Applying filter on measure not working on visual piechart

I have a table XXX which has 4 fields:

ID, Gender, Startdate, Enddate

I created a measure YesNo which returns 0 or 1 when a selected date from a slicer lies beween startdate and enddate:

 

Measure YesNo =
var _datum=SELECTEDVALUE('Peildata'[datum])           
return
if (
SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[startdate]) <= _datum
&&
SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[enddate]) >= _datum,
1,0)

 

When i present the results in a table visual it is correct

IDGenderYesNo
1M1
2M1
3M0
4F1
5F0

 

When I want to create a piechart visual which counts males/females, it gives me 3M and 2F, that is also correct.

But when I add the measure YesNo in the piechart visual filtering with YesNO is 1 and I expected to see 2M and 1 F

but my visual totally blanks and dissapears with no results

What does this not work?

    Hi Yang,

     

    Thank you very much. It puts me in the right direction. The solution is not have 2 separate measures

    for the 2 genders, but teh folowing did the job:

    The folowing measure works perfect:

    Measure Headcount =

CALCULATE (

    COUNTROWS ( 'Table' ),

    'Table'[Startdate] <= SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Peildata'[datum] )

        && 'Table'[Enddate] >= SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Peildata'[datum] )
    
)

     

    After further analysis of my data I discover that the ID field has duplicates, so to count only the

    distinct values I wrote the folowing measure and it works just perfect!

     

    Headcount =
    CALCULATE
    (
       DISTINCTCOUNT(Tabel[ID]),
       FILTER(Tabel,
              Tabel[Startdate] <= SELECTEDVALUE (Peildata[Datum]) &&
              Tabel[Enddate] >= SELECTEDVALUE (Peildata[datum])
             )
    )

     

    Thank you very much for your assistence, much appreciated!!

    Hi, eyeekit

    May I ask if this is the expected output you are looking for? Based on your description, I have created two measures to achieve the effect you are looking for. Following picture shows the effect of the display.

     

     

    Measure M =

CALCULATE (

    COUNTROWS ( 'Table' ),

    'Table'[Startdate] <= SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Peildata'[datum] )

        && 'Table'[Enddate] >= SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Peildata'[datum] )

        && 'Table'[Gender] = "M"

)


    Measure F =

CALCULATE (

    COUNTROWS ( 'Table' ),

    'Table'[Startdate] <= SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Peildata'[datum] )

        && 'Table'[Enddate] >= SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Peildata'[datum] )

        && 'Table'[Gender] = "F"

)

     

    If this does not work, could you please share some sample data without sensitive information and expected output.
