    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() )

    Best Regards,

  • 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 )
