I have a Postcode Table with Lat and Lon I want to be able to filter this table down to have the result show as number 1 so it can populate a DAX formula I have to Calculate the Miles from Point to Point
This is statc data.
This is the customer that needs to be selected
I have a filter on the customer so when one is selected it needs to change the miles in the Dax.
hi, @RichyL1980
You should know that calculated column and calculate table can't be affected by any slicer. you could create a measure instead of column.
Notice:
1. Calculation column/table not support dynamic changed based on filter or slicer.
2. Measure can be affected by filter/slicer, so you can use it to get dynamic summary result.
here is reference:

Thats for the links but a measure will not do what I require. I dont think what I am trying to do is possible but thank you all the same.

I will always have the problem with this one, Adding a measured column still would not produce the required result.
Thanks for trying to help though.
