Date Slicer to Create Variable
Hi,
I am new to Power BI.
I am trying to use a slicer from a date table to create a date as a variable to use in measures.
I need to batch up invoice amounts by 31 day groups from due date and give a sum value as at a specific date.
The date table was created using a CalendarAuto function.
I am copying the method used from the following link, Guys and a Cube tutorial.

I get an error when creating the variable, (in the video, he actually uses MIN instead of SELECTEDVALUE, I have tried both.
I have tried having the date table linked to another table, and also not linked (I only want the date as a variable to use in a measure). Any ideas why I cannot get this to work?
PaulGBG , Is there anything after the return. Till return, it seems fine. Hope you are creating a measure?

This is as far as I got, even if I leave out RETURN, I still get the syntax error, so I thought that there was some other problem. It is highhlighting an error on the bracket close before RETURN. You think I need to finish the measure?
