Hi,
I have a dataset of tasks that have a duration of multiple days. I want to create a filter that shows only active tasks on the selected date (or date range).
Example of my data:
| Task name | Start Date | End date |
| Build a ship | 1.2.2021 | 3.3.2021 |
| Build a car | 21.2.2021 | 28.2.2021 |
So i would set a filter on 15-20.2.2021 and it would show me the "Build a ship" task, because the date range is between the Start date and the end date.
How would i make a filter like this? If a changing range is difficult it could also be a weekly filter, e.g. show all tasks that are active on selected weeks.
Thank you!

@CarlsBerg999 you can add a simple measure, and then use this measure to filter where the filter measure value is 1
Filter in Date Range =
VAR __startDate = MIN ( 'Calendar'[Date] )
VAR __endDate = MAX ( 'Calendar'[Date] )
VAR __startBuildDate = CALCULATE ( MIN ( Build[Start Date] ) )
VAR __endBuildDate = MIN ( Build[End date] )
VAR __result =
IF ( __startDate >= __startBuildDate && __endDate <= __endBuildDate , 1, 0 )
RETURN __result
