Measure Working Days between dates, dynamic but with no relationship with calendar

Struggling with this, need some help. I have 2 tables, a headcount file and a calendar table. My calendar table only goes back to 1-1-2017. 

 

I have created a Dax measure that correctly calculates the number of working days between the start date of their employement and the current date. However, I need this to be dynamic when I filter for month or year. Presently, the filter does not affect the calculation. 

 

Been working on this one measure literally all day...

 

Here's my measure = 

Working Days since Start Date = IF([Total Working Days] < CALCULATE(Sum('Calendar'[Workingdays]),DATESBETWEEN('Calendar'[Date],'Headcount File'[Effective Job Date],TODAY())),[Total Working Days],CALCULATE(Sum('Calendar'[Workingdays]),DATESBETWEEN('Calendar'[Date],'Headcount File'[Effective Job Date],TODAY())))
 
Total Working Days is a measure in my calendar table = 
Total Working Days = SUM('Calendar'[Workingdays])
 
The goal was for me to take the lesser of the Total Working days in a period (or) the total working days of employment.

    Hi sublog ,

    You could try to get the value of slicer using the SELECTEDVALUE function firstly. Then use the value as a date range.

    Table =
    VAR a =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Calendar'[Date] )
    RETURN
    IF (
    ISFILTERED ( 'Calendar'[Date] ),
    IF (
    [Total Working Days]
    < CALCULATE (
    SUM ( 'Calendar'[Workingdays] ),
    DATESBETWEEN ( 'Calendar'[Date], a, TODAY () )
    ),
    [Total Working Days],
    CALCULATE (
    SUM ( 'Calendar'[Workingdays] ),
    DATESBETWEEN ( 'Calendar'[Date], a, TODAY () )
    )
    )
    )

    If you can upload a dummy file, we will help you as soon as possible. If you can't, can you please share some sample data?

     

    Best Regards,
