    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    First, you need a new table to save all dates.

    Year =
GENERATESERIES ( YEAR ( MIN ( 'Table'[entry] ) ), YEAR ( NOW () ), 1 )

    Then cross join two tables to get a new temporary table.

    TEMPTABLE =
CROSSJOIN ( 'Table', 'Year' )

    Create the final table after filtering.

    FinalTable =
CALCULATETABLE (
    'TEMPTABLE',
    FILTER (
        'TEMPTABLE',
        'TEMPTABLE'[Value]
            <= IF ( ISBLANK ( YEAR ( 'TEMPTABLE'[exit] ) ), 2019, YEAR ( 'TEMPTABLE'[exit] ) )
            && 'TEMPTABLE'[Value] >= YEAR ( 'TEMPTABLE'[entry] )
    )
)


    Now you can create  a column to get your result with your logic.

    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    The 2019 is the year at which the date ends. I use this hard code to get test result faster. So Year(today()) can work. As for YEAR(LASTDATE('Year'[End])), it is the same as your code to get the year at which the date ends.

Hi Anonymous ,

 

You can use this code:YEAR(LASTDATE('Year'[End])) to replace 2019.

Hi v-eachen-msft ,

 

I am not sure if that works as it should.

 

I now used Year(today()) to replace 2019, because I always want to make the calculation until the current date. 

 

Can you please tell me again what the "2019" exactly does within the code?

 

Thanks!

Mark
