I struggle with DAX big time and I've been struggling with trying to create a new measure that establishes the number of active users based on a "Hire date" and "Termination date". What DAX function can I use to find active employee count if I only have hire and term dates? I am assuming that once I have this measure, I can use a slicer, for a specific period in time, and have an accurate headcount on said date. Any help is appreciated.

Hi, @KeyFMSPM
You can try the following methods.
Sample data:
Create a new calendar table.
Date = CALENDAR(MIN('Table'[Hire date]),TODAY())
Measure:
Measure =
CALCULATE (
COUNT ( 'Table'[Employee] ),
FILTER ( ALL ( 'Table' ), [Termination date] = BLANK () )
)
+ CALCULATE (
COUNT ( 'Table'[Employee] ),
FILTER (
ALL ( 'Table' ),
[Hire date] >= MIN ( 'Date'[Date] )
&& [Termination date] <= MAX ( 'Date'[Date] )
&& [Termination date] <> BLANK ()
)
)
