DAX help needed to resolve slice and dice 8 weeks sum issue

Dear community friends, I'm slowing catching up with basic DAX stuff, and not surprisingly I came across a doubt again. 

Thanks @MFelix for resolving question in my last post, and this one is closely related to that.

This is my data set, 

 Table 1
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stream | Product | Week Ending Date | 8 weeks ago Date | Flag Count
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Red | A | 10/03/2017 | 13/01/2017 | 0
Red | A | 17/03/2017 | 20/01/2017 | 1

I have created a calculated field called 8WeeksSum

 

8WeeksSum = 

CALCULATE(SUM([count]),
                       FILTER(ALLSELECTED(Table1)
                                  ,Table1[Week ending date] <= MAX(Table1[Week ending date]) && Table1[Week ending date] > MAX(Table1[8 weeks ago date]) 
                                  )
                     )

 

And when I tried to view data in a pivot table, below is the result that I see. Basically I cannot slice data on stream and product level, only date level. I reckon that ALLSELECTED function might play a role here but I'm really keen to understand the reason and how to solve this problem, any advice is welcomed, thanks a million!

HI @JacobLI,

 

My previous answer was based on the available information you gave didn't know you wanted to slice by additional levels of information, try this formula:

 

8WeeksSum = 
CALCULATE (
    SUM ( [ Flag Count] ),
    FILTER (
        ALLSELECTED ( Table2 ),
        Table2[ Week Ending Date ] <= MAX ( Table2[ Week Ending Date ] )
            && Table2[ Week Ending Date ] > MAX ( Table2[ 8 weeks ago Date ] )
    ),
    FILTER (
        ALLSELECTED ( Table2[Stream ] ),
        Table2[Stream ] = MAX ( Table2[Stream ] )
    ),
    FILTER (
        ALLSELECTED ( Table2[ Product ] ),
        Table2[ Product ] = MAX ( Table2[ Product ] )
    )
)

The end result is this:

Once again if you want that your final result compreend the entire table using slicers you should replace the ALLSELECTED  by ALL
