    As long as there is no overlap between different people for the same account then you can add a column to Sales as

    AM Name = 
var currentAccount = Sales[Account]
var currentDate = Sales[Date]
return CALCULATETABLE( SELECTCOLUMNS('AM Table', "AM Name", 'AM Table'[Name]),'AM Table'[Account] = currentAccount,
    'AM Table'[Start] <= currentDate && 'AM Table'[End] > currentDate )

I think the Rev measure in the sample is incorrect, I include a corrected version below

Rev = SUMX(Sales, Sales[Units] * Sales[Value])

Rev by AM = SUMX('AM Table',
var startDate = 'AM Table'[Start]
var endDate = 'AM Table'[End]
var account = 'AM Table'[Account]
return CALCULATE( [Rev], Sales[Account] = account, Sales[Date] >= startDate && Sales[Date] <= endDate) )

    Thanks for that John, As my real life scenario is far more complex than the above, your solution works great for the simplified version but not fully. Is there a way of pulling in the Name into the Sales table so i can use the other dimensions/metrics?

    I.e Is there a way of just adding the AM name to the sales table?
