Hello,
Let's say that I have two tables:
Table 1
| A | Date |
|----|------------|
| A1 | 01/02/2012 |
| A1 | 03/04/2015 |
| A2 | 04/03/2012 |
| A5 | 25/07/2018 |
| A1 | 04/03/2012 |
| A2 | 05/06/2015 |
Table 2
| A | Date 1 | Date 2 |
|----|-----------------|------------|
| A1 | 01/01/2012 | 01/01/2013 |
| A1 | 01/01/2015 | 01/01/2016 |
| A2 | 01/01/2012 | 01/01/2014 |
| A5 | 01/01/2010 | 01/01/2010 |
I need to know how many elements from 'Table 1' are valid using the 'Table 2' as criterion. If the date indicated for an element on 'Table 1' is within a date for the same element in 'Table 2' we can consider that the element is valid (i.e. for the element A1 we have three lines in 'Table 1', two are valid because they are between 01/01/2013-01/01/2013 and the third one is also valid because is between 01/01/2015-01/01-2016).
I would like to obtain the result as follows:
| A | Date | Check |
|----|------------|---------|
| A1 | 01/02/2012 | 1 |
| A1 | 03/04/2015 | 1 |
| A2 | 04/03/2012 | 1 |
| A5 | 25/07/2018 | 0 |
| A1 | 04/03/2012 | 1 |
| A2 | 05/06/2015 | 0 |
I've already tried several ways with no success...

@capko Here's another approach in addition to @Ahmedx
Check =
VAR __A = MAX('Table'[A])
VAR __Date = MAX('Table'[Date])
VAR __Table =
ADDCOLUMNS(
FILTER('Table2', [A] = __A),
"__Check", IF(__Date >= [Date 1] && __Date <= [Date 2], 1, 0)
)
VAR __Result = IF(SUMX(__Table, [__Check]) > 0, 1, 0)
RETURN
__Result
Of course you can write like this:
Column =
VAR _tbl =
SELECTCOLUMNS (
GENERATE ( 'Table2', GENERATESERIES ( 'Table2'[Date 1], 'Table2'[Date 2], 1 ) ),
"@Category", [Category],
"@Date", [Value]
)
RETURN
COUNTX( FILTER ( _tbl, [@Category] = [Category] && [@Date] = [Date] ), [@Date])+0
------or----
Column =
VAR _tbl =
SELECTCOLUMNS (
GENERATE ( 'Table2', GENERATESERIES ( 'Table2'[Date 1], 'Table2'[Date 2], 1 ) ),
"@Category", [Category],
"@Date", [Value]
)
RETURN
COUNTROWS(FILTER ( _tbl, [@Category] = [Category] && [@Date] = [Date] ))+0
Based on your description, I created data to reproduce your scenario. The pbix file is attached in the end.
