Lookup start date and end date from another table

[Anonymous]

Hi, 

I got two tables, a calendar table (A) and table showing products' start and end dates (B). How can I get the result as shown in table C below (first date in the list would be current date and last date from the Product table, all dates in between should be listed)  

Calendar (A) 

Date

1/1/2020

1/2/2020

1/3/2020...

Product table (B)

Product	Start Date	End Date
A	6/1/2020	9/30/2020
B	9/1/2020	9/30/2020
C	1/1/2021	12/31/2021

Result (C)

Date	Product 1	Product 2	Product 3
6/7/2020	A	null	null
6/8/2020	A	null	null
...
9/1/2020	A	B	null
...
1/1/2021	null	null	C
...
12/31/2021	null	null	C

Best regards,

Chris

Pseudo code here

var d= max(date)

var Res = calculate(max([product]),[product start date]<=d,[product end date]>=d)

return res

This will result in the product name if in range, and BLANK if not.

EDIT: actual code here:  Note: no relationships between the tables!

live = 
var d = max('Calendar'[Date])
return CALCULATE(max('Product'[Product]),'Product'[Start Date]<=d,'Product'[End Date]>=d)

Hi Ibendlin,

and thanks for your input. I tried your measure, but it does only return one product for a specific date even though there might be several products with the same starting date? What am I doing wrong? 

However, I was thinking of how to solve this in M as a new table and not DAX as I need to make some further calculations to the data once I get this first step sorted out.

Best Regards,

Christer

the measure works fine for me. Have you put your fields in the right place? Date is from Calendar, Product is from Product. No linkage.

Now I got it to work after seeing your formula. This solution will work, thanks a lot!
