    Hi Anonymous 

    You cannot filter the two fields of the data table directly through the calendar date table, because there can only be one active relationship between the two tables. If you want to filter two dates at the same time, you need to create an active relationship and an inactive relationship between the two tables, and then use USERELATIONSHIP() to activate the inactive relationship. One thing to note, when you add the measure that creates the activation relationship to the corresponding visual, it will take effect

    (1)Create two relationships between data table and calendar date table .

    (2)Then create a measure to activate the inactive relationship.

    Quantity by returned date = CALCULATE(SUM(Items[Quantity]),USERELATIONSHIP(Items[Date Returned],'Calendar'[Date]))

    (3) If you put two dates in the same chart, it may seem a bit messy, you can separate the purchase date and the return date into two charts.

    I have attached my pbix file, you can refer to it .
