Measure Calculating Between Dates Accurate at Day Level, but not Month Level

[Anonymous]

We've recently started using a temporal table for our data. Because of this we have records showing Valid To & Valid From dates.

I've created a measure to calculate the number of customers that are open on any given day. The measure below works at the DAY level, but when you use a date hierarchy includes all recrods that were valid at any point during that month, not just as of the last day of that month.

Total Open Customers =
CALCULATE(
COUNT('IA Dim_Customer'[CustomerKey]),FILTER('IA Dim_Customer',
'IA Dim_Customer'[Status] = "Open"
&& 'IA Dim_Customer'[ValidFrom].[Date] <= max('IA Dim_Date'[FullDate])
&& 'IA Dim_Customer'[ValidTo].[Date] > min('IA Dim_Date'[FullDate])))

Below are pictures that illustrate the issue better.

Hello,

If i understand correctly you want to show the open customers for the last day of the month (which applies also to higher levels - meaning last day of the quarter or the year).

If this is the case, then you have to modify your formula as follows:

Total Open Customers =
CALCULATE(
COUNT('IA Dim_Customer'[CustomerKey]),FILTER('IA Dim_Customer',
'IA Dim_Customer'[Status] = "Open"
&& 'IA Dim_Customer'[ValidFrom].[Date] <= max('IA Dim_Date'[FullDate])
&& 'IA Dim_Customer'[ValidTo].[Date] >= max('IA Dim_Date'[FullDate])))

That means positioning max(FullDate) - end of each interval - between the validity interval, between Valid From and Valid To.
