Looking back and in the future in DAX code

Hey all, this is a copy of a previous post I made. I already accepted it as the solution, but sadly I later realised I needed to add in more logic to the DAX. 

 

Original Post: (Firstly, a sample of my 2 tables.

 

Table1: Project                                                                       

CustomerID    |   ProjectID     | ProjectDateCreated                 

1                             5                     2020-13-05                               

2                             5                     2020-13-05                                

3                             5                     2021-01-01                                

 

 Table2: Activities     

CustomerID    |   ActivityType     | ActivityDate                 

1                            Call                     2020-21-05                               

1                           Visit                     2020-05-05                                

2                            Mail                    2020-03-01   

2                            Call                     2021-10-01

3                            Visit                    2020-08-10

 

What I want to do is to: Check all the activities that have taken place, after a Project was planned on that customer. So in this example activities in red should be filtered, because the ActivityDate < ProjectDateCreated on CustomerID. It doesn't matter if the Project isn't related to the Activity. 

I've tried the following calculated column, to filter out the activities:

Relevance= IF(FILTER(Projects, Projects[CustomerID] = Activities[CustomerID] && Activities[ActivityDate] >= Project[ProjectDateCreated]), 1,0)
 
But this give me an error saying the expression is trying to refer to multiple columns.
Sidenote: The dates column is actually just a string of numbers "20210501", but for clarity sakes, I've shown it differently in my example ) 
 
NEW:
User Amitchandak helped me out with the following DAX code:
Relevance=
var _1 = Countx(FILTER(Projects, Projects[CustomerID] = Activities[CustomerID] && Activities[ActivityDate] >= Project[ProjectDateCreated]),Projects[CustomerID])
return
if(isblank(_1),0,1)
 
This code works great, but I need to add 2 things.
1: It also has to look back no more than 7 days
2: the activities can be no longer than +30 days away from creation date.
 
Ive tried adding -7 +30 in several parts of the DAX, but couldn't get it to work. What could I do best?
 
Kind regards,
Daniël
 
PS: I've tried posting in my original post, but sadly haven't recieved a response yet, therefore I am creating a new post. Sorry if this is not inbetween the guidelines.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

Belive that this can be done by making the following:

Relevance =
VAR _1 =
    COUNTX (
        FILTER (
            Projects,
            Projects[CustomerID] = Activities[CustomerID]
                && Activities[ActivityDate] >= Project[ProjectDateCreated] - 7
                && Activities[ActivityDate] <= Project[ProjectDateCreated] + 30
        ),
        Projects[CustomerID]
    )
RETURN
    IF ( ISBLANK ( _1 ), 0, 1 )
