    You could create a Measure similar to the below and filter for "unused" only

    Inactive Filter =
    VAR _LastDate = MAX('Table'[Date]) + 0
    VAR _CutoffDays = 365
    VAR _DaysSinceLastUsed = DATEDIFF( _LastDate, TODAY(), DAY)
    RETURN
    IF(_DaysSinceLastUsed > _CutoffDays, "Unused")

I think that almost works actually. But are measurements not used on side filters? So that all lists on the report page are automatically filtered by the measurement. 

Maybe if I explain more about what I want to do.
I have thousands of mobile plans/subscriptions and from my operatator I can get the date it was last used.
I want to be able to in a whole report page me able to add this measurement or whatever is needed to only show the ones that have nothing filled in the date last used column or havent been used in a year or older.

I solved it by creating a new column with the measurement. I learned something new.
