Thanks, Parry2k, this is almost what I need... I think we need to take one step further?

 

The [value] that I am reporting is a sum from a visual-level, relative-date filter. Can you think of a way to make this work when that [value] is not coming from a table?

    kwpbi you can create measure and use that in this if condition. Am I missing something here?

      No, I don't think you are... I am new to Power BI and still learning how to use measures as variables and sub-routines (this is so different from Excel and VBA!).

       

      I think you have pointed me in the right direction... time to go home for the day though. I will let you know tomorrow if I need more help.

       

      Thanks again!
