churn rate calculation - multiple date columns in a measure ?? Urgent help needed

[Anonymous]

Hello, I have a data model with the following columns and I am trying to find the monthly churn rate number. Can someone please advise what measures I have to write?  (I also have a calendar table which is connected through all non-active relationships to both date columns -- this is key since there are multiple date columns I need to use in the measures??) The churn rate formula is: sum of deactivated users at the end of the month/sum of active users at the beginng of the month. I am very beginner, so having someone help me actually write the dax instead of point me to an article would be super helpful

User ID	User_Status	User_Activated_Date	User_Deactivated_Date
1	Activated	12/12/19
2	Deactivated	12/12/19	2/12/19
3	Activated	12/12/19
4	Deactivated	12/12/19	3/12/19
5	Activated	12/12/19

@amitchandak this was very helpful for a lot of my work!! but I think my question still stands about the churn rate -- how do I make a measure with employees churned THIS period over active employees LAST PERIOD IF they each use DIFFERENT date columns? That is what I am confused about

We have used a measure last period for month and year, That can be used. I will try to put an example
