I have a table with a unique key that I would like to count. However, I only want to count the item IF it exists between two date columns.
Logic: count if THIS unique key occurrs again between date opened and dateplus 7.
Resulting code in M Language please.
UNIQUE KEY DATE OPENED DATEPLUS7 CUSTOM COLUM RESULT WANTED
B 12/05/2022 12/12/2022 2
B 12/07/2022 12/19/2022 2
B 12/13/2022 12/20/2022 1
B 6/13/2022 6/20/2022 1
B 4/13/2022 4/20/2022 1

Hi, @dlukin778 ;
Yes, that one really didn't work, you can change to:
let
b=[#"DATEPLUS7 "]
in
Table.RowCount(Table.SelectRows(#"Changed Type",each
([DATE OPENED]<=b and [#"DATEPLUS7 "]>=b) ))

Hi, @dlukin778 ;
Try it custom column.
let
a =[DATE OPENED],
b=[#"DATEPLUS7 "]
in
Table.RowCount(Table.SelectRows(#"Changed Type",each
([DATE OPENED]<=b and [#"DATEPLUS7 "]>=b)
))
The final show:
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WclLSUTI00jcw1TcyMDKCcIAIzInVQcibI8tbYsgbGiPJGxmgypvBpBXAHHRpEyTdJgjZWAA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"UNIQUE KEY " = _t, #"DATE OPENED" = _t, #"DATEPLUS7 " = _t]),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"UNIQUE KEY ", type text}, {"DATE OPENED", type date}, {"DATEPLUS7 ", type date}}),
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each let
a =[DATE OPENED],
b=[#"DATEPLUS7 "]
in
Table.RowCount(Table.SelectRows(#"Changed Type",each
([DATE OPENED]<=b and [#"DATEPLUS7 "]>=b)
)))
in
#"Added Custom"

Thanks for the answer.

I noticed that you have two definitions. A and B. But A is never used for some reason. Am I missing something?
