Dynamic Date Axis

I have seen lots of tutorials on adjust charts based on slicers, but I'd like to use one chart page for several projects and have the x-axis change the start and end date accordingly when someone sel...

That might be the solution, but I sure couldn't make it work.  I tried a few different methods and can't get the dates to filter based on the project selected.  I have a table that shows the project name and the minimum and maximum dates that should be on the chart (CRMinMaxFinDates) and created this measure, but that's a list and won't work as a filter, so I did the same thing, making it a dynamic table and tried to use the column from that table as the X-Axis, but it doesn't filter when I select the project.

FilteredDates =
VAR Date1 = LOOKUPVALUE(CRMinMaxFinDates[MinDate],CRMinMaxFinDates[PROJECTID],SELECTEDVALUE(Tasks[Projects.PROJECTID]))-7
VAR Date2 = LOOKUPVALUE(CRMinMaxFinDates[MaxDate],CRMinMaxFinDates[PROJECTID],SELECTEDVALUE(Tasks[Projects.PROJECTID]))
RETURN DATESBETWEEN(WEDates[WEDate],Date1,Date2)
 
I did also try your method of creating an IF measure to return a 1 or 0 but when I add it as a filter and select only the 1's the chart has no dates and I suspect my MIN MAX functions are not correct, but I can't figure out how to refrence the dates on the X-Axis.
DateCheck =
VAR Date1 = LOOKUPVALUE(CRMinMaxFinDates[MinDate],CRMinMaxFinDates[PROJECTID],SELECTEDVALUE(Tasks[Projects.PROJECTID]))-7
VAR Date2 = LOOKUPVALUE(CRMinMaxFinDates[MaxDate],CRMinMaxFinDates[PROJECTID],SELECTEDVALUE(Tasks[Projects.PROJECTID]))
VAR FlagDateCheck =
IF(
MIN(DateTableQuery[WeekEndDate])<Date1
|| MAX(DateTableQuery[WeekEndDate])>Date2,
0,1)
RETURN FlagDateCheck

    I got it to work by replacing the MIN and MAX in the IF statement with SELECTEDVALUE.  I thought when I'd done that initially it didn't work, but it does seem to.  Thanks for your help.
