    Hi rolf1994,

     

    You should be able to use the formula below to create a measure in this scenario, then show the measure on the Table/Matrix visual with PeriodTable[StartDate] and PeriodTable[EndDate] column. :smileyhappy:

     

    Measure = 
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( ValueTable[Value] ),
    FILTER (
        ValueTable,
        ValueTable[Date] >= MIN( PeriodTable[StartDate] )
            && ValueTable[Date] <= MAX ( PeriodTable[EndDate] )
    )
)

     

    Regards

Column = CALCULATE(SUM(ValueTable[Value]),FILTER(ValueTable,ValueTable[Date]>PeriodTable[StartDate] && ValueTable[Date]<PeriodTable[EndDate]))

Thanks for your answer. i get the following error when i try to create the measure:

A single value for column 'StartDate' in table 'PeriodTable' cannot be determined. This can happen when a measure formula refers to a column that contains many values without specifying an aggregation such as min, max, count, or sum to get a single result

    I created a column and it was in the PeriodTable table.

      I cannot use the calculate function when creating a new column in directquery mode. Is there any other way?
