    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 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)

    )

)
