Hey thanks for the reply, i think i'm getting close to what i want. 

 

Based on the example in your link i now have this code for the measure 

 

Measure =
VAR vdate =
SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Complete Data'[date] )
RETURN
CALCULATE ( SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Benchmark Data'[impressions] ); 'Benchmark Data'[date] = vdate )
- SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Benchmark Data'[impressions] )
 
However the issue is that i cannot get a SELECTEDVALUE out from my slicer (as there isn't a single value selected, but a range).
 
But i think it could work if i use two tables that are copies of eachother, i just need to be able to get the selected value from the date slicer, or somehow just get the selected values of my "impression" field (based on the date selected). Basically i just need to know how to use the example you linked, but with a date slicer instead of a simple selection.
 
Hope i make sense. Thanks for your time 🙂
