Help with GENERATE SERIES/FILTER/CALCULATE

Hi

 

I am new to this and struggling with how to use GENERATE SERIES to filter a table.

 

I have a numeric column in a table named tblSelection[Age of Company].

 

I have used GENERATESERIES to create a new table of a range of values for tblSelection[Age of Company]*0.9 to tblSelection[Age of Company]*1.1

 

GENERATESERIES(min(tblSelection[AGE OF COMPANY])*0.9,max(tblSelection[AGE OF COMPANY])*1.1)
 
I am then trying to filter a column in a second table tblMatches[Age of Company] where the numeric value falls between the min and max values above.
 
I can't do it and am probably going about it in completely the wrong way!
 
Please can anyone offer some help?

@dpotta , if you are creating a slicer using this new table and try to filter , then you have to create it as a measure as column will not take the slicer value.

Hi Amit

 

I can see you are very knowledgeable and I am not.

 

All I am trying to do is filter a table where the values in the column tblMatches[Age of Company] fall between two values:

 

the first is the tblSelection[AGE OF COMPANY])*0.9
 
and the second the (tblSelection[AGE OF COMPANY])*1.1)
 
Obviously you know when to use GENERATESERIES and I do not.
 
How do I filter the tblMatches with these criteria?
 
Many thanks
