calculate 2 columns during a date interval

[Anonymous]

hello i have 2 table:

table_a_Date	table_a_cost			table_b_Date	table_b_cost
1/2/2022	10			1/2/2022	20
1/3/2022	5			1/3/2022	4
1/4/2022	3			1/4/2022	5
1/5/2022	6			1/5/2022	1
1/6/2022	8			1/6/2022	29
1/7/2022	1			1/7/2022	34
1/8/2022	10			1/8/2022	5
1/9/2022	5			1/9/2022	1
1/10/2022	4			1/10/2022	5

i want to make a measure that finds difference as: sum(table_a[cost]) - sum(table_b[cost])

but i want to specify a specific date like i want it to calculate the difference from 1/6/2022 till 1/10/2022 and so on but the rest of the days before 1/6/2022 just gives me 0

Hi @Anonymous 
You can use 

Measure = 
SUMX (
    VALUES ( table_a[table_a_Date] ),
    CALCULATE ( 
        IF ( 
            MAX ( table_a[table_a_Date] ) >= DATE ( 2022, 1, 6 ),
            MAX ( table_a[table_a_cost] ) 
                - CALCULATE ( 
                    SUM ( table_b[table_b_cost] ), 
                    table_b[table_b_Date] = MAX ( table_a[table_a_Date] ) 
                ),
            0
        )
    )
)

@Anonymous , option one is that you can have a common date table and then you can join with the date of both tables and use date from date table in the slicer and visual
