Measure for Start and End Dates - Days Assigned Graph

Dear PBI community,   I have a Power Bi Measure question which I have seen called the “Events in Progress” problem. I've researched and tried to adapt various solutions I've found on this, but none...

    Hi draxicle1 

     

    Try the following measure

    Measure = 
SUMX(
    CalendarTable,
    CALCULATE(
        COUNTROWS(P6_Planned),
        FILTER(
            P6_Planned,
            P6_Planned[Start] <= CalendarTable[Date]
            && P6_Planned[Finish] >= CalendarTable[Date]
        )
    )
)

     

    This is the result you want

     

     

    Best Regards,

    Jayleny

    This is great. Thank you so much for your time. I have replicated this is my main model.

     

    The only fly in the ointment (I learned from a recent meeting) is that I made the assumption that every day between the start and finish is actively being used on every activity in the list. Apparently there will be a new column that shows the amount of time (effort in hours)  used between those dates.  So I guess if you had 10 days duration, but only 24 hours of actual effort spread across those, you would have an average 2.4 hours showing every day.

     

    Perhaps that's one for another post.

     

    Thanks all the same.
