    Hi esilva32

     

    It certainly looks like it would be easier to do this in the query editor. If you do need to do it in DAX, try this. Create a new calculated table:

     

    TableB = 
VAR _BaseTable =
    ADDCOLUMNS (
        GENERATE (
            DISTINCT ( TableA[Id] );
            GENERATESERIES (
                CALCULATE ( DISTINCT ( TableA[StartDate] ) );
                CALCULATE ( DISTINCT ( TableA[EndDate] ) )
            )
        );
        "TempVal"; CALCULATE ( DISTINCT ( TableA[Value] ) )
    )
VAR _Dates =
    DISTINCT ( SELECTCOLUMNS ( _BaseTable; "Date"; [Value] ) )
VAR _ResTable =
    ADDCOLUMNS (
        _Dates;
        "Total Value"; SUMX ( _BaseTable; IF ( [Value] = [Date]; [TempVal] ) )
    )
RETURN
    _ResTable

    Minor modification:

     

    TableB =
VAR _BaseTable =
    ADDCOLUMNS (
        GENERATE (
            DISTINCT ( TableA[Id] );
            GENERATESERIES (
                CALCULATE ( DISTINCT ( TableA[StartDate] ) );
                MIN ( TODAY (); CALCULATE ( DISTINCT ( TableA[EndDate] ) ) )
            )
        );
        "TempVal"; CALCULATE ( DISTINCT ( TableA[Value] ) )
    )
VAR _Dates =
    DISTINCT ( SELECTCOLUMNS ( _BaseTable; "Date"; [Value] ) )
VAR _ResTable =
    ADDCOLUMNS (
        _Dates;
        "Total Value"; SUMX ( _BaseTable; IF ( [Value] = [Date]; [TempVal] ) )
    )
RETURN
    _ResTable

It works fine on my end. Check it out in this file. Maybe you've done something differently.

 

On a different note, please always show your sample data in text-tabular format in addition to (or instead of) the screen captures. That allows people trying to help to readily copy the data and run a quick test, plus it increases the likelihood of your question being answered. Just use 'Copy table' in Power BI and paste it here. Or, ideally, share the pbix (beware of confidential data).
