Hi @usman96,

 

You can use below calculate column to achieve your requirement:

present =
COUNTROWS (
    FILTER (
        ALL ( list ),
        YEAR ( [Date] ) = YEAR ( EARLIER ( list[Date] ) )
            && MONTH ( [Date] ) = MONTH ( EARLIER ( list[Date] ) )
    )
)

absent = 
DAY ( DATE ( YEAR ( [Date] ), MONTH ( [Date] ) + 1, 1 ) - 1 )
    - [present]

Result:

HI @usman96

 

You could join to a Date table and add two columns.  The first column showing a 1 on dates that match your list.  The second column shows a 1 on days where there is no match.

 

Does that sound like it might work for you?

it would be better if could show them in bar dual bar chart 

 

The first bar show the present days  in number like ( 7 present days)

and the 2nd chart show the absent days  in numbers like ( 2 absent days ) 

Can you show me how to achieve this ? 

HI @usman96

 

Can you please mock something up (using your sample data) as I'm still not 100% clear.

 

I'm sure it's possible to come up with a formula, I just don't understand what you are trying to do (Sorry)

Can you implement this and give me some sample of what you said ?
