Hi all,
I am creating a dataset for operation departments with the following (simplyfied) tables:
Employee list
Name | Code | Department | Start date | End date | Active? |
Ali | 123 | Customer Service | 1-1-2021 | 1-5-2021 | Inactive |
Ali | 123 | Special Care | 2-5-2021 | 1-6-2021 | Inactive |
Ali | 123 | Customer Service | 2-6-2021 | 31-12-2999 | Active |
Activity table
Activity number | Employee code | Solved date |
1 | 123 | 1-4-2021 |
2 | 123 | 10-5-2021 |
3 | 123 | 10-6-2021 |
These tables have a relation on Employee Code. The problem is that the department name is not registered in the system that holds the activity data.
In this example I want to make a dashboard for Customer Service so I filter in the employee list on Customer Service. Since the tables are linked on employee code the result will be 3 activities. The result should be 2 activities because the second activity was solved by the employee when he worked for Special Care department.
How can I create a parameter/measure/filter to check if the solved date is in the date ranges that the employee worked for Customer Service? This should be the outcome:
Activity number | Employee code | Solved date | True/False? |
1 | 123 | 1-4-2021 | True |
2 | 123 | 10-5-2021 | False |
3 | 123 | 10-6-2021 | True |
In conslusion: I use the employee table to filter on a department. I need a solution to filter the right activities by checking if the solved date is included in the date range of an employee working for a department.
Thanks in advance and if more information is necessary I can provide it.

Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @TeunVerhagen11 -
Add this calculated column to the Activity table, then you can tie it to the filter on Department
Department =
VAR __Solve = [Solved date]
VAR __Code = [Employee code]
RETURN
MAXX (
FILTER (
ALL ( EmpDept ),
EmpDept[Code] = __Code
&& EmpDept[Start date] <= __Solve
&& EmpDept[End date] > __Solve
),
EmpDept[Department]
)
Hope this helps,
David
It works! Thank you very much!
