SQL code to Dax expression

[Anonymous]

Hi All,

I need a requirement of implement below sql query in DAX. 

  declare @startdate as date
  declare @enddate as date
  set @startdate = '2021-10-18'
   set @enddate = '2021-11-15'

  select distinct count (Item_Number) from [dbo].[TblItem] as i
inner join [dbo].[Customs] as c  on i.Item_Number = c.Item_Number
  Where    ActiveDate <= @startdate and (EndDate > @enddate or EndDate is null)

However, the ActiveDate and EndDate are in 7 days interval. For example '2021-10-18' on Monday and the next date is '2021-10-25' the next Monday and soon.(7 days intervals). The startdate act as a minimum date and the EndDate is the maximum date from their respective columns and falls within 3 months 

Thanks in advance

Hi @Anonymous ,

I could not successfullt execute the SQL code on my side since it has error:

Ambiguous column name 'Item_Number'.

In Power BI, you may try:

Measure = 
var _start=DATE(2021,10,18)
var _end=DATE(2021,11,15)
return
CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(TblItem[Item_Number]), FILTER('Customs',[ActiveDate ]<=_start  && [EndDate]>= _end || [EndDate]=BLANK()))

declare @startdate as date 
declare @enddate as date 
set
   @startdate = '2021-10-18' 
   set
      @enddate = '2021-11-15' 
      select distinct
         count (Item_Number) 
      from
         [dbo].[TblItem] as i 
         inner join
            [dbo].[Customs] as c 
            on i.Item_Number = c.Item_Number 
      Where
         ActiveDate <= @startdate 
         and 
         (
            EndDate > @enddate 
            or EndDate is null
         )

this SQL looks ambiguous to me because it is not clear whether the filtering applies in 

[dbo].[TblItem]

or

[dbo].[Customs]

You can achieve a basic inner join like this

basicMeasure = calculate(distinctcount(item[Item_Number]),Customs)

//if filtering item
m1 = calculate(DISTINCTCOUNT(Item[Item_Number]),Filter(Item, Item[ActiveDate]<=DAY(2021,10,18)||(Item[EndDate]>=DAY(2021,11,15)||Item[EndDate]=BLANK()),(Customs))

@Anonymous  are 

[Customs]

and

[TblItem]

related?

@smpa01 Yes. they are related or joined with item_Number from both tables.

The ActiveDate and EndDate are both from TblItem
