Comparing values to target values

Question

Hi everyone,&nbsp;I'm trying to compare achieved lead times to target lead times. These target values come from a database and can differ per year.My sample PBIX-file can be downloaded via the link at the bottom of this post.DIM_Targets:&nbsp;The idea is to visualize the data in the report as follows:&nbsp;Blue are columns from DIM_Maintenance, 'Lead time' is a calculated column based on StartDate and EndDate.Red are my two measures to fetch the target value from DIM_Targets, for the corresponding year of the StartDate. However, my measure picks the MAX target, so for the bottom 2 rows the targets now say 5 where they should say 4, as 4 is the target value for 2023.'Achieved' is when Lead time &lt;= Target value, else 'Not achieved'.&nbsp;Model:&nbsp;2 questions:1) The targets could be used for DIM_Maintenance and DIM_Customer. Is this model a good setup for using targets?2) How to show the right target value (Target ID = T1) in the 'Target (days)' column? In such a way that the calculated column or measure can also be used in a slicer, to filter e.g. only 'Achieved'.Please find my sample PBIX-file here:&nbsp;https://we.tl/t-OpIWrDl1hSThanks!

Thank you for your suggestion. I now added a link to the sample file at the bottom of my initial post.

Here is the measure used as a visual filter

I also modified the data model a bit.&nbsp; Targets are not really a dimension table, at least how I understand your business premise.

Thanks lbendlin&nbsp;for looking into it.&nbsp; I understand that the measure Target achieved can be added in the side bar filters, but for users I'd prefer to add it in a slicer if possible. Although this is a nice-to-have.&nbsp;The more important question is how to find the right target.The target for %MaintenanceKey 840 is 4 instead of 5 (because start date year = 2023). What would be a measure to find the target where the target year equals the start date year?
