MAX Date date not working in variable

I have 2 tables, one which contains all my people information the other table contains their sick days and reasons.

 

StaffAbsence contains the following

Absence Key, Date, PersonRef, Period

 

A People Table where the list repeats every period for the employees this is laid out as follows

AbsenceKey,PersRef,Period,StartDate,LeaveDate,FirstDateofPeriod,LastDayofPeriod

 

What I would like to do is count all sickness days from the staff absence table which are in the period. However there are some instances where the person has a logged days sickness after there leave date.

 

So I want to count all sickness days in the period unless there is a leave date then I want to count to the leave date or period end date whichever is sooner.

 

This is my dax but it doesn't seem to be registering the <= and appears that this is being overrules somewhere.

 

SickeDays = 
VAR StartDate = MINX(STAFFPERIODIC,STAFFPERIODIC[First Date of Period])
VAR LeaveDate = MAXX(STAFFPERIODIC,STAFFPERIODIC[LEAVE_DATE])
VAR PeriodEnd = MAXX(STAFFPERIODIC,STAFFPERIODIC[Last Day of Period])

VAR MaxDate = IF(LeaveDate < PeriodEnd, LeaveDate, PeriodEnd)

VAR Result = 

CALCULATE(
	COUNTROWS(STAFFABSENCE),
			FILTER(STAFFABSENCE,STAFFABSENCE[DATE] >= StartDate &&
			STAFFABSENCE[DATE] <= MaxDate || LeaveDate = BLANK()
		)
		)

@lbendlin - thank you.


These two tables would be joined on the absence key.

The output I would expect would be:

 

In Period 2022-10
12345 - would count 5 days

10111 - would count 5 days

 

In Period 2022-11
12345 - Would count 15 days (with the 12/11/2022 not being counted as it is after the leave date)

10111 - Would be 16 days (Counting the 12/11/2022 as they do not have a leave date)
