    I managed to created a count measure that works as I would like;

    Count of Active =

    VAR __SelectedDate = [Selected Date]
    Return
    CALCULATE(COUNT('Risk Data'[Id]),__SelectedDate>'Risk Data'[FromTT], IF(ISBLANK('Risk Data'[ToTT]), TRUE(), __SelectedDate<'Risk Data'[ToTT]))

    But I'm not sure how'd I go about turning this into a true/false filter measure of each risk ID

    I have test on my side, This formula works well, and what is " I'm not sure how'd I go about turning this into a true/false filter measure of each risk ID"?

    Ah sorry, I've just realized if I use my count of acting as the visual level filter, I just need to set it to is greater than 0 to get the effect I was looking for.

    The previous response about setting the filter to true was confusing me since it wasn't an IF measure.

Sad to say, I cannot figure out exactly what is going on.

I am posting the version of your measure I rewrote with as many VARs as possible

Active Threats =
VAR max_date = MAX('Risk Data'[FromTT])
var sel_date = [Selected Date]
var is_selected = [Selected Date]>max_date
var is_blank = ISBLANK(max_date)
var false_test = [Selected Date] < max_date
var result = IF(is_selected && IF(is_blank, TRUE(), false_test), 1, 0)
return result
I tried returning the different vars to figure out what the problem was, but could not see what what happening.
