    Hi Anonymous ,

    Try this:

    IsAfterSelectDate =
VAR SelectDate =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Calendar'[Date] )
VAR CurrentClosedDate =
    MAX ( 'Table'[Date Closed] )
VAR CurrentIssuedDate =
    MAX ( 'Table'[Issued Date] )
RETURN
    IF (
        ISBLANK ( CurrentClosedDate )
            && SelectDate >= CurrentIssuedDate,
        1,
        IF ( CurrentClosedDate > SelectDate && SelectDate >= CurrentIssuedDate, 1, 0 )
    )

Hi Anonymous ,

Try this:

1. Create a calendar table. It is independent of the other table.

Calendar = CALENDARAUTO()

2.  Create measures.

IsAfterSelectDate =
VAR SelectDate =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Calendar'[Date] )
VAR CurrentDate =
    MAX ( 'Table'[Date Closed] )
RETURN
    IF ( ISBLANK ( CurrentDate ), 1, IF ( CurrentDate > SelectDate, 1, 0 ) )
Count of Open = SUMX('Table',[IsAfterSelectDate])

 

PBIX file attached.

 

Best Regards,

Icey

Thanks Icey. This almost works, but we also need to consider the issued date. For example, if someone selects an earlier date, the number should also change.   See below. This count should be 0 since none of the report were issued in January 1, 2017.

      Thanks Icey.  I got the number I was looking for, but when I created a relationship between the new CALENDAR table and my data table, it did not work. I need to be able to have a table of data results that users can export for reporting. Should the reltionship be on the ISSUED DATE or the CLOSED DATE?

        Hi Anonymous ,

        The new table "Calendar" which is a slicer table need to be independent of other tables. If it is not independent of other tables, it will be affected by them when selected. The effect is called interaction.
