    Hi dhruvip23 ,

    What about passing filters like this? Assuming that the table does not contain dates, consider filtering out the KEY by other containing dates first, and then filtering the table using the KEY.

    EVALUATE
VAR __keys =
    CALCULATETABLE (
        VALUES ( 'OtherTablehasDate'[FieldName] ),
        'OtherTablehasDate'[Date]
            >= DATE ( YEAR ( TODAY () ) - 7, MONTH ( TODAY () ), DAY ( TODAY () ) )
            && 'OtherTablehasDate'[Date] <= TODAY ()
    )
VAR __result = CALCULATETABLE('Table',TREATAS(__keys,'Table'[FieldName]))
RETURN
    __result

     

    Best Regards,
