Hi @vinayganit ,

 

@audreygerred , thanks for your reply about this case. I tried to create a sample data myself based on the user's requirement and implemented the result. Please check if there is anything that can be improved. Here is my solution:

 

1.Create two tables with different Date range.

2.Use date fields of two tables as parameters:

3.Create measures:

 

Date_Measure
=CALCULATE(SUM('financials'[Profit]),FILTER('financials',SELECTEDVALUE('financials'[Date])))

Date2_Measure
= CALCULATE(SUM('financials (2)'[Profit]),FILTER('financials(2)',SELECTEDVALUE('financials (2)'[Date])))

 

4.Create a line chart:

5.The final results are as follows:
