[Solved] Counting rows with conditions and context

Hi! 

I have a list of events with an activation and inactivation date. I would like to create a measure which counts the number of active events (i.e. events where this condtion is true: ActiveDate < GivenDate && GivenDate < InactivDate || ISBLANK(InactivDate)) for any give date within the current context of the view.

 

Example Data for eventframes:

NameActiveDateInactiveDate

ABC

2022-01-012022-02-01
DEF2022-03-042022-07-01
GHI2022-04-06 

 

Example Data for dim_date:

Date
2022-01-01
2022-01-02
...

 

There are 1:n relationships between Date and ActiveDate (active) and between Date and InactiveDate (inactive).

 

This is my current approach:

 

 

Standing_events = 
VAR __currentDate = LASTDATE(dim_Date[Date])
RETURN
    (
        CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(eventframes),
            FILTER(
                eventframes,
                eventframes[ActiveDate] < __currentDate &&  (__currentDate < eventframes[InactiveDate] || ISBLANK(eventframes[InactiveDate]))
            )
    ))

 

 It works fine if I create a new table with a row for every date but returns an empty result if I use it as a measure.

 

Edit: 

This worked for me:

Standing_events = 
CALCULATE(
    COUNTX(
        FILTER(eventframes,eventframes[ActiveDate]<=max('dim_date'[Date]) && (ISBLANK(eventframes[InactiveDate]) || eventframes[InactiveDate]>max('dim_date'[Date]))),
        (raise_recover_eventframes[Eventname])),CROSSFILTER(eventframes[ActiveDate],'dim_date'[Date],None))

Standing_events =
COUNTROWS (
    FILTER (
        ALL ( eventframes ),
        eventframes[ActiveDate] <= MAX ( dim_Date[Date] )
            && OR (
                eventframes[InactiveDate] >= MIN ( dim_Date[Date] ),
                eventframes[InactiveDate] = BLANK ()
            )
    )
) + 0
