Group data by start and end date

I want to be able to measure (avg, sum, high, low) values (dollars, hours) based on a start and end date. I have two tables:

 

Raw Data [Table 1]

DatePersonHoursSales
1/5/2023Joe201000
2/5/2023Joe151500
3/5/2023Joe152000
4/5/2023Joe253000
5/5/2023Joe201000
6/5/2023Joe155000
1/5/2023Mary201000
2/5/2023Mary151500
3/5/2023Mary152000
4/5/2023Mary253000
5/5/2023Mary201000
6/5/2023Mary155000

 

 

Phase Dates [Table 2]

PhaseStartEnd
Phase 11/1/20232/28/2023
Phase 23/1/20234/30/2023
Phase 35/1/20236/30/2023

 

I'd like to have a table where I can have all the hours and sales summed per phase. Something like this:

 

PhaseHoursSales
Phase 1705000
Phase 28010000
Phase 37012000

 

It would also be nice to have those phases in a slicer to filter other data too. 

 

Thanks!

@mikesdunbar , You can try a measure like

 

Sum Sales = Sumx('Table 2', Sumx(FILTER('Table 1', 'Table 1'[Date] >= 'Table 2'[Start] && 'Table 1'[Date] <= 'Table 2'[End]), 'Table 1'[Sales]))

Sum Hours = Sumx('Table 2', Sumx(FILTER('Table 1', 'Table 1'[Date] >= 'Table 2'[Start] && 'Table 1'[Date] <= 'Table 2'[End]), 'Table 1'[Hours]))

Hi,

How did you arrive at the sales and hours figures in the third table?

Hi Ashish,

I realize now that the tables are hard to make out without borders between cells. Table 2 lists all the Phases and their respective start and finish dates e.g. Phase 1 starts 1/1/2023 and finishes 2/28/2023. That final table sums the hours and sales based on the date range. 

 

On the subject of unclear tables, do you know how I could add borders? The tables were inserted here and I tried to do advanced table properties and it didn't do anything.
