I have the two tables below in my power bi file. I have a slicer from Table2 that uses column [Month] as the selected value. If a month is selected, I want to calculate and filter Table1 where Table1 = the associated selected [Date Rank] from Table2 + 1. For example, if 24-Jun is selected from Table2, I want to filter Table1 where [Month] = 24-May.
Table1
ID | Status | Date Rank | Previous Status | Month | Type | Group |
A | Normal | 3 | No previous | 24-Mar | Task | <0 |
B | Normal | 3 | No previous | 24-Mar | Task | 1 to 5 |
C | Not Normal | 3 | No previous | 24-Mar | Task | 1 to 5 |
D | Not Normal | 3 | No Previous | 24-Mar | Not Task | 11 to 15 |
A | Not Normal | 2 | Normal | 24-May | Task | 6 to 10 |
B | Normal | 2 | Normal | 24-May | Not Task | 6 to 10 |
C | Normal | 2 | Not Normal | 24-May | Not Task | 6 to 10 |
D | Not Normal | 2 | Not Normal | 24-May | Task | 6 to 10 |
A | Not Normal | 1 | Not Normal | 24-Jun | Task | 1 to 5 |
B | Not Normal | 1 | Normal | 24-Jun | Task | <0 |
D | Normal | 1 | Normal | 24-Jun | Task | <0 |
E | Normal | 1 | 24-Jun | Task | 1 to 5 |
Table2
Date Rank | Month |
3 | 24-Mar |
2 | 24-May |
1 | 24-Jun |
Hi, @char23
Thanks for lbendlin‘s reply. You can put this measure in filter pane and set to 1 to filter data.
filter =
VAR _month =
SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table 2'[Month] )
VAR _dateRank =
CALCULATE (
MAXX ( 'Table 2', 'Table 2'[Date Rank] ) + 1,
FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[Month] = _month )
)
VAR _result =
IF ( SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Date Rank] ) = _dateRank, 1 )
RETURN
_result

Thank you, I'm not sure if this would work for my visual since I have other measures on the same visual. Is there anyway to write this where the filter for 1 is in the measure itself? I am trying to understand how your formula works.
Hi, @char23
The logic of this formula is to find the corresponding Date Rank of Table 2 according to the selected date and add 1. If the Date Rank of Table 1 is the same as the corresponding Date Rank of Table 2, then the Flag will be 1, otherwise, it will be 0. Add this Measure to the Filter box of the visual object, and set it to 1, then it will display all rows that have a filter of 1. What are the main problems you are currently facing that you can mark with a picture.

Add another column to Table2, call it "Next Date Rank", and set it to [Date]+1. Use that column to join to Table1.
Thank you for the suggestion. Can you elaborate. I tried this method and still haveing trouble getting it to work. This is what I have below, but it just returns blank.
