    Hi Selvarajen

     

    Click here to try this demo 

     

    Note that you type the date in the slicer or you can select it from the calendar menu.

    It then indicates which rows are valid. You can then adapt this to just show the rows you want.

     

    How to do it:-

     

    Use the List.Date function to create a list of dates from 1990 to today.

    Add a date slicer using this trick

    Then add this measure

    Indicator =

    --- get slicer date

    VAR pickdate = MIN(Picklist[Date])

     

    --- create a subset of the table where the pickdate is between the valid from/to range  

    VAR data_within_range =

    FILTER(Facts, pickdate  >= Facts[Valid From] && pickdate <= Facts[Valid To])

     

    Return

    --- Is the subset empty ?

    INT(NOT(ISEMPTY(data_within_range)))

    + 0
