Formula for Column Based on Filters
Hi AkameNoGamma
The currentdate is to get the value of the row separately but not the really current date.
Just like this:
Certainly the Slicer can not affect the table view, but what i used is the table visual in the report view.
At last, the calender date is created for your reference, you can create a new reference table.
If the above one can't help you, could you please provide more raw data in your tables (exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with backend logic and special examples? It would be helpful to find out the solution. You can refer the following links to share the required info:

Hi AkameNoGamma
Please try this:
First of all, I create a set of sample:
the book2:
Book 1:
Then add a calender table as a reference.
The Book1 and Book2 should be linked as an one-to-one relationship:
Then add a measure:
CurrentDepartment =
VAR _currentDate =
MAX ( 'Table'[Date] )
RETURN
IF (
_currentDate < MAX ( 'book1'[Effective Start Date] ),
SELECTEDVALUE ( book1[Previous Department] ),
SELECTEDVALUE ( book1[New Department] )
)
Create a table and a slicer:
The result is as follow:

Thank you for replying to my post. I dont think "current" date will work as i need the column to reflect the new or previous department based on my slicers. and while researching, it seems that the slicers that i have will not affect the table view
and to add, i'm actually looking for a formula that dynamically changed regardless of the year and month slicers that i selected.
