Measure Filter Help

I have the following measure:
Measure 2 = IF(MAX(Collections1[Subcategory])="Sales Orders",'Sales Orders'[Sales Orders Value],
IF(MAX(Collections1[Subcategory])="Purchase Orders",'Purchase Orders'[Purchase Orders Value],
[Measure]+0))
 
I want to be able to filter a subcategory by a date filter. The date filter needs to be from a separate date table. Ideally, the formula would like like the code below, however this does not work. Does anyone know of a way to do this?
 
Measure 2 = IF(MAX(Collections1[Subcategory])="Sales Orders",'Sales Orders'[Sales Orders Value],
IF(MAX(Collections1[Subcategory])="Purchase Orders",CALCULATE('Purchase Orders'[Purchase Orders Value],Collections1[Date Value]=Date[Date]),
[Measure]+0)))

@johankent30 can you share how you tables are related?

@parry2k right now there is now relationship. I’m not opposed to creating one. If I did it would be a many to one relationship from the collections1 table to the date table

@johankent30 as best practice it will be easier to have relationship.

Okay, is it possible to filter the subcategory values by a date selected on the date table then? How would the DAX look in my formula?

@parry2k I've tried to include more info, but let me know if you need anything else. I have the following visual.8.12.JPG

You can see that I am analyzing the AP data by a date heiarchy. The table that feeds this visual looks like this.8.122.JPG

 

What I am hoping to do is to create a date slicer that can filter just the subcategory of "Purchase Orders". So referring back to the first pic attached, the purchase orders amount is $1399 for each day, but I want to be able to select dates from a slicer list and choose which days the purchase orders show up in the visual. So if I selected 9/1/2019 then purchase orders would have $1399 on 9/1/2019 and 0 on all of the other days, but the Payables line would not change. The measure that I believe needs to be changed is in the second pic. I would think there would be a way to filter the Date Value column in the table illustrated above for only the dates selected in a disconnected date table, and for this to only apply if the row had "Purchase Orders" as the subcategory, but I can't seem to figure out the solution. Thanks!
