    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.
