    Hi rodrigomo

     

    Try the following steps

     

    1. Ensure your salesdate and deliverydate are of the type ( DD/MM/YYYY)

    2. Create a calendar table 

        Calendar = Calendar(Min(SalesData[SalesDate]),MAX(SalesData[SalesDate]))

    3. This will create a calendar table with Date as a column

        ENsure the Date column is also of the type (DD/MM/YYYY)

    4. Using Manage Relationship 

        Create realtionship between SalesData[SalesDate] and Calendar[Date] 

        Caridnality should be many to one and cross filter direction - Both

        Check Make this as Active relationship

    5.  Similarly create a relationship between Sales[DeliveryDate] and Calendar[Date]

        Caridnality should be many to one and cross filter direction - Both

        UnCheck Make this as Active relationship

    6. Create the measures

        a) SalesDone = SalesDone = Distinctcount(SalesData[SalesId])+0

            Adding 0 for days when there was no Sales on that day

        b) DeliveryDone =

                   Calculate (Distinctcount(SalesData[SalesId])+0,USERELATIONSHIP(SalesData[DeliveredDate],'Calendar'[Date]))

           This time around we are telling DAX to userelationship between DeliveredDate and CalendarDate which is not  

           active.         

        c) Create measure  SalescumDelivery = [SalesDone] + [DeliveryDone]

     

    7.  Create a table chart , picking values

         a) Calendar[Date]

         b) [SalesDone] measure

         c) [DeliveryDone] measure

         

        d) Under the Filters for the table  drag the SalescumDelivery and apply the condition is not 0

     

    8. Create a slicer for SalesCategory.

     

    9. Check everything works

     

    10. A sample screen shot 

     

     

    If this works for you, please accept this as a solution and also give KUDOS.

     

    Cheers
