DAX for date range lookup

Hi,

 

Can anyone help me with a calculated column like highlighted below?

 

So I have a DATEDIF of: TODAY() vs a Date column.

The Date values can be in the past/present/future or blank.

The DATEDIF result is therefor a number(negative or positive) or blank.

 

I would like to find a solution in order to create a calculated column which I can add afterwards in a slicer which will act as a filter to provide the following possibility:

 

Slicer options:

a)when A selected, filter only the DATEDIFs (or Dates) which go up to 15 (blank, past or 15 days in the future)

b)when B selected, filter only the DATEDIFs (or Dates) which go up to 30 (blank, past or 30 days in the future)

c)when C selected, filter only the DATEDIFs (or Dates) which go up to 45 (blank, past or 45 days in the future)

 

So basically this time frame must expand by selecting different options from the slicer (must be buttons/dropdown mandatory).

 

Thanks!

you can try this to create a column

Column = 
VAR _dif=ABS('Table'[date]-today())
return SWITCH(TRUE(),_dif<=15,"A",_dif<=30,"B","C")

however, the problem is we can only assign blank to one category. So I didn't put it in the DAX.
