    Hi , toum 

    According to your description, you want to create a date slicer and you need to get the max date in table in the selected date range you selected.

    Here are teh steps you can refer to :
    (1)This is my test data:

    (2)We can click "New Table" to  create a date table as a slicer:

    Date SLicer = CALENDAR(FIRSTDATE('Table'[Date]) , LASTDATE('Table'[Date]))

    (3)Then we can create a measure :

    Max Date = var _min_date = MIN('Date SLicer'[Date])
var _max_date = MAX('Date SLicer'[Date])
var _t = FILTER(ALLSELECTED('Table') ,'Table'[Date]>=_min_date && 'Table'[Date]<= _max_date)
return
MAXX(_t ,[Date])

    (4)Then we can put the filed we need on the visual and then we can meet your need the result is as follows:

toum MAX('Table'[Date]). Am I missing something? Or maybe:

 

Measure = 

  VAR __Date = MAX('Dates'[Date])

  VAR __Result = MAXX(FILTER('Table',[Date] < __Date),[Date])

RETURN

  __Result

Thank you a lot for your help, but I need to include the min selected date of the slicer too, this means if the slicer is between 5/1/2021 and 10/1/2021 nothing will be returned because in the table there is no date between these 2 dates.
