Check if date falls between two dates

Hi All

 

Hoping someone can help

 

I have a table which contains various data items for clients including a 'last contacted date'.

I need to be able to identify whether the 'last contacted date' falls within a 2-week period of a selected date or a 4 week period.

 

This is for a return that needs to be made so the next time period will be:

 

Number of clients contacted between 01/06/2020 and 14/06/2020 (within the last 2-weeks) and number of clients contacted between 18/05/2020 and 14/06/2020 (within the last 4-weeks).

 

I also need to be able to show by exception which clients have not been contacted in either period so that teams can identify and prioritise who needs to be contacted before the 14/06/2020.

 

Following this return the period will then move on in two-week increments each time.

 

I have a calendar table in my model which I could use, but I can't work out the best measure or calculation to show the data in the way that I need to.

 

Thanks

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Not sure what's your table looks like but you can get the start of last two and last four weeks and end of week by the measure as below.

start_of_last2_weeks = CALCULATE(MIN('Table'[Date]),WEEKNUM('Table'[Date],2)=WEEKNUM(TODAY(),2)-1)

start_of_last4_weeks = CALCULATE(MIN('Table'[Date]),WEEKNUM('Table'[Date],2)=WEEKNUM(TODAY(),2)-3)

end_of_week = CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[Date]),WEEKNUM('Table'[Date],2)=WEEKNUM(TODAY(),2))

HI @edhans , @v-jayw-msft  and @Ashish_Mathur 

 

Sorry for the late reply

 

Here is what my data looks like - I have the LatestContactDate is calcuated in the query editor using a conditional column to identify the latest date in either the DateofLatestVisit or LatestContact column. I have then, in the short-term used a fixed measure in the report to come up with the Contacted in Period:

 

Contacted In Period = if (Tbl_OpenCasesMerged[LatestContactDate]>=Date(2020,06,01) && Tbl_OpenCasesMerged[LatestContactDate]<=Date(2020,06,14),"Last Two Weeks",
if (Tbl_OpenCasesMerged[LatestContactDate]>=Date(2020,05,18) && Tbl_OpenCasesMerged[LatestContactDate]<=Date(2020,06,14),"Last Four Weeks","Not contacted"))

This is the graph that I am producing

What I would like to do is to be able to select a date using a slicer (which could inlcude a date in the future or in the past) and get it to automatically calculate whether the LatestContactDate was in the two weeks or four weeks prior to the selected date or not at all.

 

Hope that helps with the understanding of what I am trying to do.

 

Thanks 🙂

Can you provide sample source data. I'll repeat the links on how to do that. It is hard to work from screenshots as that requires a lot of typing on our part.

This seems to work.

Within Two Weeks = 
VAR VendorDate =
    MAX( 'Table'[LatestContact] ) 
VAR SelectedDates =
    ALLSELECTED( 'Date'[Date] )
VAR SelectedDate = [Selected Dates]
VAR DayCount = 14
VAR DateRange =
    DATESBETWEEN(
        'Date'[Date],
        SelectedDate - DayCount,
        SelectedDate
    )
VAR WithinDateRange = VendorDate
    IN DateRange
VAR Result =
    IF(
        HASONEVALUE( 'Date'[Date] ),
        WithinDateRange,
        "Multiple Selections"
    )
RETURN
    Result

See below. You'll note the date I selected is June 1, so future dates are all showing false. You just need to replace the final logic of true/false with whatever you want to show.

This will return true, false, or "multiple selections" if there isn't one date selected.

 

Within Two Weeks =
VAR VendorDate =
    MAX( Vendors[Last Contacted Date] )
VAR SelectedDates =
    ALLSELECTED( 'Date'[Date] )
VAR SelectedDate = [Selected Dates]
VAR DayCount = 14
VAR DateRange =
    DATESBETWEEN(
        'Date'[Date],
        SelectedDate - DayCount,
        SelectedDate
    )
VAR WithinDateRange = VendorDate
    IN DateRange
VAR Result =
    IF(
        HASONEVALUE( 'Date'[Date] ),
        WithinDateRange,
        "Multiple Selections"
    )
RETURN
    Result

 

The vendor table I mocked up is NOT filtered by the date table (not connected in the model view) because selecting a date removed everything that isn't that exact date. You can modify that to use 28 dates in the DayCount variable.2020-06-09 14_24_29-Untitled - Power BI Desktop.png
