Calculate measure based on month filter from visualization
My visualization will be for filtered for a given month.
I need a measure that calculates units x Dates[daysinmonth] x 24 (hours in a day)
The daysinmonth needs to be determined based on the filtered month. Can anyone help with this?

Hey Anonymous,
Create a calendar table where each row represents a date, with a month column that a user can select. You can do this in DAX, for example:
Calendar = ADDCOLUMNS ( CALENDAR ( DATE ( 2022, 1, 1 ), DATE ( 2022, 12, 31 ) ), "Month", FORMAT ( [Date], "mmm yyyy" ) )Create a relationship between the calendar table and your fact table.
If the user has selected one month, you can easily calculate the number of days in that month by counting the number of rows in the calendar table:
No of days = COUNTROWS ( 'Calendar' )I already have the Number of Months calculated column in my Dates table (this is not the measure I need) and I have a relationship between my fact table and the Dates table.
I need the below measure to use the month filter from my visualization to come up with the no of days in the month. The measure works if I just put in the number of days for the specific month I have filtered to, but I want the measure to be dynamic.
units x Dates[daysinmonth] x 24 (hours in a day)

To find the number of days in a selected month use the following formula in a new column:
No_of_Days= DAY(EOMONTH(Table[Date], 0))
So the final formula will be:
units x No_of_Days x 24
