@Vijaykumar_shan 

it seems that you dont have a dimdate . also i noticed that excepted is a measure not a column. 

 

modify your code as follow : 

m = 
        VAR mind =
            MINX (
                FILTER (
                    ADDCOLUMNS (
                        ALLSELECTED ( data[date] ),
                        "ex", [excpected]
                    ),
                    NOT ISBLANK ( [ex] )
                ),
                data[date]
            )
        VAR maxd = max(data[date])
            
        VAR res =
            CALCULATE (
                SUM ( tbl_name[actual] ),
                data[date] >= mind,
                data[date] <= maxd,
              
              REMOVEFILTERS ( data[date] )
            )
            
        RETURN res

assuming you have a dimdate table : 

create the below measure

m = 

var res = 
var mind=  calculate(
min(dimdate[date]) , allselected(dimdate), not isblank(tbl_name[excpected] )) 


var maxd=  calculate(
max(dimdate[date]) ,  not isblank(tbl_name[excpected] )) 

var res = 
calculate (
sum(tbl_name[actual]) ,
dimdate[date] >=mind ,  dimdate[date<=maxd , removefilters(dimdate)
)

return res

 

 

 let me know if it works for you.
