Power BI Report where a user can search on multiple fields as an OR not an AND

I want to create a Power BI Report where a user can search on multiple fields as an OR not an AND.

 

e.g. see xls below

 

Want to be able to search from the Report View:

Birthdate before 10/1/2004 - OR

ApplDate before 4/1/2021 - OR

CloseDate = 8/18/2021

Results for the above = 

Rows 2, 3, 6, & 5

Hi @CharlotteCity12 ,

 

Please try measure like this:

Flag = 
IF (
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[BirthDate] ) < DATE ( 2004, 10, 1 )
        || SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[ApplDate] ) < DATE ( 2021, 4, 1 )
        || SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[CloseDate] ) = DATE ( 2021, 8, 18 ),
    "Y",
    "N"
)

 

then drag the measure into visual level filter, you will get the result below.
