Currently, we cannot use a parameter in a calculated measure directly. To work around this requirement, we could create a query to store parameter value in a dataset, and then use this dataset value in your calculated measure. Please refer to the sample steps below.

- Create a blank query and edit the query in Advanced Editor
- Create a measure in your original table like below.
Total Sales = CALCULATE(
SUM('Headcount Data'[May-17]),
FILTER(Year_Month,Year_Month[Year_Month]=Max(Query2[ParameterDate]))
)
