Creating a flag using a value and two date fields

Hi Power Bi community,

I am hoping to gather some help in creating a flag to identify multiple service orders for a serial number based on contract start and end dates. I find it difficult to phrase this question....I belive the below visual shows this better then I can explain. 

 

The first two rows show 2 service orders for the same serial # with the same contract start and end date. The bottom two rows show 2 service orders for the same serial # but from different contract start and end dates. I am hoping to have the column "Miltiple Service Orders in a Contract" using DAX.

 

Service order #   Serial #   Contract Start Dt   Contract End Dt   Miltiple Service Orders in a Contract   
123ABC1/1/202312/31/2023yes
456ABC1/1/202312/31/2023yes
789DEF3/31/20233/31/2024no
789DEF4/1/20244/1/2025no
  • You can create a calculated column like

    Multiple service orders in a contract =
    VAR NumOrders =
        CALCULATE (
            COUNTROWS ( 'Table' ),
            ALLEXCEPT (
                'Table',
                'Table'[Serial #],
                'Table'[Contract start date],
                'Table'[Contract end date]
            )
        )
    VAR Result =
        IF ( NumOrders > 1, "Yes", "No" )
    RETURN
        Result
