Get number of days based on input from a slicer date range

HI,

I am trying to find number of days based on slicer start date and end date regardless of data.

 

Sample Data:

TemplateNo.of Tests
Temp_0119
Temp_0220
Temp_0330
Temp_0432
Temp_0523
Temp_0624
Temp_0756
Temp_0876
Temp_0987

Here is the sample data.

 

Date range from slicer : 06-01-2023 to 09-08-2023 (mm-dd-yyyy format)

 

Expected Outcome

 

TemplateDaysNo.of Tests
Temp_019919
Temp_029920
Temp_039930
Temp_049932
Temp_059923
Temp_069924
Temp_079956
Temp_089976
Temp_099987

 

For example, if i have data for Temp_01 from 06-21-2023 to 06-27-2023 in that case also the "Days" should show 99 instead of 7.Hope that makes sense.

Plese refer this file for sampel data. It has only data for one ID and dates from 22-06-2023 to 28-0-2023. So, the no.of days calculation is showing 6 days but in my dataset if i adjust slicer dates from  01-06-2023 to 08-09-2023 whether the data is present or not it should calculate number of days based on slicer date range.sample .png

Hi @mattiasdesmet 

I don't have a date table. I only have a date column in my dataset and the start date and end date comes from a single column. In the above solution, it has start date and end date as separate columns but in my case both are from same column.

@harsha_9640 please see the documentation about why you should always have a date table

Hi,
I think the solution proposed by @mattiasdesmet makes sense. You could add a date table using DAX Calendar or CalendarAuto function and then create a relationship between the two. Then your slicer can refer the Date field of date table.
