    Hi Rvn86,

    You can try the following steps to check.

    1. Create a new table including the slicer field, and get the selected value in new table. More details, please review this thread. 

    2. Create a card visual to display your measure value, so you can debug it step by step.

Hi Rvn86,

For my example, the slicer is also from a separate table. Please check if slicer effect your report by clicking "Edit interactions" under Fomant on home page. Please see the following screenshot, you should select the funnel button rether than the circle button.

Thanks again, v-huizhn-msft :-)

 

Yes, I know about this option, but it is not the interaction itself. When I choose a date, the formula does not consider the chosen date. It only counts when I choose days with data in it. 

 

I think it has to do with the date table and the relation between my data and the date table. 

 

I will work on this later this week, and follow up with more questions if I do not solve it.

 

Thank you very much for your willingness to reply. I really appreciate it.
