Dax DisctinctCount with date condition

So here is my problem, i need to calculate the quantity of different "DOC Number" but only if the Register date is < than Sales Date, in this case the "DOC NUMBER" repeats because it might be 2 different articles

i tried this measure but its not working

MEASURE = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('DOC Number'),FILTER( [Table1]), [Sales Date]>=[RegisterDate]))

    Hi v-xicai jdbuchanan71 

     

    i've tryed both the solutions you guys gave, sadly idk why it didnt work so what i did to make it work is to create a columm in the Sales Tables called "Register Date" with this fucntion 

     

    RegisterDate= Related('MembershipTable'[Registerdate]

     

    with this and the a mix of the measure i used at the beginning and parts of yours it worked 

     

    Tickets = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT('SalesTable'[DOC Number]),FILTER('SalesTable','MembershipTable'[RegisterDate]<='SalesTable'[SalesDate]))
     
    Thanks a lot for your solutions 3 minds think better than 1 :)

    Hello Anonymous 

    Is it because you used >= instead of just > in your measure?  When I test it the logic works if I use < and swap the order.

        Can you share a sample .pbix with the tables and relationships?  It helps a lot to know how the data is set up.

    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    Based on having created relationship between this sales table and a membership table which contains the "Register Date", keep Cross filter direction as Both. You may try to create measures like DAX below.

     

    MEASURE = CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(Table1[DOC Number]),FILTER(ALLSELECTED( Table1), Table1[Sales Date]>=MAX('membership table'[RegisterDate])))

    If I misunderstood it, could you please share your sample data or desired output screenshots for further analysis, you can also upload sample pbix to OneDrive and post the link here. Do mask sensitive data before uploading.

     

    Best Regards,

    Amy
