create a calculated column for a specifik date range

Hi,

I need help with creating a calculated column in my date table, "Date_tabel". I would like to have 1 if it is between last 25:th and the 25:th before that otherwise 0. 

For example:
1. Today (the 14:th of march) I would like to have the dates between 25:th of january and 25:th of february marked up. 
2. The 26:th of march I would like to have the dates between 25:th of february and the 25:th of march marked up

 

Thnak you!

    Hi Regnbagar1 ,

    Please refer to my pbix file to see if it helps you. 

    Create a column.

    Column =
VAR _previous1 =
    DATE ( YEAR ( EDATE ( TODAY (), -1 ) ), MONTH ( EDATE ( TODAY (), -1 ) ), 25 )
VAR _previous2 =
    DATE ( YEAR ( EDATE ( TODAY (), -2 ) ), MONTH ( EDATE ( TODAY (), -2 ) ), 25 )
RETURN
    IF (
        'Table'[date] > _previous2
            && 'Table'[date] <= _previous1,
        1,
        IF ( TODAY () >= _previous1, 0, BLANK () )
    )

    If I have misunderstood your meaning, please provide your desired output and your pbix without privacy information.

    Regnbagar1 ,The information you have provided is not making the problem clear to me. Can you please explain with an example.
    Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.
    Appreciate your Kudos.

    Hi,

     

    Thank for the feedback. In my date table (see picture) I want to create a calculated dynamic table called "date range". The dates that are between the 25:th and 25:th the month before should have a 1 in "date range" column. In the example below the dates between 25:th of january and 25:th of february shoud have 1 in "date range" column and the rest of the dates 0 in "date range" column. 

    Kind Regards

      Regnbagar1 , try a new column like

      if([Date] <= Today() ,if(Day([Date])<=25, datediff(eomonth([Date],-2) +26 ,datediff(eomonth([Date],-1) +26) ,today(),month), blank())

        Thank you so much. When I try the function I get the error message "Too few arguments were passed to the DATEDIFF function. The minimum argument count for the function is 3." 

         

        Do you know how I can handle that in the best way?
