I'm not entirely sure this is possible, but I'll give it a shot.

A little background, the relevant dataset involved is a:

• Customer Dimension table 
• Item Sales Fact Table
• Date Table 

Each are connected through Primary Keys (CustID, DateID, Item ID, etc.)

A part of my goal is to be able to display a Customer's Grand total of sales over a filtered date range for only that date range.

Example 1: 

I can achieve this only if the above customer's sales occurred between 1/1/18 - 1/23/18. If they had sales any other time outside of those dates, those additional sales would be included.

 Example 2:

This is the formula I'm currently stuck with which if used in example 2 would return $145.00

Sales TEST =
CALCULATE (
    SUMX (
        VALUES ( 'fct Item Sales'[CustID] ) ,
        SUM ( 'fct Item Sales'[SalesAmount] )
    ) ,
    dim_dates[date1]
)

Is there any way to create a measure that will change based on external visual/page/report level date filters, but not based on the rows of dates within the visual? Again I understand this may not be possible or there may be another solution I haven't thought of, but I'm kind of at a loss in accomplishing this.

@Anonymous I may be wrong but I don't think it's possible to do that, the value of a calculated column cannot changed by the selected option of a slicer or visual/page/report filter.

For anyone checking this thread I was able to use a What-If Parameter to make something pretty close to what I was looking for.

Hi CRamirez,

Modify more measure as below and check if it can meet your requirement:

Sales TEST =
CALCULATE (
    SUMX (
        VALUES ( 'fct Item Sales'[CustID] ),
        SUM ( 'fct Item Sales'[SalesAmount] )
    ),
    ALLSELECTED ( dim_dates[date1] )
)

@v-yuta-msft,

I apoligize, I needed this to work as a calculated column in order to use as a filter. This measure you have does work perfectly for this specific use-case but I completely misstated my requirement. Is there anyway to have this functionality as a calculated column?

My end goal is being able to use the numeric slicer to show total customer sales for selected dates. The slider would then be able to be used to filter out customers based on cumulative sales over dynamic time ranges.
