Stuck with Date Problem
The measure below works if I use hard cod dates (shown in red below) but not if I calculate the dates. The date calculations return the dates I want but I get the values for dates in between. I only want the values on the _dmax date and the _dmin date that I calculate using the variables.
using the calculated dates I get
Using the hard coded dates I get what I want. Values only on those two dates.
Any help would be appreciated before I pull my hair out.
Thankyou, lbendlin, for your response.

Use EVALUATEANDLOG to check your variable values. Most likely one of them or both returns BLANK.
Also note that you can use IN
if(HASONEVALUE(factsAffordableUnit[UnitCodeLU]),CALCULATE([Sum Net Rent],filter(dimCalendar,[Date] IN {_dmin,_dmax})))Each variable returns the correct date. I have also tried IN instead of the OR syntax but no change. Other ideas?
The IN syntax doesnt change anything. I have tried it.
What is the expected outcome? The [Sum Net Rent] for these two days, or for the date range between them?

Want faster answers? https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Desktop/How-to-Get-Your-Question-Answered-Quickly/m-p/1447523Yes the expected outcome is just [Sum Net Rent] on the two dates no data on anyother dates.
I think I isolated the problem but I am still stuck. Below is the desired result. The megenta line connects the max date with the date 5 minutes earlier. It works fine if I hard code the max date.
The problem happens when I try to harvest the user selected max date and use that to count backwards to the min date. I end up with all the dates in 2025.As you can see my harvested ddate is picking up the correct date. (retured _dmax below to varify).
Sorry about the screen shots. Cant think of a way to simplify and sanitize the model for sharing.
