Determine if date is between 2 dates

I have a table with an End Date for a record. I need to determine if this end date is between a start date and end date for a custom 5 year contract quarter. I was thinking of just doing this in DAX ...

    Hi john_hqi, 

     

    I tested mmace1's idea. It works. Please have a try.

    1. Create a table "Quarters".

    2. Add a calculated column:

    Column =
CALCULATE (
    VALUES ( Quarters[Value] ),
    FILTER (
        'Quarters',
        'Quarters'[Start] <= EARLIER ( 'Calendar'[Date] )
            && 'Quarters'[End] >= EARLIER ( 'Calendar'[Date] )
    )
)

    3. If more quarters neeed, we can add to table "Quarters".

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Best Regards!

Hello v-jiascu-msft ,

 

Your solution may help my case too. Can you please tell me what is the relationship between the two tables (quarters and calendar tables) you are using? (i.e. what datafields in the two tables you are using to connect the two tables?)

 

Everything works fine for me in the formula until the function EARLIER. Just after the EARLIER function when I am trying to type the date field from my calendar table I don't have the list of the available data fields to choose it. I believe I did not connected the two tables properly. I tried to connect the field "Start date" in Quarters table with field "Date" in date teble (not sure if this is correct). 

 

Many thanks
