Using DAX to incorporate the results of a slicer

[DavidCunningham]

I have built a dashboard that has a Month to Date (MTD) and Year to Date (YTD) slicer. The slicer works as a file parameter which selects different DAX incoporating a MTD and YTD filter.

I want to add a "custom date" option on the filter, which will send back values incoprating a seperate date filter (i.e. someone wants to see data from January, February and July, so they select that in the date silcer and then select the custom date option on the other slicer.

I think i need to build DAX to do this (like i have with YTD and MTD) Im just not sure how. 

Thanks

Hi @DavidCunningham ,

Based on the knowledge, creating a measure based on the custom date.

CustomDateMeasure = CALCULATE(
       SUM('Table'[Number]),
       'Table'[Month] IN VALUES('Table'[Month])
   )

Then, creating another measure to filter slicer values.

Measure = 
var _selected = SELECTEDVALUE('Option Table'[Option])
RETURN
SWITCH(
       TRUE(),
       _selected = "MTD", [MTDMeasure],
       _selected = "YTD", [YTDMeasure],
       _selected = "Custom Date", [CustomDateMeasure],
       BLANK()
   )
