    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    Sorry for that Power BI doesn’t support to tick or untick a measure in filter pane. The real column has the basic filtering.

     

     

    if you want to tick or untick the field, you need to change the measure to column.

    But the column will not dynamically change according to the slicer like the measure.

     

    If it doesn’t meet your requirement, could you please provide a mockup sample based on fake data or describe the fields of each tables and the relations between tables simply?

    It will be helpful if you can show us the exact expected result based on the tables.

Hi Anonymous ,

 

If you just want to create a status column that contains “Created” and “Not Created”, ryan_mayu 's answer is good.

If you want to create a slicer based on Date table to control the status, we suggest to create a measure like this,

 

Measure = 
var _min = MIN(DateTable[Date])
var _max = MAX(DateTable[Date])
return
IF(
    MAX(Account[Createdon])>=_min && MAX(Account[Createdon])<=_max,"Created","Not Created")

 

 

 

If it doesn’t meet your requirement, could you please provide a mockup sample based on fake data or describe the fields of each tables and the relations between tables simply?

Hi v-zhenbw-msft 

Thanks for the explanations and based on your measure i created a similar measure and i need to use this measure in the filter pane as a filter.So user should be able to tick this measure if they need and untick.My measure is 

Measure 2 =
VAR minDate = CALCULATE(MIN(DateTable[Date]))
VAR maxDate = CALCULATE(MAX(DateTable[Date]))
RETURN IF(MAX(DateTable[Date])>=minDate && MAX(DateTable[Date])<= maxDate,
minDate&", "&maxDate)
But i cannot make this as a filter in the filter pane.Is this possible to do?
 
Thanks
