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:
