Count how many in a point in time

Hi,

 

I have a table 'ClientsList' with columns 

ClientIDClientRefStartDateEndDateActiveYN
Adna yaxyx2293619/04/2018 Y
Agnzs Hznnzsszy1799331/01/201824/04/2018 00:00N
Axdan Cullzn2280727/02/2018 Y
Axdan O'Shza2179122/02/2018 Y

 

I need the number of ClienID who were Active on 1/1/2018.

 

I have come up with this Measure but it's returning zero results. 

 

Tot clients start of 2018 = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(ClientsList[ClientRef]),FILTER(ClientsList,ClientsList[EndDate] >= DATE(2018,1,1)), ClientsList[StartDate] <= DATE(2017,12,31)) + CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(ClientsList[ClientRef]),FILTER(ClientsList,ClientsList[EndDate] = BLANK()),ClientsList[StartDate] <= DATE(2017,12,31)) - CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(ClientsList[ClientRef]),FILTER(ClientsList,ClientsList[EndDate] = BLANK()),ClientsList[StartDate] <= DATE(2018,1,1),ClientsList[ActiveYN] = "N") + 0

 

See attached sample data.

PLEASE, use this http://www.daxformatter.com/raw/ Smiley Happy

 

And try this:

 

Tot clients start of 2018 = 
CALCULATE (
    DISTINCTCOUNT ( ClientsList[ClientRef] );
    ClientsList[EndDate] >= DATE ( 2018; 1; 1 ) ; ClientsList[StartDate] <= DATE ( 2017; 12; 31 ))
    + CALCULATE (
        DISTINCTCOUNT ( ClientsList[ClientRef] );
        ClientsList[EndDate] = BLANK () ; ClientsList[StartDate] <= DATE ( 2017; 12; 31 ))
    - CALCULATE (
        DISTINCTCOUNT ( ClientsList[ClientRef] );
        ClientsList[EndDate] = BLANK () ; ClientsList[StartDate] <= DATE ( 2018; 1; 1 ) ; ClientsList[ActiveYN] = "N")
    + 0

Perhaps take a look at these two Quick Measures that I created to deal with date range type of issues:
