Distribute a specific value over a period of time

[Anonymous]

Hi there,

I have a table in Power BI Desktop with a start date and an end date. I have already calculated a value which should be distributed over this period of time.

So, for instance, if a project starts at 03/01/15 and ends at 05/01/15, the value should be displayed from March to May. 

In Excel, I have used the following formula so far:

= IF (AND([datevalue] >= [beginvalue];[datevalue]<=[endvalue)];[calculatedvalue];0)

However, I am not able to do the same thing in Power BI Desktop. Any ideas how I can accomplish that? Thank you in advance 🙂

Edit:

ID	startdate	enddate	value
1	03/01/2015	05/01/2015	5
2	02/01/2015	10/01/2015	10

Some further information about what I want to accomplish: I want to display the values 5 or 10 in the period between February and October 2015 (10 in February, 15 in March, 15 in April, etc.).

Thank you for your help guys!

Hi @Anonymous 

Create a date table

then create a measure

Measure =
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( 'Table'[value] ),
    FILTER (
        'Table',
        'Table'[startdate]
            <= MAX ( 'date table'[Date] )
            && 'Table'[enddate]
                >= MAX ( 'date table'[Date] )
    )
)

@v-juanli-msft I am doing something similar and I used your method and it worked. Now, what if I need to get cumulative values as well?
