    Hi Jensej ,

    Just update your old measure, not write a new measure, add the group field in the below filter, refer to the previous formula in variable:

    filter(allexcept(bi_employee,bi_employee(gender),bi_employee(group)),...)

Hi amitchandak 

 

Not really what i was looking for. I wanted like a Date slicer with only one input field on the report. 

 

And if i put for example 1.1.2020 i want to see how many People was living on that floor at the moment. 

 

It has to calculate like this:

Entry Date <= 1.1.2020 

Exit Date > 1.1.2020 or Empty 

 

Now i solved it with two page filters one for Entry Date and one for Exit Date but that could be to complicated for the Enduser that's why i wanted the Field directly in Report

    Hi Jensej ,

    Try like this measure and put it in a card visual:

     

    Measure =
VAR _date =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Date] )
VAR _people =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Table'[count] ),
        FILTER ( ALL ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[Date] <= _date )
    )
RETURN
    IF (
        _date = BLANK (),
        "Please select a date in the slicer",
        "The number of people as of the selcected date is: " & _people
    )

     

     

    Attached a sample file that hopes to help you: Checking Employee Count on specific date.pbix

      Hi v-yingjl and amitchandak  

       

      Thanks for your replies

       

      So i think im pretty close to a solution now. 

       

      I read in another artictle that the easiest way to have only one date to fill in is to only activate the after option in the slicer. Like this i don't have a long list with dates. In my measure i therefor have to change SELECTEDVALUE to MIN.  

       

      I have this Measure but i still don't get the correct Value. 

       

      I think the problem is at the Var _Employees...  I want to say where " Entry_Date is before or same Date as the VAR _Date and the Resign_Date is Empty OR after the VAR _Date. 

       

      Is it correct that && = AND and ||= OR in Dax?

       

      Employees at specific Date =

Var _Date = MIN(bi_datum[datum])

Var _Employees= CALCULATE(COUNT(bi_Employee[id]),

FILTER ( ALL ( bi_Employee), bi_Employee[Entry_Date] <= _Date &&

(bi_Employee[Resign_Date] = BLANK() || bi_Employee[Resign_Date] > _Date) ) ) 

RETURN IF ( _Date = BLANK(), "Please choose a Date", "Count of Employees at selected date is: " & _Employees

        Hi Jensej ,

        There seems to be no problem only from your formula. In dax, && = AND and || = OR are corrent so the logic has no problem.

        Perhaps need more information about this for further discussion.
