Need help adding a date range to a measure

[RichOB]

Hi I have a measure that counts the total active clients, I want to show this month over month in a line graph but also compare it against last year.

How do I make 2 separate measures using the measure below and the dates here?: 

01/04/2024 to 31/03/2025?

01/04/2023 - 31/03/2024

I have a separate "Main Calendar" as a date table with the date in dd/mm/yy.

Here's my existing measure:

Active_Clients =
VAR CurrentMonthStart = MIN('Main_Calendar'[Date])
VAR CurrentMonthEnd = MAX('Main_Calendar'[Date])
RETURN
CALCULATE(
COUNTROWS(Table,
Table[Start_Date] <= CurrentMonthEnd,
OR(ISBLANK(Table[Start_Date), Table[Start_Date] >= CurrentMonthStart)
)

Thanks

Hi,

Share some data to work with and show the expected result.  Share data in a format that can be pasted in an MS Excel file.

Hi @RichOB,
Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum. Thank you @pankajnamekar25,  for your inputs on this issue.

After thoroughly reviewing the details you provided, I was able to reproduce the scenario, and it worked on my end. I have used it as sample data on my end and successfully implemented it.   

Active clients Dax:

Active_Clients =

CALCULATE(

    COUNTROWS('Clients'),

    'Clients'[Start_Date] <= MAX('Main_Calendar'[Date]),

    OR(

        ISBLANK('Clients'[End_Date]),

        'Clients'[End_Date] >= MIN('Main_Calendar'[Date])

    )

)

Active_Clients_FY_2024 Dax:

Active_Clients_FY_2024 =

CALCULATE(

    [Active_Clients],

    FILTER(

        'Main_Calendar',

        'Main_Calendar'[Date] >= DATE(2023,4,1) &&

        'Main_Calendar'[Date] <= DATE(2024,3,31)

    )

)

Active_Clients_FY_2025 Dax:

Active_Clients_FY_2025 =

CALCULATE(

    [Active_Clients],

    FILTER(

        'Main_Calendar',

        'Main_Calendar'[Date] >= DATE(2024,4,1) &&

        'Main_Calendar'[Date] <= DATE(2025,3,31)

    )

)

Hello @RichOB 

Active_Clients :=

VAR CurrentMonthStart = MIN('Main_Calendar'[Date])

VAR CurrentMonthEnd = MAX('Main_Calendar'[Date])

RETURN

CALCULATE(

    COUNTROWS('Table'),

    'Table'[Start_Date] <= CurrentMonthEnd,

    OR(

        ISBLANK('Table'[End_Date]),

        'Table'[End_Date] >= CurrentMonthStart

    )

)

Active_Clients_FY_2024_25 :=

CALCULATE(

    [Active_Clients],

    'Main_Calendar'[Date] >= DATE(2024, 4, 1),

    'Main_Calendar'[Date] <= DATE(2025, 3, 31)

)

Active_Clients_FY_2023_24 :=

CALCULATE(

    [Active_Clients],

    'Main_Calendar'[Date] >= DATE(2023, 4, 1),

    'Main_Calendar'[Date] <= DATE(2024, 3, 31)

)

 Place 'Main_Calendar'[Month] (or a similar month/year field) on the x-axis.

Add both Active_Clients_FY_2024_25 and Active_Clients_FY_2023_24 as values for comparison

Hi @pankajnamekar25, thanks for your reply. The measures worked to get the individual annual numbers, but for some reason, when they are in a graph with the month on the X axis, it doesn't work. 

The top graph is the original measure with the same month selection for the X axis as the graph below. Would you know why this is happening?
