Multiple data in same visual

[Lili123]

Hello,

In my data base, each line corresponds to a given item. Each item has a begining date and a end date in 2 differents columns.

I would like to compare the quantity of begining and end date in a period (month by month) in the same visual. 

I tried severeal approches, but I can't do what I need. 

Item                     Begining                        end

A                         dec 2021                        jan 2022

B                          jan 2022                        fev 2022

In that exemple, I would like to have a chart with january 1 begining & 1 end // february 0 begining & 1 end

Do you have an idea on how I can do that ?

Thanks for your help.

Hi @Lili123 ,

Below is my solution.

1.Create the yearmonth number column for the begin date and the end date.

BeginYearMonth = VALUE(FORMAT([Begin date],"YYYYMM"))

EndYearMonth = VALUE(FORMAT([End date],"YYYYMM"))

2.Create a Yearmonth table.

Yearmonth =
DISTINCT (
    SELECTCOLUMNS (
        CALENDAR ( DATE ( 2021, 11, 1 ), DATE ( 2022, 2, 28 ) ),
        "YearMonthNumber", VALUE ( FORMAT ( [Date], "YYYYMM" ) ),
        "YearMonth", FORMAT ( [Date], "YYYY-MMM" )
    )
)

3.Create a measure to return 1 when the YearMonthNumber in the Yearmonth table is between begin and end.

Measure =
VAR _NUM =
    MAX ( 'Yearmonth'[YearMonthNumber] )
VAR _BE =
    MAX ( 'Table'[BeginYearMonth] )
VAR _EN =
    MAX ( 'Table'[EndYearMonth] )
RETURN
    IF ( _BE <= _NUM && _NUM <= _EN, 1 )

4.Create another measure to sum up.

Measure 2 = SUMX('Table',[Measure])

Here's the result.
