Use SELECTEDVALE() in logic for new dax column

Hi All, 

 

I have an report in PBI that allows the end user to input their own targets (SLA's) by adding a numeric parameter for each of the 4 SLA's

SLA 2 Target = GENERATESERIES(0, 50, 1)
SLA 2 Target Value = SELECTEDVALUE('SLA 2 Target'[SLA 2 Target])


It works well proving I use [SLA 2 Target Value] on the same page as the slicer containing the series. Outside this page the measure does not work as expected

I have managed to pass the value to other report pages by syncing hidden slicers, but what I really need to do is use the value in an IF statement for a new dax column. 

For example if the user entered the value '10' into the slicer:

This works

New Column Outcome = IF( Table[SLA 2 Days] > 10, "Out of SLA", "Completed In Time")

This does not work

New Column Outcome = IF( Table[SLA 2 Days] > [SLA 2 Target Value], "Out of SLA", "Completed In Time")


Any help appreciated
All the best
Vicky

@vickyw Columns are not dynamic, they are calculated at the time of data refresh. You need to implement as a measure instead.
