Data segmentation date as DAX formula

Greetings I have a problem with a table, the calculation of one of its columns depends on an arbitrary date, for example:

Column-if(date-"10-09-2020",1,0)

I need to analyze and graph this table by varying this arbitrary date, I had thought of a slicer but from what I understand it is NOT possible to get the dates that appear there for my formula, is there any other option?

    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    We can create a date table to be the arbitrary date and create a measure to meet your requirement.

     

    1. Create a date table, then create a slicer using it.

     

    Date = CALENDARAUTO()

     

     

    2. Then we can create a measure to get the result.

     

    Column-if = 
var _select = SELECTEDVALUE('Date'[Date])
var _condition = IF(_select=MAX('Table'[Date]),1,0)
return
SUM('Table'[value]) * _condition

     

     

     

    If it doesn’t meet your requirement, could you please provide a mockup sample based on fake data?

    It will be helpful if you can show us the exact expected result based on the tables.

    Anonymous , Upu can not use slicer value in a column.

    You can try in column-like

     

    if([date] > date(2019,10,09),1,0)

     

    You can create a measure like

    if(max(Date[date]) > selectedvalue(Date[Date]),1,0)
