    Hi, Harald 

     

    It’s my pleasure to answer for you.

    According to your description,I think you need to crate a date table ,then create a measure used in 'values'.

    Like this:

    measure =
COUNTROWS (
    FILTER (
        Computers,
        [SysStartTime] <= MAX ( 'Table'[Date] )
            && [SysEndTime] >= MAX ( 'Table'[Date] )
    )
)

    Here is my sample .pbix file.Hope it helps.

    If it doesn’t solve your problem, please feel free to ask me.

     

    Best Regards

    Janey Guo

Hi Janey,

Thank you for your answer, this solved my problem.

In my original solution I already had a date table, so your solution worked inmediately.
