Need help adding a date range to a measure

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

    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?

    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)

    )

)
