I have a date when client started to work with the company, and date when he finished/terminated.
I need to calculate what was total number of active clients in any given moment, First goal to see by years and then by months
I have difficulties to represent that client can be active within several months and then terminate. Usual approach stick to the one date not the range
Can you help?

Hi @Anonymous
Create a calendar date table in Editor Queries,
Create a blank query->open advanced editor, paste the following code
let Source = List.Dates(#date(2018, 1, 1),365, #duration(1, 0, 0, 0)), #"Converted to Table" = Table.FromList(Source, Splitter.SplitByNothing(), null, null, ExtraValues.Error), #"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Converted to Table",{{"Column1", "date"}}) in #"Renamed Columns"
close &&apply,
create relationship between calendar table and your data table (called "Sheet1" in my test) based on "Sheet1"[start date] <->"calendar"[date]
create a measure in Sheet1,
no_count = CALCULATE ( COUNT ( Sheet1[client] ), FILTER ( ALL ( Sheet1 ), [start date] <= MAX ( 'calendar'[date] ) && [end date] >= MAX ( 'calendar'[date] ) ) )
add "calendar"[date] in the Axis, measure in the value field

Hi @Anonymous
For this :
"represent that client can be active within several months and then terminate"
Do you mean:
select terminate date (eg.2018/12/20), then select "3 months", you need to show the clients who are active in the period :"2018/9/20~2018/12/20"
Please clear me, if it is convenient, could you show me an example?

Thank you @v-juanli-msft
But the result is not what I expected. Number of active clients have to grow up month to month.
Maybe it is my bad I did not mention that some clients are active so termination column is empty so this is how we understand whether client is active or terminated
Expected result (edited)
Any ideas? or should I "decode" what I meant?
Hi,
Share some data and show the expected result.
Hi,
I do not see any URL to download your Excel file.
