Filter Table Visual by EndDate (Inactive Relationship)

Hi all, I have a very simple model and I’m stuck on something that feels like it should be straightforward. Staff table with columns: Person StartDate EndDate Date table with: Active...

    Many thanks Rupak_bi I will accept this as a solution. It creates a measure for use in the table making use of the inactive relationship. It is a shame there was no way to create a measure that worked as a filter but your solution is good!

Your Leavers measure works for totals but not row-level filters.

Fix: create a boolean flag measure using the inactive EndDate relationship, then filter the table visual on it:

 

ShowLeaver =
CALCULATE (
COUNTROWS ( Staff ),
USERELATIONSHIP ( Staff[EndDate], DateTable[Date] )
) > 0


Now in your table visual filter pane → set ShowLeaver = TRUE.

This way only staff with EndDate in the slicer period will appear.

Thank you Shahid12523 and FBergamaschi for your replies. I tried Shahid12523 measure but it did not work so I modified it to 

mShowLeaver =
IF(CALCULATE (
COUNTROWS ( Staff ),
USERELATIONSHIP (Staff[EndDate], DateTable[Date])
) > 0,1,0)
But that did not work either.

Here is my latest pbix Example.pbix

      Thank you Shahid12523 but I’d prefer to keep the discussion here so others can also benefit. The problem stated is really simple and I have provided a basic example pbix.

      After spending many hours on this problem on forums and ChatGPT, I have decided to stick with the fudge fix of adding my original Leavers measure to the visual table as an invisible column.

      Of course, I would welcome and appreciate anyone that is able to solve this very simple but frustating problem.
