Dax conditional If statement for counting rows in date table

Hello all,

I am trying to use CountRows, but toiling a bit with a conditional if statement. I have the following date table called MMYYDD

MMYYDDCount
31/01/20183
28/02/20183
31/03/20183
29/11/20184
31/12/20186
31/01/201910
30/05/201914

And another table called 'Summary'

MinDateMaxDateRejoinDateDateEnd
01-Jan-1830-Apr-2230/04/202129/04/2020
01-Jan-1830-Nov-2323/11/202130/03/2020

The 'Count' column in the MMYYDD table is calculated as below:-

 

Count = 
COUNTROWS (
    FILTER (
        'Summary',
        [MMYYDD] >= 'Summary'[MinDate]
            && [MMYYDD] < 'Summary'[MaxDate]
    )
)

 

 

I would like to add a second Count to the MMYYDD table that counts both of the following conditions:-
Condition 1. [MMYYDD] >= 'Summary'[MinDate] && [MMYYDD] < 'Summary'[DateEnd]

Condition 2. [MMYYDD] >= 'Summary'[RejoinDate] && [MMYYDD] < 'Summary'[MaxDate]

 

However only count Condition 1 if 'Summary'[DateEnd] is not blank
and only count Condition 2 if 'Summary'[RejoinDate] is not blank

 

If condition 1 or condition 2 is blank then
[MMYYDD] >= 'Summary'[MinDate] && [MMYYDD] < 'Summary'[MaxDate]

 

Any ideas and massive thanks for anyone that can help!

here's a general idea of how to implement that

 

ct2 =
VAR a =
    SUMMARIZE(
        MMYYDD,
        MMYYDD[MMYYDD],
        "ct",
            VAR d = [MMYYDD]
            RETURN
                CALCULATE(
                    COUNTROWS( Summary ),
                    COALESCE( Summary[RejoinDate], Summary[MinDate] ) <= d,
                    COALESCE( Summary[DateEnd], Summary[MaxDate] ) > d
                )
    )
RETURN
    SUMX( a, [ct] )

 

You can refine the logic by testing for both conditions together.
