Measure = 
var _maxPeriod = CALCULATE(MAXX('User Table',DATEDIFF('User Table'[StartDate],IF(ISBLANK('User Table'[EndDate]),TODAY(),'User Table'[EndDate]),DAY)),FILTER(ALL('User Table'),'User Table'[ID]=SELECTEDVALUE('ID Table'[ID])))
RETURN
CALCULATE(FIRSTNONBLANK('User Table'[UserID],1),FILTER(ALL('User Table'),'User Table'[ID]=SELECTEDVALUE('ID Table'[ID]) && DATEDIFF('User Table'[StartDate],IF(ISBLANK('User Table'[EndDate]),TODAY(),'User Table'[EndDate]),DAY)=_maxPeriod)),
