DAX for between a date range Q

[Anonymous]

 would like to run my SUMX() with a FILTER() between a date range that I want hard coded. What I have doesn't work when I add in the between date range component. See code below:

EnquiryTest = SUMX ( FILTER ( '_enquiries,' '_enquiries'[_tsg_clientid_value] = 'accounts[accountid']) &&

'_enquiries'[Date] => {08/01/2018} &&

'_enquiries'[Date] =< {08/01/2018}, _enquiries[Amount (Enq)] )

What is the proper syntax for a between date range?

Thank you

It should be:

EnquiryTest = SUMX ( FILTER ( '_enquiries,' '_enquiries'[_tsg_clientid_value] = 'accounts[accountid']) &&
'_enquiries'[Date] => DATE(2018/8/1) &&
'_enquiries'[Date] =< DATE(2018/8/31), _enquiries[Amount (Enq)] )

But, would need sample data to be sure.

Shoot, sorry about that, I meant to use commas:

EnquiryTest = SUMX ( FILTER ( '_enquiries,' '_enquiries'[_tsg_clientid_value] = 'accounts[accountid']) &&
'_enquiries'[Date] => DATE(2018,8,1) &&
'_enquiries'[Date] =< DATE(2018,8,31), _enquiries[Amount (Enq)] )

First, sample data would help tremendously. Please see this post regarding How to Get Your Question Answered Quickly: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/How-to-Get-Your-Question-Answered-Quickly/ba-p/38490

That being said, I do not understand why you need a between date range, your formula looks like you just want a particular date, August 1st, 2018.

I am wanting a between dates filter.  I can't use the current month, because that won't work when the month changes.  I would like to see the hard coding of a between date range.  What would it look like with the beginning of August to the end of August.

'_enquiries'[Date] =< DATE(2018/8/31), _enquiries[Amount (Enq)] )

Sadly, I am getting the following error message:

Too few arguments were passed to the DATE function. The minimum argument count for the function is 3.

I have changed the / to , but that doesn't work.  If I change the month from 8 to 08 - it returns the same error.  Any thoughts?

Thank you for all of the help, Greg.  I am still getting errors, but I have ordered some books to read over the weekend.

EnqAmt =
SUMX (
FILTER ( _enquiries, _enquiries[_tsg_clientid_value] = accounts[accountid] && _enquiries[Date] >= DATE(2018,08,01) && _enquiries[Date] <= DATE(2018,08,31) ), _enquiries[Amount (Enq)]
)
