    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    I create a table: SlicerValue

    Column1
    1
    2
    0

    And a Calculate Table:

    Calculate Table = CROSSJOIN( DISTINCT('Table'[Period]), SlicerValue )

    Then create measure and filter Column1 field by Measure.

    Measure = 
var currentyear = SELECTEDVALUE('Year Filter'[Year Filter])
var selection = IF(currentyear = 2020, 1, IF(currentyear = 2021, 2, 0))
return IF( MAX('Calculate Table'[Column1]) = selection, 1 )

     

     

    If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information or the expected result you expect. Let me know immediately, looking forward to your reply.

Anonymous , You can not use a slicer value or a measure in a calculated column. You have to create another measure for your requirement.

    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    What data do you want to filter by measure Selection validation?

     

    The values in calculated column cannot change with the value of slicer. Please share sample data that don't contain sensitive data and expected output, maybe we can do it in a different way.

      Hello,

       

      I have a disconnected table, with 2 values: 2020, 2021.

      I need to use these 2 values in a slicer to filter the periods table based on some logic. 

      If i put the logic in a measure, it works.

      If i put the logic in a calculated column, it does not work. Simplified logic can be see in the picture above. 

      Given the fact that it works with the measure, i want to make my calculated column = measure.

      Currently i do not have a sample data file. 

       

      Thank you
