How to get the total amount before start date in a slicer?

[DynamicsHS]

Hi, 

I have a date slicer which is between dates. Currently the slicer is returning the amount between the to dates, which is fine for one column. However I would like to create a seperate column that calcuates the total amount from the start date of the slicer. Is this possible to do? 

I have a date slicer which is connected to a Leave table: 

The leave table has the transaction date & the accrual amount. 

Could someone please help me out with this! 

Thank you

@DynamicsHS Maybe:

Measure = 
  VAR __MinDate = MIN('Dates'[Date])
  VAR __Table = FILTER(ALL('Leave',[Date] < __MinDate)
RETURN
  SUMX(__Table,[Accrual])

Hi @Greg_Deckler , 

I was able to use this question in the forum https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Calculate-Opening-Balance-of-Selected-Range/m-p/347777#M156...

Thank you for helping out.

Hi @Greg_Deckler , 

I just struggling with the formula...

So I have the date table 

And leavebanktransaction table which holds:

Transaction date  & Amount ....

Have I placed to correct values in the right space?
