This is what I've tried and did not work.

Created a measure:

Selected Period =
VAR SelectedVal = SELECTEDVALUE(vw_Tableau2[Period])

return
IF(SelectedVal = "P1",1,
IF(SelectedVal = "P2",2,
IF(SelectedVal = "P3",3,
IF(SelectedVal = "P4",4,
IF(SelectedVal = "P5",5,
IF(SelectedVal = "P6",6,
IF(SelectedVal = "P7",7,
IF(SelectedVal = "P8",8,
IF(SelectedVal = "P9",9,
IF(SelectedVal = "P10",10,
IF(SelectedVal = "P11",11,
IF(SelectedVal = "P12",12))))))))))))

Created a column:
Period Checker =

IF(vw_Tableau2[Current FY?] = BLANK(),"Yes",
    IF([Selected Period] = 1, "Yes",
    IF([Selected Period] = 2,
        IF(vw_Tableau2[Period Number] <= 2,"Yes"),
    IF([Selected Period] = 3,
        IF(vw_Tableau2[Period Number] <= 3,"Yes"),
    IF([Selected Period] = 4,
        IF(vw_Tableau2[Period Number] <= 4,"Yes"),
    IF([Selected Period] = 5,
        IF(vw_Tableau2[Period Number] <= 5,"Yes"),
    IF([Selected Period] = 6,
        IF(vw_Tableau2[Period Number] <= 6,"Yes"),
    IF([Selected Period] = 7,
        IF(vw_Tableau2[Period Number] <= 7,"Yes"),
    IF([Selected Period] = 8,
        IF(vw_Tableau2[Period Number] <= 8,"Yes"),
    IF([Selected Period] = 9,
        IF(vw_Tableau2[Period Number] <= 9,"Yes"),
    IF([Selected Period] = 10,
        IF(vw_Tableau2[Period Number] <= 10,"Yes"),
    IF([Selected Period] = 11,
        IF(vw_Tableau2[Period Number] <= 11,"Yes"),
    IF([Selected Period] = 12,
        IF(vw_Tableau2[Period Number] <= 12,"Yes","No"))))))))))))))

Returning result: 
regardless of the selected period, the column returns YES to all rows. Seems the the measure is not dynamically working in a calculated column

    Calculated columns and tables are generate on semantic model refresh. Slicer selection will have no effect, on these

    Hi JofrainVisda 

    That won't work because calculated columns and tables do not respond to slicer selections. While they can influence what is displayed in the report view, they do not dynamically change within the model. In a calculated column, SELECTEDVALUE will either return blank or the alternate result. To achieve dynamic values that respond to slicer selections, measures must be used within visuals. Additionally, a separate column in the fact Continuous Period table is needed to store the period as a number, along with a disconnected table whose column will be used in a slicer to ensure all periods remain visible. Using a column from a related table restricts the visible rows to only those selected.

     

    Please see the attached sample pbix.
