Time range for time column

Hello!

 

I'm working on a report where i want my graph to be dependent on a start and stop time from another table. 

 

In SQL my code would look something like this:

SELECT [Value]

            ,[logTime]

FROM database

WHERE logTime BETWEEN [startTime] AND [stopTime]

 

My code in dax for creating a calculated column looks like this (or at least, this is what I want to achieve)

Range = FILTER('Temp'[logTime], 'Temp'[logTime] > 'Wash'[startTime] AND 'Temp'[logTime] < 'Wash'[logTime])
 
Is there any possibility of doing this kind of calculated column where the start and stop time of the column is based on another table?

Thanks for replying!

With this COUNTX function, it only counts the rows, but i want the actual rows in a table to be returned 🙂

@gustavjMC ,Can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.

@gustavjMC , This should have worked as a column in 'Temp' table

 

Range = Countx(FILTER('Temp', 'Temp'[logTime] > 'Wash'[startTime] AND 'Temp'[logTime] < 'Wash'[logTime]), 'Temp'[logTime])

 

refer video for example -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czNHt7UXIe8

if by ' but i want the actual rows in a table to be returned' you actually mean that you want the total count of rows from the table that is returned after applying the FILTER(), then, if I am not mistaken, you need to effect a filter transition programmatically, and the only way to do this in DAX is not the FILTER() function, but CALCULATE and CALCULATETABLE.

 

Rather than copy/paste a whole chapter, read chapter 5 from the book: 'The Definitive Guide to DAX,' 2nd edition,  by Marco Russo and Alberto Ferrari.  It's all explained there better than I could.
