Create a calculation based on the result of a page filter

Hi everyone, 

I have a column 'Letters' includes letters from A to ..
I am applying a page filter, that should filter the 'Letters' to be from C to X .. 
Whenver I make any calculation to take MIN(Letters) , I always get the A .. 
Is there a way to include the page filter in the calculation , to make MIN(Letters) = C ?

Here's the pbix file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1C8aPCQPa6l5AKwEwAiW1HShbTVmK85_e/view?usp=sharing 

Thanks in advance 🙂

I looked at your file.  The reason is that you used MIN in a calculated column, which do not respond to slicers.  You need to make a measure like this, and use it in your card.

 

Min Letter Measure = MIN('Table'[Letter])

Please explain your model more.  For example, how are you filtering from C to X?  Does that table have an index column and you are using those number to filter it?  If you make a table visual, do you confirm that the A row is filtered out by the page filter?
