Hi @dharmdutt ,

 

That may be where the problem lies.

You need to add () to BLANK for the engine to recognize it as a function.

Measure = 
VAR Start_Date =
MIN ( data[Start] )
VAR End_Date =
MAX ( data[End] )
VAR Column_Date =
MAX ( 'Calendar'[Date] )
RETURN
IF ( Start_Date <= Column_Date && End_Date >= Column_Date, 1, BLANK() )

The formula is syntactically ok but you are missing the name of the item

 

 

a =
VAR Start_Date =
    MIN ( data[Start] )
VAR End_Date =
    MAX ( data[End] )
VAR Column_Date =
    MAX ( 'Calendar'[Date] )
RETURN
    IF ( Start_Date <= Column_Date && End_Date >= Column_Date, 1 )
