Logical operations between two tables

Hi! I have 2 tables:

Table A: document | start date | end date | Yearmonth

Table B: document | date | Yearmonth

 

Table A had duplicates so I created a referenced table to table A grouping by document, min(start), max(end), this way I now have 1 document per row, and I created a relation between this and B on document.

 

Not every field in B has a document in A.

 

I need to know how many of the records in B have a date between A[start date] and A[start date].

 

I tryied a lot of things but the simplest of all I can't directly compare values using IF.

Any ideas?

Thank you!

    Ok, I solved like this:

    New column-> Time_ok = IF ( 'Table B'[date]< RELATED ( 'Table A'[max_date] ) ) ;1;0 )

     

    And new measure to get the percentages:

     

    New Measure -> % tiempo = DIVIDE(SUM('Table B'[Time_ok]);count('Table B'[document])) 

     

    It seems to work, buy I'm new to Power BI so I'd like to know if there is a better solution.

    Thank you!

        Great! but I think will lost readeability if I continue to nest functions (because I'm new and want to understand my code in 2 weeks, when I advance furter I'll begin using your method), thanks!
