Count of active Subscriptions (using their start & end dates) during any calendar filtration

[Alex1988]

Hi Guys, 

We have a aggregate table of subscribers grouped into their common start dates and end dates. We want to be able to have one measure that, irrespective of which date dimension being used in the chart it, could count the number of active subscriptions. Active meaning that their subscription had not ended before the start of the date range (their end date can be within the date range) 

Below is what we are using at the moment - but I'm pretty sure when we use this Measure on anything other than [Date] it calculates incorrectly. I would like a measure that would do this even if [month]/[week]/[quarter] .etc is selected. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Subscriber Base =

 

var __periodStart = MIN ('Date'[Date] )

var __accCount =

    CALCULATE(

        SUM(Subscriptions[SubscriberCount]),

        Subscriptions[Start Date] <= __periodStart,

IF(ISBLANK(Subscriptions[End Date]),TODAY(),Subscriptions[End Date]) >= __periodStart

    )

return

    __accCount

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi, @Alex1988 

Based on your description, I created data to reproduce your scenario. The pbix file is attached in the end.

Table:

Calendar(a calculated table):

Calendar = CALENDARAUTO()

There is no relationship between two tables. You may create a measure as below.

Subscriber Base = 
var _minperiod = CALCULATE(MIN('Calendar'[Date]),ALLSELECTED('Calendar'))
var _maxperiod = CALCULATE(MAX('Calendar'[Date]),ALLSELECTED('Calendar'))
var tab = 
ADDCOLUMNS(
    'Table',
    "Flag",
    IF(
        NOT(
            OR(
                [End Date]<_minperiod,
                [Start Date]>_maxperiod
            )
        ),
        1,0
    )
)
return
SUMX(
     FILTER(
         tab,
         [Flag]=1
     ),
     [SubscriberCount]
)

Finally you may use the 'Date' column from 'Calendar' table to filter the result.
