Hello,
I have two tables: one containing user names, with a delivery type and an interval when the delivery was active (end date and start date). The second table contains the user name and a date when that user was on leave (not all users have a leave date).
Delivery table:
Name | Delivery | Start | End |
John | Apple | 5/1/2018 | 12/15/2018 |
John | Apple | 12/16/2018 | 4/1/2019 |
John | Apple | 4/2/2019 | 12/1/2019 |
John | Apple | 12/2/2019 | 3/15/2020 |
John | Pear | 3/16/2020 | 8/10/2020 |
John | Pear | 8/11/2020 | 11/15/2020 |
John | Strawberry | 11/16/2020 | 6/1/2021 |
John | Strawberry | 6/2/2021 | 5/1/2022 |
John | Strawberry | 5/2/2022 | 5/1/2023 |
Jenny | Apple | 6/12/2018 | 11/15/2018 |
Jenny | Apple | 11/16/2018 | 5/1/2019 |
Jenny | Apple | 5/2/2019 | 10/1/2019 |
Jenny | Apple | 10/2/2019 | 6/15/2020 |
Jenny | Pear | 6/16/2020 | 11/10/2020 |
Jenny | Pear | 11/11/2020 | 11/15/2020 |
Jenny | Strawberry | 11/16/2020 | 8/1/2021 |
Jenny | Strawberry | 8/2/2021 | 12/1/2022 |
Jenny | Chery | 12/2/2022 | 3/1/2023 |
Lily | Plum | 9/1/2018 | 12/30/2018 |
Lily | Plum | 12/31/2018 | 5/1/2019 |
Lily | Apple | 5/2/2019 | 11/1/2019 |
Lily | Apple | 11/2/2019 | 5/15/2020 |
Lily | Pear | 5/16/2020 | 7/10/2020 |
Lily | Pear | 7/11/2020 | 12/15/2020 |
Lily | Strawberry | 12/16/2020 | 4/1/2021 |
Lily | Chery | 4/2/2021 | 8/1/2022 |
Lily | Chery | 8/2/2022 | 12/1/2023 |
User table:
Name | Leave Date |
John | 4/10/2020 |
Jenny | |
Lily | 3/4/2021 |
I need help creating a custom column that looks to see if the Leave Date in the User table is in the Start and End date interval of the Delivery table and take the relevant Delivery type of that period. If there is no date in the User table, then the static reference date by which the search should happen is 3/15/2021.
The result should be something like this:
Name | Leave Date | Custom Column |
John | 4/10/2020 | Pear |
Jenny | Strawberry | |
Lily | 3/4/2021 | Strawberry |
^ For Jenny, the custom column should say Strawberry, because 3/15/2021 is in the 11/16/2020 - 8/1/2021 interval when the delivery was Strawberry.
Thanks a lot!

Hi,
Please check the below picture and the attached pbix file.
It is for creating a new column.
Expected result CC =
VAR _result =
MAXX (
FILTER (
RELATEDTABLE ( Delivery ),
Delivery[Start] <= User[Leave Date]
&& Delivery[End] >= User[Leave Date]
),
Delivery[Delivery]
)
RETURN
IF (
_result = BLANK (),
MAXX (
FILTER (
RELATEDTABLE ( Delivery ),
Delivery[Start] <= DATE ( 2021, 3, 15 )
&& Delivery[End] >= DATE ( 2021, 3, 15 )
),
Delivery[Delivery]
),
_result
)
