Hi,
This is probably quite simple, but I have been using other BI tooling the last few weeks and I'm a bit out of my power bi rythm 🙂
I have a table with the following info:
File No. | Date created | Date Archived
1 | 01-01-2021 | 01-02-2021
2 | 01-02-2021 | 01-03-2021
3 | 01-02-2021 | 01-03-2021
I want to have a graph that shows the amount of currently active files.
So that would be COUNT (File No.) on Date created MINUS Count File No. on Date Archived
How can I achieve the below graph with amount of active files per month? I need to combine the dates but I cant figure out how
Solved! Go to Solution.
@Anonymous , You need to create a common date table and join both dates with that. One join will be inactive, that you have to activate in a measure using use relationship

Hi, @Anonymous
Please try the below measure.
Counting active files =
calculate ( countrows(table), filter (values (createddate), createddate <= max(datetable date)),
filter (values (archive date), archive date > min(datetable date)))
In this case, the relationship between the table and the date-table has to be inactive ( or no relationship).
if it is OK with you, please share your sample pbix file, then I can try to come up with a more accurate measure.
thank you.

Thanks amit, I'll have a look and see if this is the solution to my problem. Will mark later if so!
Edit: Apart from the extra conditions I have in my dataset which I will add manually was this exactly what I needed. Great explanation and awesome content Amit!
