Merge in a single Line Chart two visuals with different dates columns

[Anonymous]

Dear PowerBi Community,

I would like to share you a problem that I'm facing right now:

I have two differents columns dates (IFD Actual and IFD Planned) that after counting them  (Dax formule in the 3rd picture), I would like to show in the same graph as I was capable to do in Excel. I tried to use one unique calendar table with USERELATIONSHIP without any particular success. Last remark: the two graphs separetely show the correct information as you may see in the second picture.

@Anonymous , with inactive join you need to create measure

calculate(countrows(table),
USERELATIONSHIP ( 'Table'[IFD Actual], DimDate[Date] )
)

calculate(countrows(table),
USERELATIONSHIP ( 'Table'[IFD Planned], DimDate[Date] )
)

Dear @amitchandak , thanks a lot for your reply, I tried as you indicated but it doens't work properly:EDIT: I analysed carefully the problem and in the Userelationship I have to use IFD Actual and not IFD Planned as I did, the problem is that with IFD Actual , due to the filter that I'm using, the final graph is empty. So I have to find another way to do the same thing that the filter does

I'm close, I need only that the IFD actual count has a cumulative function

Hi @Anonymous ,

I suggest you to create a virtual table in var and then calculate the running total.

My measure:

IFD_Actual = 
VAR _VIRTUAL_TABLE =
    ADDCOLUMNS (
        ALL ( 'Date 1' ),
        "TEST",
            CALCULATE (
                COUNT ( 'MODEL 60'[IFD Actual] ),
                USERELATIONSHIP ( 'MODEL 60'[IFD Actual], 'Date 1'[Date] )
            )
    )
RETURN
    SUMX ( FILTER ( _VIRTUAL_TABLE, [Date] <= MAX ( 'Date 1'[Date] ) ), [TEST] )

In my sample, [Date] column in my table visual is from 'Date 1'. So the filter in sumx is [Date] (from virtual table) <= MAX('Date1'[Date]).

Note: We need to add the [Date] column in table visual in Max field in sumx filter.
