Filter inside a measure not working...

Hello community,

 

I have a measure that I am then manually adding a filter to it on the filter panel but now require to use that filter within the measure itself: 

I have tried this 2 different approaches: 

MSIDeltaBOX =
DIVIDE(
    [MSI]
        - CALCULATE(
            [MSI],
            PREVIOUSMONTH('CALENDAR'[DATE]),
            FILTER(
                ALL(TICKET_DASHBOARD_HISTORICAL),
                TICKET_DASHBOARD_HISTORICAL[CLOSED_DATE] = 1
            )
        ),
    CALCULATE(
        [MSI],
        PREVIOUSMONTH('CALENDAR'[DATE]),
        FILTER(
            ALL(TICKET_DASHBOARD_HISTORICAL),
            TICKET_DASHBOARD_HISTORICAL[CLOSED_DATE] = 1
        )
    )
)

For this approach it gives me the results of all the rows and then once I add the closed_date collumn to the filter panel and choose only the ones that equal to 1, then it gives me the correct result that I want to see and I need this to happen without having to add that filter manually.
 
I also tried to do it separately, where I already have the calculation done and then create a measure just to filter the correct rows but then this measure is giving me blank results for some reason:


MSLDELTA =
CALCULATE(
    [MSIDelta%],
    FILTER(
        TICKET_DASHBOARD_HISTORICAL,
        TICKET_DASHBOARD_HISTORICAL[CLOSED_DATE] = 1
    )
)

You generally can't measure a measure.
