    Hi Anonymous

    Explaination for the formula as below

    qualifying1 =
IF (
    [selected date] < MAX ( Sheet5[datedeadon] ) //"max" -> get the current row of a column,
        && [selected date] >= MAX ( Sheet5[dateactiveon] ),
    1,
    0
)

     

     

    I make a new test as below

     

    in my test, [DeadActiveOn] is date/time type, DateDeadOn and Date (Date table) are in date type.

     

    Could you share a screenshot to let me know your data and what's error of the qualifying measure?

     

     

    Best Regards

Hello v-juanli-msft

 

Thanks for this answer.

Im looking to get scenario 1 to work.

Its about the same direction i tried yesterday night, but with a few changes...

 

For now, i dont get it to work.

Following Questions:

  • If DateDeadOn, DeadActiveOn and Date (Date table) may have different formats i.e Date with time or without. Does this matter?
  • In the formula, its possible to say DateDeadOn.Date  -- Should i use Date?
  • The 2 above doesnt really matter i think, the qualifying formula wont work this way. Why use Max?
    If the object hasnt a specified deadOn date its 12.31.9999, max is getting this date isnt it?

The qualifying measure is always false, cant get it to true
