    Accomplished what I was trying to do.

     

     

    Filter Month = IF(AND(MAX(Run_Data[Date])>=[Report Start Date Month],MAX(Run_Data[Date])<=[Report End Date]),1,2)
    Filter Year = IF(AND(MAX(Run_Data[Date])>=[Report Start Date Year],MAX(Run_Data[Date])<=[Report End Date]),1,2)

    Then I had to ensure that Sync Slicers was selected on the view tab. (Missed that)

     

    Since I was setting the page up as static for a particular region, I was able to set up two matrix.

    1st Matrix I set the Filter Month = 1

    2nd Matrix I set the Filter Year = 1

    You could create a filtering measure the reports back if a row in your matrix falls within the report start and end date but the specifics of that are tough to pin down without sample data.

    So I was trying to figure out a way to do this.

     

    I tried the following:

     

     

    Report Year = FILTER(Run_Data, AND(Run_Data[Date] <= [Report Start Date Year], Run_Data[Date] >= [Report End]))

-OR-

Report End = FILTER(Run_Data, Run_Data[Date] >= [Report End])

     

     

    And for both cases I get the error:

    "The expression refers to multiple columns. Multiple columns cannot be converted to a scalar value."

    Also tried without measures:

     

    Report End = FILTER(Run_Data, Run_Data[Date]>=(SELECTEDVALUE('Calendar'[Date].[Year])))
