    tried it .

    did work from my side . ( change my table to query2 , since i already have a table called exp_table)

     

     

     

    ok i think i know the problem you are encountering . 

    change the code to this : 

    count of active products per day new = 

var calendar_per_product = 
FILTER(
GENERATE(
    all(Query2[product]),
    var pr = Query2[product]
    var createddate = SELECTCOLUMNS(FILTER(Query2,Query2[product] = pr),"createddate",Query2[createddate])
    var enddate = SELECTCOLUMNS(FILTER(Query2,Query2[product] = pr),"enddate",Query2[enddate])
    return
    CALENDAR(
        if(
            ISBLANK(createddate)  , DATEVALUE("2024-01-01"),createddate)
        ,
        if(
            ISBLANK(enddate)  , DATEVALUE("2024-12-31"),enddate)
        )
    ),
    NOT ISBLANK(Query2[product])
)

var gds = 
GROUPBY(
    calendar_per_product,
    [Date],
    "c", countx(CURRENTGROUP() , DISTINCTCOUNT(Query2[product]))
)

var res=
MAXX(
    FILTER(gds,[Date] in  VALUES(dimdate[Date])),
    [c])
    
    return res

Thank you very much. It works now with the sample data.
Before I'll try to put this in my real data report can you tell me how to deal with adding slicers that affect the calculation?
For example, with the sample data, if I use CreatedDate as a slicer or have another column like "plant" it will always output a different calculation for each month - compared to not being filtered at all.

 


Any ideas how to deal with that?
Thank you.

    for date, you should filter from dimdate  and not createddate . 

     

    because the code works base on the dimdate .

    I agree with dimdate but what about filtering by other columns of the original table like Plant for example?

    i cant tell, since i dont have an idea how the model is structured. 

    but i assume it should work, if you have plant column that already filters the data .
