How to use selectedvalue and column values.

Hello everyone. I have a dataset looking like this:

 

Date ordered:

Date:
1-1-2012
5-6-2013
6-8-2014

This tabel has lots of dates. I use the YEAR value of this table to select a year. 

 

Next i have a table with:

NumberNameActive fromActive till
111Name11-1-201231-12-2100
222Name21-1-201231-12-2012
333Name31-1-201231-12-2013
4556Name41-1-201431-12-2100
5775Name51-1-201431-12-2100
6574Name61-1-201431-12-2100
87544name71-1-201431-12-2100

 

So now i want to create a field, showing wich number was active at the selected date. 

Example i select 2013. this should show up.

 

NumberNameActive fromActive tillWasActive
111Name11-1-201231-12-21001
222Name21-1-201231-12-20120
333Name31-1-201231-12-20131
4556Name41-1-201431-12-21001
5775Name51-1-201431-12-21001
6574Name61-1-201431-12-21001
87544name71-1-201431-12-21001

 

I tried doing this with a measure, but i cannot use columns in a measure. The i tried it using a calculated column, but i can not use selectedvalue in a calculated column. 

The calculated column looks like this:

 

 

WasActive = IF(AND([Selectedvalue] >= Table2[Active from].[Year];[Selectedvalue] <= table2[Active till].[Year]);1;0) 

 

 

 

Where i now have the simple measure:

 

 

Selectedvalue = 2013 

 

 

 

I used to have the selected value take the value from the slicer, but that ofcourse does not comply with the calculated column.
 
Anyone knows how i can fix this?
 
Thankyou.

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

You need to create a measure if you want dynamic values.

Measure =
VAR a =
    YEAR ( SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Active from] ) )
VAR b =
    YEAR ( SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Active till] ) )
RETURN
    IF (
        SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table (2)'[Year] ) >= a
            && SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table (2)'[Year] ) <= b,
        1,
        0
    )

Here is the result.
