Creating a count via lookup on another table

I have a Power Bi report containing two tables

 

table 1 - Licences table

matthewwylie_0-1647448725147.png

table 2 - a date table

I created this with:

Date table = CALENDAR(MIN(Licences[Start date]), MAX(Licences[Start date]))
matthewwylie_1-1647448780770.png

 

I want to add a measure to the date table that shows how many licences were active on each date

i.e

count licence number (no. licences) from the licence table where

date table.date >= licences.start date

date table.date <= licences.expiry date

Hi @matthewwylie ,

 

Please refer this measure.

 

measure =
CALCULATE (
    COUNT ( 'Licences'[licence number] ),
    FILTER (
        ALLSELECTED ( 'Licences' ),
        'licences'[start date] <= SELECTEDVALUE ( 'date'[date] )
            && 'licences'[expiry date] >= SELECTEDVALUE ( 'date'[date] )
    )
)
