Have you tried LOOKUPVALUE?https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dax/lookupvalue-function-dax

DAX is easy, CALCULATE makes DAX hard...

I did, but i keep getting stcuk at one point.

In the latest LOOKUPVALUE used in the above code, the search column should be Employee ID, but it wont let me choose that option.

 

 

 

I managed to work around the issue that didnt let me pick EMPLOYEE ID, and managed to complete the code, but i cant seem to narrow down the Looked up value to a single value. There are multiple Leaves taken in a single week, so LOOKUPVALUE will return a table of values and not a single one.

The Error states "A table of multiple values was supplied where a single value was expected"

Is there anyother way to do this code other than LOOKUPVALUE? Or is there something that i missed to use along with LOOKUPVALUE?

I removed the multiple leaves that were coming in a single week. Now this code works. 

 

Employee IDEmployee NameLeave From Date Leave To DateFrom Week No. To Week No.Days
1001Miss. O1-Jan-201-Jan-20111
1007Mr. K2-Jan-203-Jan-20112
1009Mr. J2-Jan-2015-Jan-201310

 

But the ideal solution is to incorportate any scenario, and this code will fail in other situations.
