Requirement:
Need only Direct Query
I should have the ability to select a single date from a slicer / calendar type of visual in the report
This should be passed to the datasource and give me only the relevant rows.
The datasource table/view doesnt have a single date field instead it has 2 columns "Start Date" and "End Date". Condition that needs to be applied is -- the selected date should fall between these two dates.
Example:
My table in the datasource
Start Date | End Date | X |
1/1/2022 | 1/3/2022 | A |
1/2/2022 | 1/4/2022 | B |
1/3/2022 | 1/5/2022 | C |
1/4/2022 | 1/15/2022 | D |
1/2/2022 | 1/13/2022 | E |
1/5/2022 | 1/7/2022 | F |
1/7/2022 | 1/22/2022 | G |
1/8/2022 | 1/9/2022 | H |
My selection in the PowerBI report (slicer )(Direct Query mode)
Selected Date: 1/6/2022
Result in the PowerBI report visual
Start Date | End Date | X |
1/4/2022 | 1/15/2022 | D |
1/2/2022 | 1/13/2022 | E |
1/5/2022 | 1/7/2022 | F |
How can I achieve this ? @amitchandak @Greg_Deckler @Jihwan_Kim @d_gosbell @tamerj1 @lbendlin

Hi,
Please check the below picture and the attached pbix file whether it suits your requirement.
expected result measure: =
IF (
HASONEVALUE ( Data[Start Date] ),
MAXX (
FILTER (
Data,
Data[End Date] >= MIN ( 'Calendar'[Date] )
&& Data[Start Date] <= MAX ( 'Calendar'[Date] )
),
Data[X]
)
)
Hi @Anonymous
please place the following measure in the filter pane on the table visual and select 'is not blank' then apply the filter
Filter Measure =
COUNTROWS (
FILTER (
'Table',
'Table'[StartDate] <= SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Calendar'[Date] )
&& 'Table'[EndDate] >= SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Calendar'[Date] )
)
)

@Anonymous , if you create a measure and use that in visual or visual level filter
var _max = maxx(allselected(Date), Date[Date])
return
countx(Filter(Table, Table[Start Date] <= _max && Table[End Date] >=_max), [X])
