    Hi baray098 

    I'm not sure what exactly your expected result is as you only mentioned just  the correct result. But assuming that your expected value is 18 for Dec 2017, it is possibly because when Power BI auto-generates the DAX, it tries to summarize sales_pipeline[Active Opportunities] grouped by DateTable, but those unmatched rows will still show up as blanks in DateTable column so those 500 rows will be added unless explicitly filtered out. This seems to be the case only if the filter value is 0.

     

     

     

    Try the following:

    Active Opportunities =
CALCULATE (
    COUNTROWS ( sales_pipeline ),
    sales_pipeline[deal_stage] IN { "Prospecting", "Engaging" },
    USERELATIONSHIP ( DateTable[Date], sales_pipeline[engage_date] ),
    KEEPFILTERS ( NOT ( ISBLANK ( DateTable[Date] ) ) )
)

You have not provided example of your Calendar table.

Perhaps you defined the monthoffset incorrectly.

I want to help you more but your description is too vague. 


You will get a quicker and better response without misunderstandings if you put time and effort into carefully writing a clear problem description with example input and output data. Look forward to helping you when this information is forthcoming


* Most importantly please provide example input data as table text (not a screen print) so helpers can import the data to build a solution for you. (Learn how to share data below)
* Provide the example desired output, with a clear step-by-step description of calculations and the process flow. ‌‌
* Please DO give a simple non-technical functional description of what you want
* Keep it simple and break large projects into smaller questions and ask just one question per ticket.
* Rename columns to user friendly names. Avoid your own system jargon that we may not understand.
* Take time and care to use the same table and field names in the input, output and description so we can understand your problem and help you.
* Remove any unneeded tables, rows or columns which may cause confusion. Keep it short and concise with the minimal information regarding the key problem.
* Remember not to share private data ... we don't want you to get into trouble. ‌‌
