    Hi LME ,

    Please try:

    Measure = 
VAR _min_date = MIN('Dates'[Date])
VAR _max_date = MAX('Dates'[Date])
VAR _result = 
CALCULATE(
    COUNTROWS('Table'),
    ('Table'[Date1]>=_min_date && 'Table'[Date1]<=_max_date)
    || ('Table'[Date2]>=_min_date && 'Table'[Date2]<=_max_date)
) + 0
RETURN
_result

LME , Create an independent date table and use that in slicer 

 

//Date1 is independent Date table, Date is joined with Table
new measure =
var _max = maxx(allselected(Date1),Date1[Date])
return
calculate( sum(Table[Value]), filter('Table', 'Table'[Date1] >=_max || 'Table'[Date2] >=_max))

    Hey again, I don't understand this formula that you have presented namely: "Date1[date]" and "Table[value]". Date1 is a column and not a table and I am not sure what you mean by value.

     

    I am just using one table called new_companyprofile which has two date columns called "Created on" and "Updated on". I want a slicer based on the time period between a certain date and a certain date, the card visual will change with a count of how many dates occured between the two columns in that date range using the OR operator. I have visuals in there too which changes based on the slicer.

     

    In my current slicer, I am using the "Update Date" column so it is only counting that column. I want the slicer to count both the update date and created on column. Refer to my example above. I really appreciate this!
