Hi all, 

 I have a data table like below.  The data table represent an temp worker with the start date and end date. I would like to get a count a daily count of temp worker starting- daily sum of temp worker ending there work. I am trying to get a net value per day. How would I be able to achieve this?

Hi, 

According to your description, I can roughly understand your requirement, I think you can try to use this method to achieve your requirement:

This is the test data I created based on your description:

First you can create a calendar table to place into the date slicer as the selected date, you can change the date range based on your dataset:

Calendar = CALENDAR(DATE(2021,1,1),DATE(2021,1,5))

Then you can create a measure like this:

Count of diff =

var _selecteddate=SELECTEDVALUE('Calendar'[Date])

var _CountofStart=COUNTX(FILTER(ALL('Table'),[StartDate]=_selecteddate),'Table'[StaffNameStringId])

var _CountofEnd=COUNTX(FILTER(ALL('Table'),[EndDate]=_selecteddate),'Table'[StaffNameStringId])

return

_CountofStart-_CountofEnd

And you can create a date slicer and a card chart to get what you want, like this:

You can download my test pbix file below

If this result is not what you want, you can post some sample data(without sensitive data) and your expected result.

Hi @Anonymous 

You can use DATEDIFF to find the days between Start and End dates.

something like this:

DATEDIFF(table[StartDate], table[EndDate], Day)
