Good afternoon
I have a spreadsheet that shows me the period of entry and exit of a patient and the total number of days.
I need to calculate the total number of days that are within the date filter period.
In the example I highlighted I have a range from 09/27 to 10/07. I only need to calculate the days of the month that are in the filter (September).
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi,
You could do following:
- You have a calendar table using calendar = CALENDARAUTO()
- In your existing table, I assume you have something like Patientnumber/ID
- Using below formula to create a table in the table view using DAX, you can have the a new table with patient and each day between the dates in/out:
Solution =
SELECTCOLUMNS(
GENERATE('Table', DATESBETWEEN('calendar'[Date],'Table'[in], 'Table'[out])),
"Patient",'Table'[Patient],
"Month",'Table'[mes],
"PatientDate", 'calendar'[Date]
)
Can you try this out?

Hi @powertechbi ,
Using a separate dates table, you can write a measure that calculates the row count within a specific date ranges.
Days Count =
CALCULATE (
COUNTROWS ( Dates ),
KEEPFILTERS (
Dates[Date] >= SELECTEDVALUE ( StartEnd[Start] )
&& Dates[Date] <= SELECTEDVALUE ( StartEnd[End] )
)
)
Please see attached sample pbix.
