    Solved the problem myself.

    The problem was that several dates had to be evaluated while only one was expected. I changed the "Dates" part with a new column which only shows the first date of each week for each date.

     

    Ø Annual Turnover (EUR) Done = 
IF(
   MAX('NPLM Import'[Plan R@R (internal) Date]) >= SELECTEDVALUE('Dates(2)'[StartofWeek]), 
      IFERROR(SUM('NPLM Import'[Yearly average turnover (EUR)]), "")
)

     

     

    Btw: There is nothing wrong with my dataset and connections are still maintained as before. My original post (https://community.powerbi.com/t5/DAX-Commands-and-Tips/Compare-dates/m-p/1268717) which was marked as spam, disappeared and suddenly returned, did help me solve the issue instead of instructing me.
