Noob here. How do you count the number of rows before a certain date, and be able to show this value for every day in the calendar?

Hi @Walt1010 ,
I create two tables as you mentioned and I also build a relationship between them.
Then I create a measure and it will get what you want.
Before Vacated Date Count =
VAR _Slicer =
SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Date'[Date] )
RETURN
COUNTROWS ( FILTER ( ALL ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[Vacated Date] > _Slicer ) )

@Walt1010 maybe something like this, depends how you are viewing the data:
Orders Count =
VAR __SelectedDate = MAX ( 'Calendar'[Date] )
RETURN
CALCULATE (
COUNTROWS ( PropertyTable ),
FILTER (
ALL ( 'Calendar'[Date] ),
'Calendar'[Date] <= __SelectedDate
)
)
