Return a value based on date start and date end
Need help please!
I need to return a value based on a date range. I have two tables, one has the date (which i need to return the id) and the other has the date start and date end of the coresponding ids. I have made two smaller tables as an example.
My first table provides the date start and date end of each id. I need to populate the id column in the table below.
These tables are just mockups, I have a much larger tables (with more ids and dates) loaded into power bi already. I could do it in excel using a VLOOKUP but can not work out how to make it work in Power BI.
Any help would be much appreciated!
If I name the first table to Intervals and the second to Dates you could try:
Id = CALCULATE( VALUES(Intervals[Id]); FILTER( Intervals; Intervals[Date_Start] <= EARLIER(Dates[Date]) && Intervals[Date_End] >= EARLIER(Dates[Date]) ) )
