Create a slicer or filter from a Measure

I am trying to create a slicer or filter for a measure

 

My source data only has a "Billing Start date" and no "Billing Finish Date" we only have the term of contract i.e. 12, 24, 36, etc

 

I have created a measure to create "Billing Finish Date"

 

Billing Finish Date = VAR vStartDate = MAX ( 'All Bookings'[Billing Start] ) VAR vTermMonths = MAX ( 'All Bookings'[Term] ) VAR vFinishDate = IF ( vTermMonths <> 1, EDATE ( vStartDate, vTermMonths - 1 ) ) VAR vResult = IF ( HASONEVALUE ( 'All Bookings'[Contract#] ), vFinishDate ) RETURN vResult
 
From this, I have created an "In Range" measure, which equals either "Expired" or "Booked"
 
In Range = IF('All Bookings'[Billing Finish Date]<=TODAY(),"Expired","Booked")
 
Now I need to Filter or add slicer against "Expired", "Booked"
 
Any help, advice would be appreciated

Hi @Anonymous 

Based on your explanation, I create a sample file, you can take it for reference. See sample file attached below.

Besides, the easiest way is to create a column,

In Range Col = IF('All Bookings'[Billing Finish Date]<=TODAY(),"Expired","Booked")

Then, drag this column into the slicer:

@Anonymous , You have to create an independent table(NewTable) with these two values

 

Create measures using this

countx(filter(values(Bookings[Contract#]), [In Range] =max(NewTable[Value])),Bookings[Contract#])

As I can't get this to work do I have any other options in being able to filter my data?

When I try to create the new measure suggested with the new table name I get lots of errors

Thank you for such a quick answer

 

I have watched the video but as yet can’t get my head around what needs to be done, I believe I only need a small portion of your video and need two columns

 

Contract # and In Range

 

Is that correct?
