Measure to return value between two dates (start date and end date)

[Matthew77]

Hi,

I want to create a measure that returns the number of units between 2 dates. I have went through so many different types of codes I may be over complicating this for myself. I have a table with the following type of data :

Contract ID	Units	Start Date	End Date
123	11	01/01/2000	30/06/2018
123	10	01/07/2018	01/04/2021
123	12	02/04/2021

I want the measure to return the number of units. I have a chart with year as the axis but for some reason it doesnt seem to want to plot correctly to show how the number of unit changes over a given period of time. 

For example a chart to show when the number of units changed from 10 to 12 etc between two dates. I am able to produce the below manually by using a chart but I need it as a measure to add to another chart:

Thanks

The data you have provided and the explanation are not sufficient to understand your problem.
Please share sample data and the expected results.

@Matthew77 , can you share the expected output?

I have two blogs they can offer some help

Hi Amitchadak,

It would be like the below. I just wish to have a measure that will show how the number of units has changed over the years:

THIS CODE WORKED:

Units =

CALCULATE(

VALUES(Contract[Units]),

FILTER(

Contract,

Contract[EffectiveDate] <= MAX('Date'[Date])

&& Contract[EndDate] >= MIN('Date'[Date])

but to no avail.

Actually after reloading that code seems to work! Thanks anyway 🙂
