slicer not filtering summarize

Hi DAX experts, I am creating a summarizecolum table.. however, i cannot see to get the SLICERS in the dim_date and dim_store to filter the summarizecolumn table. the summarizecolumn table should return 3,004 instead of 9006 after applying slicer... I read somewhere i should use FILTER fn but i cannot work this out.

@Anonymous Why do you need to do this Calculated Table?
What visual are you trying to create?

there is a nother MEasure call "allocated Freight" which come from another table and has only Month and product... This freight needs to be apportion to the 700 x stores x 250 products PROPOTIONATELY acrosss 24 Months = 4.2M row....    The Freight needs t be iterated at each row of 700 stores / 250 products / month using a SUMX...  Summarizecolumn max out at either 100k or 1Mil row..         do you have any solution you can think .. as i am scratching my head

@Anonymous I cannot help you if you don't show me what visual you want to have on the report...

The only information I have right now is that you have a model with Fact table and Dim_date and Dim_store but I don't know what you want to achieve.

i noticed you did a relationship in here.. I have to avoid that.. bcause in my real case example.. my data in 5mil rows and I need to do a SUMX calculation...Summarize table cannot cope with > 1m or 100k rows. Is there anyway we can MAKE the summarizecolumn table interact with the SLICERS WITHOUT  having to creatr a relationship

summarisecolumntable =
ADDCOLUMNS (
SUMMARIZE ( 'fact', dim_store[Store_id_descrption], dim_date[Fiscal period] ),
"sales", CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'fact'[Sales $] ) )
)

In my opinion, summarizecolumntable is created as a calculated table and relationships can be created with dim_date and dim_store. Once the relationships are created, I think, then the slicers should work.
